shockwave is mainly made out of RiD wedge and Heavy Load( upper and lower body respectively)

That Thrust is really cool, I love the head on him! I also love that Primus, the detailing on him makes him look huge.

That Thrust is rediculous. Did no one notice the tiny turbine wings stuck on the sides? Clearly comical.

Primus does look pretty good, although I'd probably like a non-black paint wash, more metallic surface paint (for the dark blue and dark cyan parts, do them in a metallic version of those colors), and maybe make the yellow parts gold, or since I don't like mixing gold with silver, silver. but then they would blend in more with the planet surface. but maybe that wouldn't be so bad.

I wonder how hard it is to recreate that Shockwave... looks like heavy molding from scratch.
I'd like to recreate that Super Megatron too. I think I have WIP pics of it, and it's from a Galaxy Force Noisemaze. Just not sure what else, and how much is scratch built.

Man, I really want to know what that Reverse Convoy is made out of. Where is that Megatron head from? I really want a Reverse Convoy.

There's no clear shot of that Swindle's head. You can see it from the side, or from the front only from the eyes up, but I can't tell what it is.

So it has to be serious for anyone to enjoy???????

just because YOU don't like something (and from what I've read on this forum is just about everything!) doesn't mean that everyone has to hate something. People do have differing tastes you know! I'm sorry to rant but all of your postings are always so negative.

I think the Thrust is okay. The only thing that seems to be changed on him from the TRU exclusive Starscream is the head and those tiny Thrust wings. Those parts came from a Myclone I assume. I would have done SOME custom painting on this figure, but the factory colors suit him fairly well.

i had to look twice at thrust but i liked it on the second look,

thort id give you guys a little more today

by **jimsloth** » Tue May 23, 2006 2:08 pm

man I knew that would make a great hotrod. If only I had been able to buy just that part of him, I would have been all over that.

Oh, and TFM, on the whole wip pics on other board things, thats cool. Just never heard an explination for it before. And a Japan branch of Transtopia is a SWEET idea. Best of luck. So, how far off are the Masterpiece and Robot Masters Ginrais from getting gallerys (I know, Masterpiece already has a WIP gallery). Just curious.

What was that Hotrod made out of?

by **wldchld0783_338** » Wed May 24, 2006 9:55 am

well, piranacon already beat me to the pics of primus... as well as some other really cool stuff! Anyhow, there are some more pics of that Primus at live door.. and here they are

wow, who crapped in your cereal? stop putting words in my mouth. I just said it was silly. comical. Sorry if "rediculous" was too negative a word for you. Maybe you have problems if just because someone says something that's not praise, that you feel so insecure that you feel they're trying to change your opinion about it. You are reading WAY too much into my post.

by **Gryphman** » Wed May 24, 2006 3:13 pm

I can't believe you guys haven't noticed it yet. Those turbines aren't the only thing comical about that Thrust. It's nothing more than TRU Starscream with a couple paint apps and myclone Thrust parts. It's awsome. XD

Your right, I was having a real bad day at work and home which ended up venting in my typing!I don't know why that particular entry set me off so bad, I apologize and retract the statement!

that primus certainly kicks arse

the thrust is good, but the turbofan wings are too small

Octane is sweet! He was my first triple changer and by far my fav.
The Unicron is good, but I seem to recall TFM doing something similar and more G1

if that thing in the corner is suposed to be octanes 3rd mode, then I think it is one pretty lame tanker truck.

I concur. But I think it's supposed to just be a regular TF... Which works kind of well... But I still prefer the old Mega-Octane triple changer. I keep wondering where all the triple changers have gone nowadays... Now all they seem to do is combiners and unlocking-with-some-sort-of-key (Minicons, Cyber Planet keys) gimmicks. I'd have less of a gripe about such gimmicks if it actually unlocked something cool like a third mode... Like back in the days of Powermasters. Just with more of an updated appeal. :3

I think that image is supposed to be a tribute to the scene where Octane is freaked out when he finds out Starscream's a ghost, but I'm not sure if it was intended to have a third mode seriously or not.
