Cl Combiner ideas lmk what you guys think of them no pics

Postby Rodimus VTS » Sat Jan 20, 2007 5:03 pm

Well I now have the parts to remake 4 E combiners into G1 and I'm trying to work out the plans for them so I know what I'm doing before I really get started.

What I have planned for Menasor is a wider range of stunt alt modes from a jet to a monster truck. I'll take Barricade and put his legs down like the would be for his bot mode and build a foling box onto them to make him into Motormaster. Then I'll rebuild one of the A10 limbs into an F1 looking jet car for Dragstrip. Then I'll take one of the spare Treadshots I have and repaint it to look similar in color scheme to G1 Wildrider basically just repainting the light blue details red. Next up will be Dead End who I plan on making form a bulldozer limb into the monster truck complete with his name plastered across the side. Then Brake Down will be a sports car of some sort I'm leaning towards a Mustang or a ferrari from a tank limb.

For Defensor I want to try and make him into a modern rescue team. Hotspot will be a rebuilt Barricade. Streetwise will be a Mustang Police interceptor made from a tank limb, Firstaid will be an ambulance from a tank limb, Blades will be of course a rescue chopper made from a helicopter limb, and Groove since police don't really use motorcycles anymore I'm going to make him into a police attack chopper.

Of course I have to try and rework Devastator some. Basically I just want to make one of the crains into a cement mixer, and one of the Bulldozers into a dump truck. I also want to rdo his head but not sure if I can get it out and the bottom of it is molded into the cockpit for Scavenger.

Then I'll try and make Superion more like he was in G1 by repainting them all slightly so that they have some matching colors Probably some grey and red details. I also plan on removing his horns and replacing them with the antenas like he had in Gi which will resemble guns in jet mode.

Once I finish with these four then I will try and take the spare combiner ports and apply them to Leobreaker, TM Rhinox, TM Cheetor, TM Airazor, and BM Longhorn to make Predaking.

Seriously please let me know what you guys think of these plans.

Well, two choppers for Defensor is kinda interesting - I don't know if an attack helicopter really suits 'Defensor', heh, but i'm having trouble trying to come up with a better alternative!

I've tried to think of a good replacement for the motorbike for a Defensor project in a large scale - the best I could come up with was maybe a police divvy-van (then you could sing the song while kicking decepticon butt, har har).

Actually, from my understanding, State highway cops, and certain city cops do still use motorcycles. New York City does, so keeping Groove as a motorcycle is still perfectly appropriste and could be made from a CybertronLugnutz or Hightail figure. As far as the Stunticons go though, I would say keep the all race car format (except for Motomaster of course).

I like the ideas you've got here, but I'd recommend reassigning some of the characters.

First off, I think Dead End would absolutely hate being a truck; he'd probably be better off as either the jet or Mustang limb (I'm leaning toward the Mustang, but either would work). Actually, I think Breakdown would make a pretty good truck, but I imagine Wildrider would have some fun with it too.

And if you intend to stick with a rescue chopper and attack chopper for Blades and Groove, switch the roles you've assigned to them. Blades is the one that likes fighting, while Groove hates it; making Groove the attack chopper is just begging for disaster.

Thanks yeah I had thought of Breakdown for the truck too at fist the name fits so Breakdown monster truck, and Dead End Mustang drift racer. Wildrider just kind of sounds like a name a stunt jet might have. I guess you're right about Blades and Groove too but I guess Groove coupld be a police search chopper. I mean the E Bruticus hands work well for either. Now to just decide on a color for Groove white or police blue. Or just blue and white. Yeah blue and white.

I understand what you're saying Tramp but to be honest the Lugnutz mold won't take the combiner ports. So that's why I went with police chopper and in my area (Maryland) I haven't seen a motorcycle cop since I was like 10. Also I understand the wanting to see race cars since that is more G1 accurate but to be honest if they went to a stunt show to scan new forms they would see a wide range of opportunities and take great advantage of them.
