The Energon Pub

Please post all those design sketches and/or WIP pics here.

Archsnipe robotmode mockup photo. colors will change, as will the pic.I suck at digibashing anyways.

If you can pull that off Blackarachnis it will look so awesome. I'll be amazed if you can, it's a lot of work!

I already have it worked out Dev, I should be able to do it.

Alt mode concept stuff, proving that I stink at drawing! Robot mode stuff coming as soon as I figure out where I put the sketches.

Anyways. As you can see, some sort of bastard child of a BM tank drone and F1 racer. Final colours are going to be greens and probably black, with some tan accents. The round thing on the front is a spark crystal, and the thing in front of it is supposed to resemble an engine. Final size is about half a centimeter longer than Energon Hotshot.

Here's a WIP sketch of my profile/box image for Piledriver. It still needs a few more details and a bit of tidying up, but it's getting there.

Here's a pic I drew a few weeks ago. Sorry it's based on an Earth vehicle. I didn't see the thread that mentioned "no Earthen vehicles". I am also weorking on another custom that might also work in this series. Details later

Just for anyone who's been wondering what she looks like, here's the design for Shuriken (after much alteration it turns out I won't be needing an F117 kit after all)...

Deszaras X sent me this WIP pic of his character Landbreaker, looks wonderful to me so far :

that is sweet!

woosh! Thats pretty cool if ya ask me
I like what he did with his arms, legs.. front.. heh, no man that thing kicks ass!

btw, is that the 'official' catalog style you are aiming at ? Looks cool!!

Landbreaker is sweet, I hadn't recognized Bendy Prime at first (means that is a great Bash )

No idea what it'll become

He made the background himself, but I've asked him if we can use it for the catalog; I think it looks pretty cool, and he said he has it stored so we may be using this or something very similar .

WOW

Landbreaker rocks!

I really like the background font, just like selling figures:D

woow

landbreaker will definately be a fun one to draw

Indeed. *Edits script to include Landbreaker *

wow, I can't even tell how his arms transform, and where his feet go, and where that head comes from. That thing is just freakin' sweet. I want a gallery NOW. Lots of mid transformation pictures.

Finally managed to get a pic of Whirlwind, by the way the tan color is the original color of the bootleg Highbrow I'm using as base figure, I think I'll add a lot of black and some yellow/gold to the color scheme.

Also got a pic of my micron trio alt modes, they are Ultor, the missile launcher (haven't done anything to him yet, this is how the bootleg figure actually is) he'll attach to Whirlwind's shoulder, Archelon becomes a shield for him, and Aegis becomes a pistol for Whirlwind. The three also combine to form an anti aircraft vehicle.

Got the basic colorscheme for Deceptor up, made in paint to get an idea. I rather like those colors, it gives him a dark feel, almost like a fallen priest (you know, "evil" bloodred and gold instead of "good" bright red and yellow)

alright disredard any previous images of the legionair. There are two many problems with the figure to remake it the way i wanted and still be transformable.

I have come up with a new design I think will be superior to the previous one.

The new legionair will be made from a battle ravage (torso), starscream (arms) and beast machines strom jet (legs). and the weapons will be modified from those of tredshot's. Th head will most likelly be a moded GM head as origionally planed.

I'll try to post some design sketches at lunch

Okay here we are. this one should be simpler to build cause there's little to no scratch building.

The cat head from ravage is being replaced with a jet engine (probably off a g1 jet) and will become the rear of the vehicle mode. The two weapons will fold out into wings/guns and hook into the same slots where ravages launchers plugged in. The arms will fold up on the side and the legs will close in front like Storm jets hover mode.

The weapon is very very very versatile. It trans forms into a sword, rifle, shield (when attached to handle-may mold handle onto oneof the swords instead) and it transforms into the wings for flight modes.

robot mode - flight-
jets fold out of shins and has jet on back for steering and propulsion. gun/wings optional.

Sorry for the crudeness of the sketch. It's all from memory and concepts from my head. enjoy.

The arms/shoulders from SS are perfect for him, great thinking!
Have you started yet?

Ha! that's funny. I can't even find time to finish rumble.

no I've been contemplating the design and how it would wrok all morning. I need to figure out where I'm going to get a set of the legs though. haven't see a skywarp in a while. I have a jetstrom but i don't want to amputate his legs cause he's my only one. I'm going to try and find my brothers. all his tfs are in pieces anyway (the reason i stoped buying them for him)

Loving that new Legionair Lord Loqi

Shuriken's coming along nicely although her design has altered slightly from the sketch above (uncanny how a design sketch never survives contact with reality, isn't it?) - mainly, I've ditched the rear wings and changed the shape of the cockpit windows. I only have to build the back of the aircraft and I can move onto painting her.

...And speaking of painting her, I did her head just so I'd have a nice teaser image to put in this post...



...pretty little thing isn't she?
