Just thought that this would be the perfect mold for a great remold of E.Megatron into Universe/Timelines Thunderwing.

Of course it's a homage to Don's Art in the Stormbringer Comics by IDW.

The first 3 shots are pre first sculpt. Last shot is slight sculpting. i still have to do lots of sculpting on the chest but the Head is about Halfway done being Resculpted.

Enjoy. Wouldn't this be a kick ass Club or Botcon Exclusive?

Kick-arse indeed. It's actually one of those ideas that looks deceptively simple, I can't help wondering why we haven't seen somebody at least suggest this before.
I'm loving where this is going. Do you plan on taking it further and doing the robot mode as well?

everytime i feel like i have a great idea, someone has already gotten to it... shucks. Oh well, at least its the master who was the one to do it. I'm sure yours will end up much better than anything i'd make. Keep up the amazing work.

Well, take this as a step by step and examine the progress I made while you do your own. It'll help if anything.

Besides, when this is done I plan to reproduce the parts so i can make kits to sell or trade.

that'd be awesome

Ultra Mode included?

by **fromwednesday747** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 12:26 am

i'm not going to say "impossible"... and maybe i just have a small imagination, but i certainly don't see how that mold could become the ultra mode... cause, as is, the legs would have to become the new arms. Unless TFM is going to scratch built some new thrusters that is.

I'll do you one better.

Let me just say this isn't the only version of Thunderwing I'm doing. The other is a secret.

This is just for those that would like a cheep Alternative.

Very very nice TFM. And loving the Stormbringer homage, gives me ideas myself...

by **fromwednesday747** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 2:03 am

that really is starting to look just like him, amazing.

Thanks guys. I should have this finnished and molds made by tomarrow night at the latest.

If anyone might want a kit LMK. I don't know if they are ganna be $25 or $35 for it because it depends on how much of a b*tch it is to cast it and how much resin is used.

The cod piece looks to be way off center. It's driving me nuts!

Everything does, it's tilted to the right in that pic and barely standing on its own.

This is looking good

I hope your planning on making more Stormbringer figures

by **Broadblasts short shorts** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 6:45 pm

Surely codpieces are supposed to protect your nuts, rather than drive them?????????

Ok. It's update time.

First. let me say that the face showing here isn't the final face. The final version has a very hice pointy Goat-T.

Anyhoo, keep in mind that this is just to show off the chest and head peices and that ther rest of the altered cosmetics of the wings and cockpit are just for MY personal alterations and will not be part of the kit.

I wanted my U.Thunderwing to have the Pretender smaller Bot Concept so I made a place that can house ans store a smaller robot and that robot also becomes the guns on the fins on the front of the cockpit like in the comic. (Albeit a bit larger)

Enjoy.

This 4 peice kit is now available for a very limited time in very limited quantities so if you want one for yourself you should prob contact me now. I'm not ganna make that many of these kits. It's 25$ each and remember that it is for the smaller 2-pack Op and Megatron Energon figures. (SL Galvatron in Japan.Works for the same figure.)

And also notice, although the rest of the figure is still unpainted such as the body and legs and wings and whatnot it still looks like Thunderwing and Seperates it's self from E.Megatron.

If you would like one of these kits Contact me via PM and we'll work it out.

Fianl painted Kit pics will be available tonight with the new modified head with Goat-T. Also, if you want clear peices for your figure's head it'll be $5 more but to be hounest it'll prob look better painted the proper colors instead IMO.
