Transtopia Masterclass - Life-Size Generation One Ravage

man just the briefcase alone is amazing. and the fact that it can transform is freaking awesome. simply awesome!!!!!!!

Words fail me. It's like, why wasn't some ingenious manufacturer making this instead of My-Size-Barbie and that Transforming Big-Wheel when I was 6? Well, because it still wouldn't have been a half as awesome as this. The briefcase is unique, but clearly evokes that time in Day of the Machines when Megatron showed up in a guitar case.

And you only started on this in February? Well, I can't wait to see what else you've pulled off by the end of the year!

Aw! He's so cute.

Thanks for your kind words, i started thinking about ravage in jan of this year, i wanted a smaller project than prime, but one that would challege me too, i actually started late jan, early feb, so the whole process has been about 4 ish months, it was a challenge at times, bringing ravage up to date, but as the decepticons like to use the humans, and cassettes were no longer an option,i thought the case mode worked perfect, i never repeat my work, as a) it becomes boring, and b) it keeps each piece i do, unique,fresh and one off pieces.

My only criticism is that the teeth are white, and really long, and attract the eye way more than (I think) they should compared to the rest of this amazing piece. But please understand, I could never do this ever, and so my crit means nothing and it should be tempered and based on whether you are happy with how it turned out or not.

Steeljaw next?

mmmm, i tough long and hard about the teeth, i felt having only 4 teeth,like the cartoon didnt give ravage the fear factor, by adding the extra smaller ones, it gives him a little more bite!!!!
mmm not sure whats next, got some ideas floating around, either way, im sure i'll be busy!! lol!!!
thanks for the comments and support

thank you very much, i often get asked about a full scale sound wave, it would be awesome, but i think a big grimlock would be kind of cool too,

Certainly shocked out of words. Great, great work. Just Great.

I really like how the briefcase was executed, but I feel like Ravage can't stand. Not that I'm being critical, but can it stand?
