Universe Blaster Upgrades By Renderform- Painted Samples

Garage Kit gurus, Renderform, have added a little something new to the website as of last week.

This up and coming kit making fan first hit it big with the visor, helmet, and rifle upgrades for Universe Skyfall to make him look even more like his inspiration, Skyjack of G2 fame. Called the RF-002 Empyrean Espionage Upgrade Kit, Mkall reviewed the early offering here.

Now RENDERFORM looks to hit one out of the park with this new set which will add some shine to your Universe Blaster. Shine, and Pazzaz!

The RF-003 Kit will upgrade your Universe Blaster in a few ways: a new original head based on his more Classic look (no Soundwave head repaint here), amd a rifle that should leave no one guessing as to the only bot it could belong to, the perfect weapon to battle Soundwave's smooth grooves with.

Check out some teaser images below, and even more pics at Venksta's website, Renderform.com.

I like it. The head is a big improvement and that gun could only be Blaster's. The guitar is a nice touch too - cool.

I won't be buying it as I don't have Classics Blaster (it really looks nothing like him except for the paint job so I gave him a miss) but great news for anyone who has him!

I'm really hoping that they make a new version of Classics Blaster (that actually bares some resemblance to him) as he's crying out to be a new Voyager sized figure, especially with all the movie related releases at the moment but the SDCC reissue is probably all we'll be getting... :sad:

I bought Transformers Collection Blaster last year and have the Encore Cassettes so there was no point in buying it although that amazing packaging almost persuaded me to buy the SDCC one and sell the TFC one. :-?

I got rid of my universe Blaster as soon as the Music Label one showed up. The only thing I want from this set is the gun

Well, there are 2 different helmets. G1 and Cybertron style. And then 3 different faces. :)

I'll be selling a dark gray version of the gun alone, for those who want to use it with DL Blaster. The black version will remain exclusive to the upgrade sets.

Glad to hear you'll be selling the gun by itself. My DL Blaster could use a weapon of his own.

While I'm not a fan of the base mold, so I have no need for this upgrade, I'd recommend Venksta's stuff to anyone.

I have the Skyjack upgrade, and I love it!

Those are great molds, but I just don't like the look of the head on the bod. As much as Cyb Soundwave isn't Blaster, the heads just don't fit the asthetic for me.

Hm, looks like he's getting two new head molds. Interesting that they are throwing in a guitar, pretty awesome.

Anybody willing to offer up a guess as to whether or not that gun would fit the hands of Device Label Blaster?

Dark Grey plus model paint = black :)
Is there a link to preorder it?

You have to PM Venksta so he can put you on a wait list. This is truly a small time op, and being so, there are not pre-orders, or order pages, etc., but you do get a hell of a product, and great customer service.
