    I've seen TCracker post pics of his on the CW Boards. Never said what they were from but think it is MP Soundwave's.

    Just be careful with these. I bout the replacement antenna and as soon as I got them, I wanted to sand them so it wouldn't look so grainy. As soon as I started sanding, they snapped. I ended up getting replacements from ebay for less money and better material.

    Sorry to hear that, but i ve not experience this and no other ve report the part is too thin. i guess you could contact Shapeways if the model printed under diameter.

    Moreover, i usually sanding small part by hand rather than any sanding machine. WFS is elastic material, it should bend before you break it. If this is your case, suggest that you try sanding by hand.

    Anyway, Thx for your report, i will record your case.


    You mean an add-on or substitute? i ve checked, the wings are pinned thus it cannot simply replace.

    The part that folds back in robot mode isn't. Just pops right out. Though that would be more wing and a part of the plane you would have to make.

    I had the idea to turn the off-road mold into the battle changers but there are no heads for it

    Since there is lots of former doing such on CW series, i will restart my works on CW & focus on developing weapons. Please stay tune or throw your idea of weapons you need on CW figures. Thx.

    (Little spoil, weapon for recently Autobots is coming soon)

    I would personally like to see someone build either a full lower leg piece and ankle tilt foot, for Constructicon Long Haul, similar to what he already has, but that would actually extend his lower legs and eliminate his looking like a sumo bot. I've looked at them and found that there are at least 2 ways to effectively make this work without damaging the figure.
    1) Build an attachment piece for each leg that would simply snap right into the front of his leg as if forming the legs and thighs of Devastator, but instead of attaching Scrapper or Mixmaster, we could simply attach the new foot pieces. (For additional sizing information see next idea for some detail. )
    2) As with the previous idea, build "shin" and foot connector plates for each leg designed in such a way that the backside will snap into place on the front of the leg, and the front of the plate would allow the fist/missile pieces to attach to form the shins of each leg, with a foot piece that folds under them to form proper feet and extended legs for Long Haul...preferably with ankle tilt.

    The fist/missile pieces are the perfect size to extend his legs and create a real brute look to him instead of the goofy sumo look he has now. That small increase will put him at a Leader class size (which is what he really is anyway), and really makes a huge difference in his overall look. I folded his back leg pieces down and propped him on the missile launch pieces earlier, and it looks great, as long as you don't mind him having black feet and lower legs (or purple if you paint them). Honestly, I'd prefer keeping them with the green look, but I'd settle for whichever version could be done to make Long Haul look more respectable in bot mode...plus with the other 2 upgrade kits coming out, not to mention the Takara version, they pretty much resolve most of the other issues, including their individual G1 style guns, removing the need for the missile launchers from any real use as bot mode weapons...they are kind of ridiculous anyway actually.

    I don't have the time for a precision hand build, or I'd make those pieces myself. The only thing I haven't figured out, is where they could store in alt mode and how they might benefit the Devastator gestalt...?

    Thoughts or input?

    Ebay:
    How about plates to cover and strengthen the thighs on Hotspot so his legs can be extended to give Defensor added height?

    Wow, what a detail & thorough thought. A simply joint should work things out.

    My SDCC Devastator is not in hand yet, thus i would really appreciate & would definitely he if you could take some pics.

    Moreover, i don't know about an add-on on an add-on kit. how you guys think? Coz i really want to anyone could benefit with my work either they ve or ve not the PE/ Dr.Wu upgrades.


    A good one since there is no one on doing with Defensor, like he has been forgotten. Write it down.


    Definitely, after my deluxe matrix, sigma key & so, this would be cool gadgets for the idw or CW series. Thx.

    i might post it in my idw page, so please make sure you check that thread: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/creat...000518-idw-project-development-shapeways.html

    04 Sep update:
    Hi everyone, as i said that i will focus on weapon developing. Here is the first wave of weapon upgrades which is for the new white Optimus
    & his fellows, Ironhide, Mirage & Sunstreaker.

    All weapons design in G1 way. And with all weapons in your hand(which means with their original weapon along with my upgrades) could combine into a huge firepower for your Optimus Maximus.

    [​IMG]

    Moreover, the upgrade for Optimus is not like the others, it is an add-on to his original rifle. i would like to share more with you when i get my test pieces. Thx.

    i have been just release it. There are 2 version with slightly detail differences, please find the one suit you. Thx.

    I don't know if someone have this idea before, well my idea for an upgrade for a CW figure is a new crotch plate for CW leader class megatron that can allow megatron's legs to move forwards much more than the original one that keep a limited range of move
