First of a big thanks to Chibbywave for making this custom in the first place. This is were i got the idea from if people are unsure

http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/classics-trypticon-it-walks-t78463.php

im basically looking at copying this design but changing 1 or 2 things to it possibly

At the moment this is still a WIP which is obvious by the pictures. The main body has been repainted but i need to touch up afew parts and respray 2 other pieces i only just noticed

im kinda stuck now however as im not sure what parts were used to make the spines/spikes rotate 90 degrees. I asked chibby himself but aside from giving me the obvious of 'its alot of work' and simply 'lego parts' he never actually said WHAT lego parts. Ive no idea what there called or how to find them because..well i dunno what there called..ssoo any help on that would be great

im still working out how to attach the 2 shoulder cannons which is proving to be more difficult than what i was originally expecting

either way im gona keep this updated till hes eventually finished and before anything thinks doing this is easy...trust me its not

oh i ment to ask, if anyone recognises were the RAMPS come from that would also be alot of help

updated now with the side cannons attached and also working on the transforming cog

i still need to figure out the parts and bits to make base mode ect

repainted some smaller pieces aqua blue and smaller pieces purple ect

also repainted INSIDE the jet thrustors to make them look as if there burning/on fire.
had to repainted orange and then dab in red and then use yellow spray in bursts from a distance

small updated. ive added small paint apps in afew places and ive also gotten my grey spray now and redone the towers (mounted launchers) i did them slightly lighter than i originally did because even on the G1 figure the tower sections are lighter than the other grey parts

still working on the base mode. seems the scales will be very difficult to do so need a way around that obstical still

took some better pics today and removed the WIP stage ones

Also its NOT bionical parts, ive asked. Wierdly its lego parts which are mega brittle and i dont wana risk them breaking so im having to use a different method

Added Decepticon logo to head and afew paint apps in places.
Got screwed over on ebay with the micromaster part i wanted so have to restart again on that one
