Create Your Own Transformers Holiday Ornaments

Postby First Gen » Fri Nov 21, 2008 2:45 am

Motto: "Til All Are One."
Weapon: Dual Laser Cannon
With the holiday season kicking into full gear, trying to find ways to satisfy that Transformers need while not killing your wallet has been the main focus of many Seibertronians. Here's one way you can get into the holiday spirit without making another trip to the ATM.

With the purchase of a Robot Heroes set, and a couple items I picked up at a local hobby store, I created a Transformers based holiday ornament that wasn't just a figure hanging there. An idea of Seibertron himself, we present Hero Ornaments:

First we start with a set of Robot Heroes figures. Best thing out this is that this can work with any figures from the line, but I picked G1 Sunstreaker and Galvatron to be my test ornaments.

Image
(Note: I tried to mimic Seibertron.com's top notch gallery set up, but it didn't work out so well.)

Next you'll need some additions. I got these Christmas deco's at a Michaels store nearby. I spent about $5.00 USD on it.

Image

Now the building materials. I used a hot glue gun because its fast drying and solid. You can get the same affect with some super glue or other heavy bonding glue, but if you ever want to revert these guys back to regular figs, good luck.

Image

Notice I included the base of the packaging for the two. This will serve as the platform for the ornament. I bonded the bottom and top together to get a sturdier piece.

Next, prep the additions. I couldn't find the Santa hats on their own, so I bought this pack of Santa ornaments and removed them. Bonus is that these came with the hanging string attached, downside was they were also glued on and had to be taken off very carefully.

Image

Now just glue and set. Make sure to see exactly where you want your extras to go prior to placing glue. Like I said before, a hot glue gun or super glue will set pretty fast, so you're gonna have to know where you want what you want before you decide to glue. Let the figures set for about 5 minutes so the glue bonds cure before hanging.

Image

And there you have it. Transformers holiday ornaments that actually look like holiday ornaments.

Image

Image

Happy Holidays Seibertronians!

Seconded; these are seriously impressive, both for the general look and inexpense. If I had any TF buddies around here, I'd be on all over that like the clap on a hooker.

But, since I don't, maybe I'll just make some for myself :P

Any way you slice it, rockin'.

Very nice! A good excuse to buy useless but nice-looking Robot Heroes. The one thing I don't like is the hat covering a lot of their head but that's not too bad and I could always change it up a little if I made my own. I probably will make my own though. We could rip off Mickey Mousimus Prime and copy him. Make Snowmanimus Prime. :|

I hate robot heroes.
These ornaments are a bloody stupid idea.



I might make some myself!

Those are clever. I always used to decorate my tree with Heroes of Cybertron figures. I didn't fancy them up at all, just placed them on the tree straddling branches. The best part was my wife (my girlfriend at the time) thought it was a pretty cute idea.

Pretty cool idea! Last year I had some small Japanese non-transforming items and a WST Megatron on my tree.
