Hey, gang,

Rather than clog up the threads for each of these, I figured I'd dump them all into the same place. Care to take guesses as to what I was trying to make?

these look great man, you've really been busy

now we just need to get you in the habit of cleaning up your lines (softening, hiding, etc) for presentation :lol:

With the erase tool [e], hold Ctrl when clicking on a line to soften (round) it.

Thanks for the compliment, Soundblaster!

(And, yeah, that sworded chap is supposed to be Drift...but Springer and Drift's heads have a lot of basic similarities.)

Here's some more!

This one I did already, but now the image is in color...

Okay, that last one is cheating since it isn't a transformer...but I thought I'd share it anyway.

Hmmmm...

Tailgate,whirl,and Swerve?? Then Skids and Cthyulu? (Forgive my spelling)

Say does it cost anything to draw these up? If not, I was wondering if I can shoot you some custom 'Formers I've made and see what they would look like as Kreons!

Eh?

I must me doing something right if you figured them all out?

If you send me images, I can do my best to see what I can do with them. They would remain your intellectual property, but I would reserve the right to sell the models at a profit.

WuLongTi suggested people might be interested in building kreons to go along with the contemporary comics series...so, here's some helmets for members of the Lost Light crew...

nice job! Personally, I'd like to see the Alex Milne designs represented but it's nice to see them all together. ^__^

Some more projects I've been working on...

That head is hinged and can be removed and held by a hand, yes? Yes, it can.

Catching up to his brother...

Thwap!

The "Chronobot" has a removable back piece that slips over the neck stem for micro-change action...

(don't try to guess this helmet...I just made it up out of me head...)

I like the original helmet, kinda reminds me of IDW Prowl a bit. Or TFP Smokescreen with the center spike.

Okay, I know nothing about this guy, but he was a request...he also has wings which are not pictured here:

A helmet to go with a set from my last post:

And another original helmet:

The Catch of the Day:

Since snapping that shot, I've modified the Sharkticon to have a lower jaw, and I've created a mace/tail that can be attached to his rear or held in hand.

If you are interested in any of these designs, feel free to PM me.

Two more pieces I've been working on...

And then this...

It looks tiny because of the layout, but it's supposed to be a Megatron Prim fusion cannon. It will have two "muzzles"--one with a 3mm port, and one with a blade, making it like a bayonet.

I'm still tinkering with the interface though. I have a version with a 3mm clip and one with a 3mm peg. I'm also considering attaching it to a custom arm.

by **wulongti** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 6:37 am

those wings look great! I assume they are for dive bomb(?)

I also really dig the fusion cannon. to cut down on parts you could leave a 3mm port in the barrel of the cannon and then have the 3mm post/handle of the sword plug into it. As for how it attaches to the kreon, I would favor a 3mm clip personally. so that the hand can be left empty.

Keep up the good work mate

Yeah, the wings were a request for divebomb (they are modified from my Swoop wing set).

My original approach to the fusion cannon was precisely your thought, but the customer preferred the blade not come directly from the cannon. I tried a bunch of versions with the blade swiveling out from between the cannon and the arm, but the bayonet approach seemed the most practical. It does mean keeping track of the muzzle elements, though.

by **wulongti** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 9:50 am

how about putting a port on the under side of the cannon and 2 posts on the sword? one for a handle and a side one to connect to the cannon? This would allow the sword to also be attached to a normal kreon hip as if sheathed and also attach backward on the cannon so it can swing around like a mini kreon version of Ariel Lemon's fusion cannon

Could you make an Animated Wreck-gar?

Would you prefer that as a full head or just the helmet?

News Credits: 4 · by **MasterSoundBlaster** » Sat Mar 23, 2013 1:05 am

Helmet Preferably.

I finally opened my Kreon Devastator and decided to upgrade some of the heads:

Oh, and I believe MasterSoundBlaster made a request...

PM sent. And I'm always happy to get pictures of printed versions! At some point I'll actually get around to putting them on display...
