The Energon Pub

Hi! I've been doing some small works but since the gallery submitting is disabled I'll post a thread.

G1 Blaster
This is made from KO Kabaya kit , Shockini joints, a pair of classics Starscream arms and head from RID Wedge with Gundam antennas.
Yellow paint did'nt come out like I wanted, however, the camera flash does bring out the worst of it.
Small, simple, stupid.
Does not transform. I should order autobot faction sigs...soon.

Next is battle Optimus Prime with some minor mods that alot of you guys have done already. He does not transform anymore. The truck mode was useless. I added jet pack that I took from a gundam kit. He has waist articulation. Gun is from an extra mega SCF prime that I had.

Next is Long Haul. This concept was made by somebody else on livedoor
some time ago. I loved it so I did my own. He is not 100% finished.
I am doing the other constructicons so he should combine...
Classics jetfire...Only modified his head but eventually will mod other parts of his body to make him more G1 toon.
Kickback... It looks good, however, I don't have his yellow chest so I made one...Good for now.

Group shot for size comparison

Have you done the other two Insecticons? And more impotrantly, how much would it take to get you to make me a set of three:) Love how that little guy came out.

Love the Blaster too, considering how simple his transformation is other then the size of the head whats stopping him from being able to transform?

I do have the 2 other insecticons and eventually, will kitbash them, just don't know when.. How much??? I have no idea. If I was to charge considering the time and the parts that are taken from Gundam kits, the price would be....too much! If I wanted to make more money, I would do home improvments not kitbashing! But I'll consider your offer when the other 2 insecticons are done. :wink:

As for Blaster, I could've just painted the guy. I decided to improve his looks and to be honest, I did'nt want to spend too much time on him
due to the plastic quality of this kit. The kit is nice, however, his head is small, well he is a small version of the original toy so same bugs.
The legs can't bend sideways (all the way) and knees rotate one way that's why I lost his transformation.

whats the base for the constructicon?

Energon Strongarm and RID Heavy Load.
I copied on a kitbash i'd seen on Livedoor. However it took me some
time to figure out the "ingredients". Livedoor is mostly in japanese.

Here is the original kitbash:
I am sorry but I have no idea who made this. But it was great work.

You Are God! I absolutly love your blaster and your Kickback!

Found one of those Blaster kits on Ebay. I shall have to try him myself. I want a transforming one though. If nothing else I can partially merge him with a Cybertron Clocker. Seen a few decent Blaster versions from him.

Strange. I never saw that Long Haul. I recognize Strongarm easily. Was there anything more to it (your version or the original) other than Strongarm and Heavy Load? Your head looks like it might be from RID Grimlock?
Man... Energon-style Devastator combiner sounds pretty sexy... oh wait, there was one. I forgot. >_<; a 6-member one, I mean.

does Kickback transform?

Nah, that's Heavy Load's head and no mistake.

by **ptitvite** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 6:49 pm

Yep, heavy load's head. I decided to sculpt a mouth plate and minor mods.
And yes RavageX, Kickback does transform but he is kinda simple...As the original is when thinking about it.
I did'nt make any major difference between my Long Haul and the one found on Livedoor.
Mostly color changes.
