Well we've got thighs, a possibly crotch of chest plate and a cockpit.

Jetfire?

Jetfire?

I was gonna guess that but also add "G1" to it.

But I'll take another stab at it---Death Cobra?

Is that thing LOC size?

Wed Jan 31, 2007 11:29 pm

I won't make any guesses untill I see more. However, from what I do see, it looks pretty good.

At first glance I thought it kinda looked like a cross between galvatron and prime. Didn't think sixshot, cause I am just used to seeing his wings.

I'm still Working on scratchbuilding the waist and incorperating the parts i'm using for the hindges and gears for articulation. I'm using the theigh peices and hip gears from the E.Constructicon Leader so i'm in the middle of scratchbuilding the box for the clip area that the hip gears lock with...I'll shows pics later so the exsplination is clear. I think typing all that confused me too so don't feel alone if you get lost there.

Funny thing is that the crotch area is my most difficult area I had planned and I got the hardest plans out of the way. The rest should be a breeze now.

Yes, Classics Sixshot. I could have gone the route of MP Sixshot but because of the size of a MP details seem dull and I don't have very Many MP's it'll look good displayed with so since Classics is the biggest thing right now I figured a Sixshot with great articulation half the size of the Original would be perfect choice for me.

I have the Wolf head and Neck planned a certain way to allow the wolf neck 3 points of articulation alone and still house my plans to store the Robot head inside the neck when transforming. the pannel in the bottom of the neck would fold out and the head would turn around to show the cockpit in tank mode instead of inside the mouth of the wold like the original.

Again, I only plans to use peices that are needed for transformation and articulation but everything else will be scratchbuilt, all the way down to both heads and all guns.

Gears and hinges will be the only original peices. This will be sweet. I hope I get him donw in time to finnish a couple more "Classics" like Scratchbuilds.

In definately shelved.

I don't know what it was, after awhile it hit me and he just didn't feel right.

If I'm ganna do a MP Grimlock i'd have to do it right and make sure he towers over MP Prime in both modes.

I just feel like I would cheapen the image of Grimlock to make him/it so small.

Did you make any further progress on him thou??
Just because hes not big enough to be MP, he could still be a Dinobot stature to Classic Prime, better then classics is anyway.

Sun Feb 04, 2007 2:22 am

Wow. Classics Sixshot :shock:

Yeah, this is gonna be good.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Feb 06, 2007 7:05 pm

Update Time. Still in the Construction phase before details but I wanted you guys to see how it's comming along and how the legs will work in 4 of the 6 modes.

First, a detailed look at the building of the crotch interior.

Now Wolf Mode Legs. Notice how I am trying to give it that Segmented look.

Bot mode Legs. This is ganna be one tall and slender bot with bulk in the right places.

Car mode...

..and Aircraft mode. Nothing much to say here.

Now before anyone asks, no the Green ass peice will not be part of the kitbash..it's just a place holder as I build around an onto it.

Enjoy...I'mm be working on the main body or arms tonight.

Wow... this is gonna kick so much arse. Are you actually fabricating the various ratchety bits? 'Cause that's dedication... I love the crotch plate, too, nice job there.

Tue Feb 06, 2007 8:59 pm

That is going to be so sweet when its done.

Sun Feb 11, 2007 1:35 am

First it was a MP/Alt Menastor, now this . . .

TFM, how in the world do you know how to pick my favorites?

He's looking great so far!

Sun Feb 11, 2007 10:34 pm

::squints:: nope those are marvel MiniMates, look like Cyclop's feet (just a guess thou)

Tue Feb 20, 2007 5:22 am

I know you can't rush art like this but when will there be any updates?

Tue Feb 20, 2007 12:24 pm

TFmaster's been pretty quiet lately. I think the next update will be a big one.

Can't wait to see an update to this one! Looks like it'll be a blinder!

Tue Feb 27, 2007 1:11 am

Those are Minimate Ultimate Storm boots!!! I'd recognize them anywhere!!

That is awesome so far!! How are you guys (Mench0y, Tramp, Sculpt-Bot, you) doing the joints? Is there a Scratch Build Tutorial somewhere on this site? (It's pretty massive, I haven't had a chance to look around everywhere yet...)

What kind of paint did you use for your Classics Megs? The green and purple are bothering me. Also, where're his "wings"? And, does his gun mode look good without them?

Looks great, and can't wait to see more!!
