    just a worded update today......

    i found my missing dynobot crew, which is a mostly good/kinda bad situation since i used swoop for nexus.......so now i plan on making one from a mirage mold. i also changed the combined mode's head into the menasor variation to resemble grimstone.....

    i might have to cancel the head on scratch, due to the lack of funds to even buy a ratchet head off shapeways.......anyone willing to donate a cw ironhide head?

    just finished the first component for grand scourge...mudslinger...gonna have a backstory joke to go with him.....

    lastly, i'm going multiverse broadside with that WIP. going on the backburner until i can shapeways the head.....i want it to replace unicron's face, and keep the light up features for the transparent lense. i think that'll be awesome....

    new update with pics!!!!
    could never afford CW/UW ratchet, so i made my own. his head wil be temporary....will be getting steamshield's head after getting the upcoming boxsets
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    next are the dinobots that i found! first is scorn...
    "the last dynobot uncovered by clobber with a 400 year gap since being frozen,scorn's flamethrowers now freeze everything instead of burn....which makes him madder......"
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    next is dynobot slips...
    "definitely the sneakiest dynobot, he can infiltrate any facility with no problem.after being frozen, he's gotten more talkative....i guess he couldn't handle being alone for that long...."
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    stasher is the next one!
    "stasher's name fits him perfectly,he loves to take weapons from those he defeats and put them in his "loot stash".....its actually a giant cave back on cybertron....he wasn't happy to hear swindle found the cave...."
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    ...and now, the new head of clobber's combined mode, grimstone max....
    [​IMG]
    grand scourge's green truck, mudslinger is ready!
    "mudslinger hates prime.....no reason, just does....so when GS arrived and killed his world's prime,he decided to tag along. it wasn't long until he suggested finding others to combine with, to deal with foes like omega supreme and even metroplex if they showed up....."
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    and lastly, ironfist...head not included for now....still drying,so no vehicle mode...
    [​IMG]

    another update!!!!! wreck'n'rule edition!!!!
    a quick shout out to CowboyNinjaD for finding this fanmode for broadside!
    [​IMG]
    fist is ironfist WITH head! (love the khaki color)
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    now a blurry temporary topspin
    [​IMG]
    and remember that thundercracker head? its for threnody now
    [​IMG]
    next is pyro,(forgot vehicle mode) acting as the main torso component for....
    [​IMG]
    "ruination awaken" lol
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    i can't decide who i want to be the torso component....
    the junkion wreck gar....
    [​IMG]
    or the autobot overdrive
    [​IMG]
    wreck gar keeps the orange color from the FOC version, but overdrive's matches better......
    lastly, i wanted to show that the legends groove mold can go on the shockwave mold.....
    [​IMG]
    so can the megatron/warpath head,but it needs thickening on the bottom for a snuggly lock
    [​IMG]

    thats it for now! please feel free to comment!

    another worded update....

    so i decided to go with wreck-gar for ruination, but since i set up grand scourge with the g2 stunticons (i remember someone renaming them "thundercons" or something in the CW thread) i've bounded to it, and thus ditching the GS limbs for now, and changing mudslinger....to represent hoist!

    also, i do plan on making twin twist from brawl and rotorstorm from a coptor mold for ruination, replecing threnody and marvelbot. twin twist will be more like his FOC incarnation,with the drills being on his weapon....but in this case, DRILL KNUCKLES!!!! something i wanted from the original version....

    thats it for now....

    Wow, everything is looking really good. Especially liking Ironfist and Pyro, they look great. Can't wait to see what else you have in store.

    (P.S.: DRILL KNUCKLES?!?!)

    another update!

    first up, undertow! i glued lego parts on him, and filled the gaps with lazerbond
    "undertow was always considered himself just another useless decepticon minion, but ever since joining grand scourge's cause, he feels much better, but only when beating the crap out of vairous matrix holders...he does get sidetracked whenever powerglide shows up, of whom he Hates with a capital h....."
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    now evil autobot SG steelshot
    "while most of his universal incarnations are great longrange shooters, SG steelshot prefers upclose and personal. he loves the feeling of innocent body parts ripping in his hands. joining grand scourge allows him to do that to a much greater compacity, even to combiners"
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    next is an alternate head for broadside, mask from lazerbond with a bit of bad cutting....(thanks to CowboyNinjaD again)
    [​IMG]

    now for another survivor from the old thread.....shuttle blast off!
    [​IMG]
    and is doppleganger to compare
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    this is how i do his arm mode now
    [​IMG]
    and lastly, topspin's visor using lazerbond
    [​IMG]

    thats it this time!

    Drill knuckles!!! Love the silver on Superion's chestplate. Impactor works surprisingly well from Blitzwing. Weird.

    thank you! i can't wait to see your version!

    thanks! the silver is the silver sharpie i recently found in a tote. in case it wasn't obvious, the chest is PE g2, but it started to chip, i only wanted a small bit, but i got curious. i used the chest from scattershot/betatron instead of silverbolt's for obvious reasons.

    as for impactor, the inspiration came from this....
    Ultra Impactor Bio by Tf-SeedsOfDeception on DeviantArt
    ..and getting the head on was a pain, since its intended for the roadbuster mold. i had to cut the port from a junked foc grimlock, and glue it to the slide thing.

    an EXTREMELY depressing update.....

    so i'm quiting the full customs projects. i just checked them and they all are deteriorating.....the only ones that are safe from what i saw is sideswipe and ratchet aside from the partswapped/very minor customs. i have no idea why....i cleaned them perfectly, i painted in small layers, i protected it in future (unless its the wrong brand.....)

    i'm gonna put them on the selling page tomorrow in hopes a good customizer can fix them....
