The Energon Pub

This project has been on my mind for a few years now..Growing up I always loved the combiners. I loved the idea of 5 bots coming together to form a giant powerful robot. That being said , My fav, menasor has never really been portrayed as I would like him to so I got to work.

The bots involved are

A extra KO Nemesis prime( aka Motormaster)

ROTF Scouts dead endx2(as Dead end and Wildrider, I know , Using the same figure twice is taboo but trust me it's worth it)

ROTF Scout Brakedown( As himself)

07 movie Scout Clocker( as dragstrip..this one was a tuff choice)

As of right now im still waiting for 2 of the figures to arive via BBTS but ive already begun the combining joints.I've cannibilized a box of KO combiners( Protectobots, Bruticus) for M&F joints as well as some feets and some other odds and ends.. Im gonna do the assembly work first then paint..

I'm always open to suggestions and ideas..Especially on the combining joints..This will be my first real custom( 10 million+ repaints ) and Im looking to maybe entering this at botcon in pasadena next year!!!!!

Arrrgh ..Having trouble finding the proper position for Optimus arms ..The damn door hinges keep getting in the way..Im thinking about scrappin him for Rid scourge or maybe looking for something else..It sucks too because the legs were gonna look great with dead end!



Clocker came today, I think he'll work out well for a limb with a couple of minor mods..Just waiting on Brakedown to come in and see how he'll work out..

Well today Brakedown arrived..I was a little skeptical when i forst opened him up and messed around with as a Limb..His legs didn't really stick out as far as I would have liked ..Im trying to keep him as the left arm and Dragstrip(aka clocker) as the right so I keep with the menasor theme..Here is the 1st mock up pic..I have actual blueprints in the works for how it's all gonna come together and Im super psyched!







My next days off Im gonna start making some mods to NP's body to make the combiner ports and work with the limbs..Just picture clocker bright yellow for the time being :P

wow, nice, but did you use optimus repainted or the sdcc nemisis prime. Also, I reccemend you use a ko menasors head, not defencers.

Its actually a KO nemesis prime..basically all black with some siler highlights..None of the figures have been painted yet, which they will. Clocker will be yellow to match Dragstrip and one of the dead ends will be painted to match wildrider..I have some reprolabels coming for some finishing touches once all the fabrication is done along with paint..I lucke dout finding Brakedown at a dollar store and he matches perfectly along with dead end, of course he'll get that lil stripe across his hood...

I just used Defensors head for the mock up..I still have alot of work today..Thanks for commenting! Im wondering if I should use a actual menasor head or mold a classics-esque one on my own..

how about useing a cybertron/galaxy force supreme starscram head, with added crest and other things

cool so far.

I'm actually attempting a similar thing, but I got no idea who to use as my MM.

Here's my layout so far:


Dead End and Breakdown will be playing themselves, whilst Leadfoot will be Drag Strip, and Doubleclutch is my Wildrider.

dude HOLY CRAP I was gonna use the PCC too but I changed my mind. Thats crazy! Good luck with your project! Will have to compare once we get em done!

I finally got my workshop set up somewhat so i got some pre-fab work done on Motormaster. After salvaging the M&F connectors from a KO combiner I measured and dremeled out the female joints on MM's lower legs.They came out great although the left one is a tad loose. I'm gonna re-enforce it with some loctite 2morrow.. sorry my camera is out of whack today...

Ah, it's nice to see the ideas we discussed coming together! Looking forward to the finished thing!

kind of hitting a snag right now.. I need to get some molding done but Im waiting on my order of epoxy mold to come in the mail.. The shoulders are gonna be a task. After going over some notes I relazied that In ordr for this all to work I need to make the shoulder joints removable So I can retain a Individual robot and alt mode. Luckily I plan on using a BST Silver prime trailer and it has some nice little storage compartments..

Gonna start fabbing the legs, should have some pics of combined leg mode by wednesday..

The pain of using a KO toy has reared its ugly head.. While dismantling a shoulder on the KO nemesis prime I snap a inner peg off on the shouklder and now it refuses to go back together..This might complicate things! I might just break down and look for a nemesis prime and skip using a KO..

a good MM would be cybertron prime
p.s. how do u post ur own pics
