    IS it possible to have a little thing to store the bits not used in alt mode for WST magnus? maybe a tiny companion cube to put in the front of the trailer? or something else?

    I think this would be relatively a straightforward and widely desirable design to produce. I drew a quick-and-dirty picture to illustrate what I'm thinking.

    [​IMG]

    Draft a single wedge piece with a hinge, and then a half-ring with an accompanying six slots to accommodate the hinge. Print out a dozen wedges and four half-rings in orange plastic. Sandwich six of the wedge hinges between two half-rings and repeat for the remaining pieces. You end up with the two halves of an articulated maw for any of the big Unicron figures; ready to affix (whether with glue, pins or screws) to the figure's split planet shell.

    Is anyone up for making this set?

    Anyone willing to bend some copying rules? Im in search of some alternatives to the FOC Voyager 'Wave/ Blaster minions?! I cant stand the desicion to make them automorph! And badly at that! Can anyone make some appropriatly sized Kamen Rider Hibiki disk animals that fit in 'Wave and co.? Besides without the automorph garbage and making the disks thin enough, you could possibly fit all the minions in 'Wave chest!

    Kinda, the thuggers are more bot mode accuracy than alt mode, im looking the other way! More cd then a bot doing yoga! Besides he's plenty busy already, and there are other great 3d.modelers on here!

    can't believe that no one has done the hand held shields from the BW Axalon. Like in the robot masters/ Telemocha size. It'd probably be in scale with the tm1 primal as well.

    One thing I'd like to see is a more toon accurate head for Generations Warpath. I've never warmed to the stock head.

    some kind of bracket that would take advantage of the peg holes on classics astrotrain's wings to allow it to be used as an arm for an energon clmbiner. Using the hole and fitting to the shape of his wing. That way people can't afford fansproject explorer have a back up. If this has been done I haven't seen it

    Strika Upgrade/Kit Idea

    Not sure if possible. But, on any potential redeco of Gen. Warpath it'd be cool if a new turret and connector was made where the turret could detach from chest and be held as hand gun or attached as shoulder rocket...so the figures wouldn't suffer from having Warpath gun chest...kaplow!...this would be more important if we ever got the Gutcruncher redeco we deserve...or the rumoured Hardhead redeco...

    Can anybody come up with a replacement for Ripclaws rubber tail interour? I have dought in its "longevity". Something hexagonal in shape, maybe have it expand in the middle ( to allow for simular possibility as present) but still have ball jointed attatchment points, something modular (maybe only three/four differnt designed parts reused) this will keep ripclaws look , and allow for stiff tail positioning!



    Speaking of Ripclaw....this is more of a side thought really... anybody mind considering, a more femining head/face interiour for her?! The dragonesq face cowl can remain but just cover a new sub-face with lips and eyes, allowing it to be printed in clear would be awesome too!

    I'm still hoping that one of our fine Shapeways artists will produce the articulated Unicron maw that I'm hungering for.

    someone should design wings for HTFD Highbrow's mold, make them fit over the tiny wings he already has by using the peg hole they have, then mount the guns he has on the underside to help balance out the wings so you don't have to move the screws.

    it'd be great to do so all versions of the mold have actually useful wings, instead of these tiny rudders, hell, they could detach for robot mode and make a melee weapon of some form if the length of the p38's wings is too much for robot mode.





    it could be nice if someone would do some good seeker heads for the impossible toys tetrajet molds if they come out with the butterfaces they had in vange1us's review and maybe it'd also be nice to have some "shoes" for the alternity GT megatron figure, so he could be a little taller than optimus and also have more megatron-esque feet.

    (retools optional)
