Needed: Designer for Botch cassette/crab toy

Motto: "Victory is decided in the planning stages."

"Botch the Crab is the greatest TF fan character ever created. He's totally canon in my head." - Derrick J. Wyatt

Hi! This is Botch, the guy behind the Transformers Box Art Archive.

If you're familiar with my site, you're probably familiar with its mascot, Botch, a Decepticon cassette that transforms into a crab.

For a long time I have wanted to produce an actual transforming Botch toy. Now that we're in the age of third-party products, I think that time has come.

I already have a tentative agreement with an established third-party TF manufacturer to mass-produce a Botch toy. Now all I need is a realistic design.

So! I'm looking for someone who can produce that design. I'm open to different formats: sculpted toy; CAD drawings; 3D image design.

Some details:

Botch should be equal in size to the other original Decepticon cassettes and therefore able to fit in Soundwave.
That means a lot of tiny parts, like the legs and the claws (which should open and close).
In the style of most cassettes, his (hopefully chrome) weapons will be detachable, of course.

If you think this is the right thing for you, email me at botch@botchthecrab.com or message me with info about format and estimates.

A chance to design a mass-produced third-party toy for a popular fan character! Who's up for it?

For more information, and to see more images of Botch, visit the About Botch page.

UPDATE: I found a designer who I am working with. Thanks for the responses!
