I like the thigh covers myself. They aren't necessary, but they make the figure look so much better. The possible hindered poseability is the only real problem I could imagine.

Fri Mar 30, 2007 1:46 am

I disagree, I think they detract from the model.

Fri Mar 30, 2007 1:52 am

I think they look better when they're not skinny and un-armored.

Fri Mar 30, 2007 1:54 am

i personally think they are fine.. but will look really good once painted....maybe with some armored details on em too..

Fri Mar 30, 2007 3:40 am

I like them.

well i,ve decided to keep the height as is..... also i dont know for you guys but i think magnus needs a bigger rifle.... so i,ll do a new rifle !! bigger and badder and will have lights inside as well...... here is a leg size comparison of the first vesion and second version of magnus ....

before:

after:

Niiiiiice,i'd love to see the painted version,keep us posted marky-boy.
(wait,wtf? marky-boy? where the allspark did THAT come from ¿)

this looks 1000 times better than the original in my opinion. So far its looking exactly like what an MP Ultra-Magnus should look like. Im very impressed

About the only problem with making him slimmer might cause is that he might lose the ability to fit Alternators Autobot cars on the carrier trailer in vehicle mode.

It's a good thing he's not Slimer, or we'd have to tell Egon what you did to him!

ok first pics of the new rifle !!! not complete but coming along nicely !! notice the rifle clip

Sun Apr 01, 2007 1:37 am

Now, you're just showing off.

This all looks incredible.

Sun Apr 01, 2007 9:14 am

Haha, show off.... That clip idea is cool.

You really are just taking the mick now, aren't you? :wink:

Puts my scratched Hot Rod gun to shame...

small update !!!

new picture of the progress of the legs.... minors problems all resolved !

Mon Apr 02, 2007 3:35 am

Looks good,are you planning to make it so that the fists can fold out of the arms instead of clicking them on?

Mon Apr 02, 2007 7:13 am

Tastysweet. I don't know if you've modded the face at all, but where he looked concerned before, he seems to me to look kind of intrigued...

Like Rhinox, I'm interested to see if you're planning to make the whole thing integrated. I'm also curious about the legs. It doesn't look like there's much mass added to the sides, basically just a thin sleever round Prime's existing legs. Is this right, or a framework to built on, or am I just wrong about it entirely? And what happens to the inner 'bot's feet in this form - I'm assuming they're folded in as in truck mode...

The legs are looking good

well there will defenitly be more mass coming and be very different then my previous version..... the feets also are very different.... both in look and transformation....
well here are the first pics of the trailer mode .... this is where things wll get interesting since at this point the rear will look very different then my previous version..... will defenitly look more high-tech.... also i,ve just finished a finger for the hands !! and will be VERY poseable..... 3 articulation points each !!! (almost as poseable as my metroplex project!!) so here are the progress pics !

Tramp wrote:I noticed a problem with your model. There isn't enough clearance for any Alternators cars to fit under the upper deck/arms in trailer mode. The struts that connect the arms to the body aren't long enough. I would suggest lengthening them and raising the hinges themselvs where they attach to the body, by attaching a raised piece along either side of the body. As it stands, no Alternator is going to fit on the lwer deck at all.

really ?

Tue Apr 03, 2007 5:47 pm

hey tramp, why don't you ask if they fit instead of telling him they don't fit? You don't know for sure, because you aren't holding the toys in your hands. You want to know. He can answer for sure. That is the appropriate time in the English language to ask a question.

Tue Apr 03, 2007 6:00 pm

True 'nuff, it could've been put better. But to be fair, he did suggest checking at the end there, and to be honest, I'm pretty sure he's right; the gap does look awfully small now I actually look at it.

Ah, so you can fit 'em in. Looks a bit of a squeeze, so I doubt you'd get a Subaru in there, but hell, whatever works...
