In relation to the throne of primes comment yesterday, I have access to a high quality printer that can print directly on sheet styrene or metal. I'd be interested in running a print or two if you'd like.
Hi, I put a link in your thread to a video of the show online that shows the sword in the actual show - I think there's a episode where Optimus and Megatron have one each and I don't know if the extending arms are featured or not later. But as you can see in that link and pics I added the sword in the show is clearly inspired by the kids role play toy energon sword.
Oh nice what scale did you go with ? Looking at the render it made me realise something i'd not noticed before which is how similar the Energon Role Play toy is to the DOTM role play sword. (design wise) Oh and a lot of people seem keen on leg cannons for Perfect Effect's warden if your interested in that at all. I suspect extra interest in that would be gained if the guns also helped support the main cannon in tank mode better too.
My 1st interest would be a Voyager Lio Convoy scale "Convoy Cannon" (see the one that comes with Robotmaster Lio Convoy) and the Energon Saber design for Energon /Superlink Megatron. I think both were shown on the cartoon and both had retail toys as kids RPG items so the reference material should be doable I guess. and someone has already made the sword only it was very expensive. I'll wrack my brains and see if anything else springs to mind at all.
Even though I haven't the funds to order one at the moment, I felt you deserved the props in the upcoming Swerve thread so people with money can buy from you. And no, you didn't sound shill'y. :D
Very cool! I hope people make a good discussion out of it. I think it will be a great starter resource. Feel free to make anything like that. I'll be glad to source it!
Yeah man, same here. It was a fun. You guys were a lifesaver with the water! Really appreciate it bunches!!
Hey I didn't forget your comment on my box tutorial! Post away about it in this thread in Toy Discussion: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/953796-modern-box-archival-cleaner-solution-less-trashy.html
