Got some missiles this weekend for Wolfang, he is so dang close to being complete! He just needs his mutant mask, which is proving damn near impossible to locate

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Maybe someone will do a resin cast or a Shapeways repro

[Skritz]

Btw saw this custom. Sadly no robot mode pics yet.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Dang that is sweet.

Maybe when they do a Generations Transmetal Waspinator, this will be the Selects repaint

That looks really good, the colours work quite well in bot mode as well!

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Yep, that is awesome! More or less exactly as I imagined it would look.

All we need now is some other creative scamp to redeco TM Terrorsaur in the colours of either Laserbeak or Swoop. Plus TM Primal & TM Megatron as Apeface and Snapdragon, respectively. Although I am decent at sculpting, decos on that level are far beyond me.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

So Reptilion arrived yesterday. The TM 2 Iguanus mold is now complete! They're both really nice. It is a shame the mold didn't get a dedicated weapon. Slapper is next on the list. then I'll decide on going for Crazybolt, Red Spittor and Diver.

[ZeroWolf]

Yeah it was a bit lame to try and sell his missile as a handheld weapon. He'd looked cool with a morning star or ball and chain. Or a trident to sell the gladiator look

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Or even if his frill detached with sufficient handles to be swords, that would have been better than what is effectively nothing. Even TM 2 Spittor only has his tongue as a weapon. But they at least shaped it to be a mace.

[ZeroWolf]

Detachable sword frills would have been a good idea, oh well its a minor flaw on a great and detailed figure.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Indeed. Even without a weapon, Iguanus is one of the standouts of the TM 2 line. If only he had some show representation...

[D-Maximal_Primal]

That is a great looking mold, definitely high on the TMII molds outstanding in my collection to find

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Back on the subject of redecos (and the far earlier topic of unused Beast Modes) I wonder how much would it take for someone to take this:



And make it This:



The Kea

[D-Maximal_Primal]

oooooooo that's gorgeous!

[ZeroWolf]

That is a fine looking bird.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

This guy is going here since he counts as Beast Machines. I finally got the Leobreaker mold as Razorclaw, and wow this thing is sweet! that lion mode is really fierce looking, the robot mode is pretty nice, and I am laughing so hard at the Savage Razorclaw mold he forms. This was a great pickup!

[Skritz]

With SELECTS God Neptune being teased I wonder: would the second seacons (the space pirate ones) count as a Beast Wars toy despite being a G1 redeco?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I think they will. I count Gigastorm as a BW toy even though he's a retooled G1 toy

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I think they will. I count Gigastorm as a BW toy even though he's a retooled G1 toy

Speaking of, I keep hoping for Takara to start a preorder campaign for a Titan-class Gigastorm.

They'd have to test the market first, grand didn't meet their expectations I think. Meaning fort max is still the only titan to really get a redeco (not counting SDCC exclusives). I'd rather have a less brick like BW2 Galvatron. I wonder what the chance of getting a Masterpiece version to go against Lio Convoy

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I've gotten a lot of parts in lately, and some of my Beasts are now complete!

Wolfang got his mask! He looks so cool with it, he is a fantastic journey and fun figure.



Armordillo has is other beast leg, allowing him to finally transform



My first ever Beast Machines toy finally has his cannon, which makes him look so much better



Part 1 of 6 of a hard road to travel is underway, Lio Convoy has 1 of his missiles! I wonder why he came with so many missiles, he only has 4 launchers

[ZeroWolf]

I've actually got a how to draw Manga robots book that throws shade on Lio convoys design Namely the motif of the lion head on the shoulder. Not much of a suprise when you learn the book was written by someone from Plex, the designers responsible for Machine Robo (gobots) and Super Sentai Mecha.

Spares/reload fodder, probably. Same reason the G1s came with extra missiles.

Ah yes, Plex, whose favorite places to put a lion head are the chest or the waist (even if it's the back of the waist).

Of course, ever since Hurricaneger they haven't been in a position to criticize people for having a lion head on the shoulder

I have that very same book, think it was a gift as I liked to draw and like robots. Need to get back into that, I have a newly bought sketch book that remained unused for months. But motivation... ugh...
