August 2nd Update;

Rung and Cyclonus. Sorry for the rushed photoshoot, it started raining for some stupid reason

Cyclonus is 100% done, I’ll just wait for his paint to cure before I do a vehicle shoot. Rung needs some work in vehicle mode but other than that, he is pretty much done. Sorry I didn’t really get much of a shot of my work on Rung’s face, I’ll get it next time!

You don't know how excited I am to see this finished

I dig all of the love that IDW has been getting. I really enjoy the comics and to me anymore when I think G1, I can't help but think of old school G1 and IDW. They really took the characters from my childhood and updated them. As opposed to recreating them. I fell IDW accurately captures the G1 characters and represents them to the current generation of fans very adequately. To me IDW characters are G1 characters.

I love your Roommates set. Can't wait to see the final pics.

Fabulous looking Rung there! I've often wondered who/what could be used to make him. Animated Prowl never occurred to me, but it works so well. Good luck on the rest of the crew!

August 8th Update;

Shapeways certainly ships fast. Working on Rewind and Red Alert.

Just a lil update

News Credits: 1452 · by **Blurrz** » Fri Aug 23, 2013 6:49 pm

I'm done Rewind xD. I could transform him into whatever alternate mode that Fakebusker designed but I was a bit lazy. Enjoy.

Great work, the project is coming along nicely

News Credits: 7 · by **TulioDude** » Tue Aug 27, 2013 9:43 pm

I would suggest using more lines on Cyclonus face to make him more like the comic.

Good stuff blurrz

. I'm excellent at drawing but when it comes to trying to customize my mind draws a blank it's very irritating as i really want to get my teeth into this side of the hobbie .

dude, I'm full of envy.. these look awesome.. looking forward for the complete ensemble

Nicely done! Can't wait to see them all together when you finish. This mold works really well for Drift.

Nice use of Beast Hunters Wheeljack. Gives the mold justice for once. >:oP

Yikes, I went on a longer hiatus than I wanted to. I finished Ratchet after I finally got out of my painter's, artist's, whatever block. Enjoy!

Oh wow, that Ratchet is brilliant! Great work! Never thought of using that mold for Ratchet, but it works wonderfully!

i was really hoping for a retool of perceptor for a new generations ratchet. even in alt mode it will fit him nicely

Thanks guys!

Found Skids finally... Lost Light group picture looks pretty epic.

That group shot is fantastic!

Hi everyone! I'm done with the robot mode for Ultra Magnus, and I'm really happy how he turned out. If you didn't notice, I used the MakeToys Dagger Interspace mold. I think I am going to put finishing his vehicle mode on hold for now and focusing on finishing Whirl, which is almost close to being done as well. Here are some pics!

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 4:03 pm

Yeah, that Ultra Magnus looks really nice. I'm surprised they haven't made an Ultra Magnus from that armor set yet. After all, they've made Nova Prime and Nemesis Prime.

what a beauty..

I have been watching this come together for a long time now and awesome work. Love the IDW chars and thanks for inspiring TFCC with your Chromedome. Now I will get my own in a couple months. Ultra Magnus looks really sweet and nice paint. Can't wait to check out Whirl. Time for season 2 now

EDIT: Oh yeah forgot we have Brainstorm on the way too!
