Blimey, I just tried it, and it even works in IE!

I'm not sure I like Thundercracker that much, he looks too pastel - could do with being a fair shade darker. And the pointy toes look silly; there's a reason they're designed to fold in.

I like the Gutcruncher one, although one of his modes looks like a scorpion, which doesn't sit right with me.
I'd never have thought of that mod, though. Genius.

Couple of new tasty ones:

RM Starscream altered to give him knees. Looks like he's also had a slight repaint; the blue's definitely darker. Nice.

Go-Bot Optimus Prime converted from the Alt Acura mould. Nice work, but I'm slightly baffled; aren't those markings from Soundwave, rather than Prime?

That SS also has toe articulation now. And I love that the Prime has a random screw between his thighs to further reference the Gobot. Did the gobot not have a face plate?

The hood design and color scheme is off of the Japanese version of Gobot Prime.

Nope, he didn?t.

Thanks, Gryph. I could've checked that myself, but I couldn't be bothered last night after spending hours transcribing an interview.
And yeah, I noticed the screw, too. Nice touch. :lol:

Mainframe converted from Scattorshot. Interesting.

And Powermaster Menasor.

As far as I can tell, here's his tailgate too. I think there's some guff about Dr Mindbender being his partner, but the translation's awful...

strange, with the limbs colored. heh. I think it's pretty silly myself.

by **tentagil** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 8:25 am

new Menasor type head would have been better I think, but its kinda cool.

by **Hobbyist Prime** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 10:57 am

The individual colors for the arms an legs are a really nice touch!

by **jimsloth** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 4:33 pm

You guys seen the clocker to hotrod paint over there yet? Kinda nice, kinda a little sloppy, or could just be bad photos.

by **Ramrider** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 5:30 pm

There's now also a BW Snarl/RM Bound Rogue to Hot Rod repaint...

Dinobird Starscream?

by **Lord_Loqi** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 4:30 pm

not too bad looking. I don't know where but i remember seeing a Waspinator repainted as screemer too. This one's definately a little more origional.

Technically not sure if it should be considered a kitbash but... http://transformers.hp.infoseek.co.jp/c ... 085159.jpg

Galvatron really let himself go didn't he. Needs to lay off the Energon Donuts.

by **TM Devastator** » Thu Nov 09, 2006 10:33 pm

heh! Having just seen the Headmaster series recently, that Galvatron is hilarious!

by **Tramp** » Fri Nov 10, 2006 2:47 am

Man, that is just plain wrong on so many levels. :shock:

by **Lord_Loqi** » Fri Nov 10, 2006 9:27 am

I'll bet he and Energon prime were having an eating contest and optimus got his hand in the way of old galvies plate. :lol:
