    Finished Update on pg 3
    This is my first attempt to a real gestalt (Traitor might technically my first, as he is a duocon-type). This Tripredicus is supposed to be a Cybertronian version of the team; So they do transform into their arthropod alt-modes, but like the G1 Insecticons, they are implied arthropods, not exact.
    Here are their individual forms. The combined form will be up soon :) 
    Enjoy mates:

    I love it so far and look forward to seeing combined mode and how it looks painted. Only gripe would be how cicada dude's arms look a bit disconnected at the forearm.

    Inspired. I will be amazed if you can make a good combined mode with these without a lot of extra parts.

    Awesome idea, can't wait to see the final version. I got a version of this on the back burner, but they don't combine.

    This. There is so much cool going on right here that I hope isn't ruined by Unicron or Constructbots parts.

    Finally got a chance to look at this more closely. You are amazing in your ability to come up with some crafty shit from what seems to be completely random parts. Can't wait to see how this ends.

    Thanks everyone! Very much appreciated mates!
    Now on to business:
    Here's the main combined mode, just need his head :) 
    I opted for a very BW homage combined mode with some G1 added in (meaning the limbs are all different bots ala G1, but he has very minimal extra parts like the BW version).
    Stay tuned for my next update with his head :) 
    Enjoy:
