Hello everyone. Here is my finished WFC Soundwave with Laserbeak, Ravage, Ratbat, Rumble and Frenzy. The minions have their own unique alt. modes and all the pink/purple highlights are black light activated. Unfortunately, the bright glow of the accent lines will not show up in either of my cameras. I used the Thugger 3.0 design by Fakebuster on Shapeways but went ahead and molded, sanded and cast them in a harder plastic resin. I also put together a video detailing the 6 'cons and showed some before and after pics, so please check it out:

Hope you guys like 'em:

Thanks man, I've considered attempting it, but RTV molds are a pain with something this small. I'm glad you like 'em.

No Dude, seriously, in the future, you totally should! I know stuff like this is hard, but WFC Toys are lacking. you know how much cash you could make? I'm not saying Ravage and Ratbat so much as Frenzy and Rumble, but still, like, $45.00 A pop for a frenzy or rumble, you'd hall in buisiness like no tommaro! I do like your Ravage and Ratbat BTW, but the look even harder that Frenzy or rumble, plus, they werent in the game.
Do frenzy and rumble fit inside his chest compartment? Laserbeak is freekin win too

Go ahead and check out the video good sir. It has clips of the transformation and construction phases. The Rumble and Frenzy are not my design to produce. They do fit in the chest compartment and are really awesome for such tiny figures.

Wow, those.... There are no words to describe how good those all look, especially for how small Frenzy and Rumble are. I'm serious, if you ever decide to sell them, drop me a line.

I'm madly in love with the Frenzy/Rumble figures! What did you use? :???:

I am absolutely interested in having a set of those. Oh heck yeah.

As usual your work is amazing. I've considered ordering a set of thuggers from Shapeways, just never have pulled the trigger.

News Credits: 251 · Fri Aug 26, 2011 2:55 am

Seriously, how was Frenzy and Rumble made? Fan-freaking-tastic! :APPLAUSE:

You're wrong :-$

Rumble had a huge role as part of Soundwave's bossfight in the War For Cybertron game,he even had his own line "Get ready to crumble before Rumble."

You're correct, matter of fact, my wife considers that to be the best portion of the entire game, aswell was laserbeak:

Those are awesome, I particularly like the Laserbeak, he's a cool little guy.

For all those wanting to know what he used for Rumble and Frenzy and how to get them:
For the robots:

For the pile divers:

You'll have to buy two of each and paint and assembly them yourself though.

Thanks for the links Dead Metal, I included the username, design title and website at the top of this gallery, but this certainly makes it faster. As a side not to those interested, I had extra joints to use for the guns, by Fakebusters design, the guns/piledrivers in the thugger 3.0 set clip into the cross sections found on the back and arms. They are certainly top notch designs!
