Seibertron.com member Venksta's garage kit company Renderform is now accepting orders for the first batch of RF-005 – Nebulous Tempest Upgrade Kits. The set is designed to give Universe Darkwind his own unique look rather than just being a straight repaint of Universe Silverbolt.
Before ordering, please be sure to fully read Venksta's disclaimers about a known QC issue.

I love it. Damn it looks nice. Brings me back to the late eighties when I was gettin too old for toys and I bought some anyway.
Though I will say I like the original face too. The way it's painted actually made him look different than Silverbolt. Still right now I'm holding out until I get my FP fix done.

Out of the loop again! I'm working a RIDICULOUS job right now! If there is to be another btch after Botcon, is there anyway to "pre-order"? I absolutely love this set! I would much rather give my money to Renderform itself, as opposed to someone on Ebay. This is a great set, please keep us posted on another release! PLEASE!

Wow,I checked yesterday evening and this wasn't here, I woke up to check the page this morning first thing to finally find this in the news and come to find out it sold out already.
That's faster than botcon exclusives or even the Hasbro toy shop exclusives. And by exclusives I mean anything labeled generations in their store.
Its too bad... i wanted one.
wish this could have become news before they sold out.
peace.

It says orders stopped !!! I thought he was opening orders up at 630 PST which means 930 EST ??? What happened ??? He changed the time to 630 AM 
Why did he not specify "AM" on his site ??? He forgot that not all people use military time in their daily lives. Try telling a hot chick to meet you at the bar at 1830 and see how far you get.
I hope he takes pre-orders for the next batch. I cant be the only guy who misunderstood the timing.

When I posted this to the front page there were still sets available, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.
This was the first batch, and only 50 were available. The total run is 350 according to the website. So there should be more available at some point, you just need to keep an eye on the Renderform website, as I'm not sure if we will news subsequent releases.

Hey guys. First off, I apologize for my error on the date. It was always meant to be Thursday, May 26th, when the first batch would go up for order. I didn't notice I put 27th down on my website. If you read the previous posts on my website, I made an update on Wednesday, giving a reminder that the first batch would go for sale "tomorrow", which was the 26th. And as I stated, the order page it self went live at 6:30pm PST. I took a couple extra minutes after to fix some wordings in the order page, before posting a new entry in the front page to alert people to the order page going up. There were people who were already trying and successfully placed orders by 6:31 pm PST.
After the fast selling out of the RF-004 kits, I did my best not to repeat that mistake and give people plenty of time to have chances for RF-005. Even though this first chance didn't go too well for some of you, I will still have at least 2 more batches available later on my website for this kit. Plus, I'll have a special version for sale at BotCon. If you want a RF-005 kit, please keep track of the updates on my website. Or better yet, the Renderform facebook page. The next batch will have a one week notice, with a different time and day of the week.
For those who have messaged me, and asked to place an order directly. I will ask that you wait for the next batch. Otherwise, I have to permanently open orders for the rest of the remaining kits. I feel a lot of people would not like that either.

It includes everything the regular set version comes with, with an additional two mini translucent purple guns. Due to my schedule before Botcon, I will only have 40 to 50 sets made. I will have a set amount on me from Friday to Sunday. These are available to anyone, but limited to one per person. If I have extras left on Sunday, people can buy multiples then. You can check out photos below of the two miniguns with the figure.
I would also like to introduce RF-007, a new weapons set, consisting of a sword and shield. I will have a translucent blue version at botcon, in limited numbers. This version is limited to 150 sets. It is also free! I will have around 40-50 sets during friday to sunday. Photos below of the weapons set.
Since the RF-007 set is free, I will put two rules on it’s give away. It will be one per person, during the entire convention. As well, if you buy a RF-005S kit, you will not be eligible for a RF-007 kit. As the extra mini gun for the RF-005S is a bonus itself. So for those that are not interested in a RF-005S, feel free to ask for the RF-007 kit, if you like.
As well, I’ll have a random 2 pack weapons set, with random colored guns for sale, while at botcon. These packs will be $5. Photos below of some of the guns you can expect.
I’ll be hanging around the convention during the weekend, and might be at the parts trading party. I’ll have a black bag with me, with a render of Darkwind on one side, and a “RF” logo on the other. Photos below of that as well, to help spot me.
Also, during this week, I will not be able to reply to messages and emails due to limited internet access. I will catch up on that next week after the convention. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks, and hope to meet you at botcon!

Veneska,I received the RF-05 Darkwing kit in the mail today,this is mastergalvatron by the way.
Wow,This set is just awesome. I'm just floored & really amazed you were able to capture the detail/sculpt of the 1988 dearkwing 2 guns for this RF-05 kit.
The headsculpt you designed for classics/universe Darkwing is just leaps & bounds better than the classics 2.0 Silverbolt head sculpt.
I was looking on your renderform ordering page & noticed you had a kit for the classics 1.0 voyager sized nerf gun megatron toy. the kit had a sword & a ball & chain that looked like the takara japanese walter p-38 gun megatron accessories. was this kit released or is it still in the development process?

It's been done, I don't think it required any mods to either figure. I haven't seen the images in forever though and I don't remember how secure it was. I'll see if I can find them.

It's been done, I don't think it required any mods to either figure. I haven't seen the images in forever though and I don't remember how secure it was. I'll see if I can find them.
and here ya go.............

Last I heard it is still on the back burner. Planned as an unpainted kit.

The whole point behind the 1988 powermasters gimmick. was they transformed into engines that either locked or un-locked the transformation process.
I honestly don't see how creating a power master for universe TRU Darkwing would make any sense. as the powermaster would not be able to lock or un-lock the transformation process.
Also I just don't see any huge holes/gaps where the powermaster could squeeze into to form a engine on universe TRU Darkwing.
I don't think anyone wants to see the doubledealer route. where a fake square box is created to peg into the toy for the powermaster to squeeze into in engine mode. if anyone rembers doubledealer was able to fit the powermaster engine inside his stomach in engine mode. double dealer also came with a light blue square piece that got attached to the long big missles where the engine could squeeze into.
Personally I'd rather do without the powermaster engine for universe TRU Darkwing. I'd prefer to think of UNIVERSE tru darkwing as a pre-powermaster form or a after evoulved form,where he got rid of his powermaster or the powermaster died of old age or whatever.

Maybe Darkwing stepped on him, you know, by mistake. Think about it. You've got gazillion tall robots walking around with 6' 0" humanoids. They're bound to be scrapping fleshbags off their feet at some point.

Which one is it? The former doesn't work me. I have him partered with Botcon Dreadwind. He's neo-G1, so there's that for my end of the fiction in my collection. I'd personally like to see Venksta deliver on this intended part of the kit that was left out of the final product. I'm not bashing him or anything like it. The point was the Master figure was the entire selling point for me. The rest is easily passable for me otherwise.

I don't need it to. It was a planned part of the kit. I like Power Masters, Head Masters, Target Masters, etc.deathy wrote:Also I just don't see any huge holes/gaps where the powermaster could squeeze into to form a engine on universe TRU Darkwing.

I'm well aware of what Doubledealer is, he's one of my favorite TF toys. He's part of the reason I have my tattoos. Yes, I'd be pleased with the "Doubledealer route".deathy wrote:Personally I'd rather do without the powermaster engine for universe TRU Darkwing.

Comparison pic of the upgraded Classics/Universe Darkwing & his G1 counterpart
Didn't realise how closely the lower torso of Classics/Universe Darkwind(g) ressembles that of his G1 counterpart until I took this photo. Seems like HASBRO designed the Classics/Universe Silverbolt figure with the intention to repaint him to Darkwing from the very beginning?....Hmmm...

I got mine a few days ago so he did ship a batch recently. Looks great, especially when next to the G1 figure as pictured above.
