I'm cataloging my FM upgrades here. First up, two adapters for that near useless tank/gun block - one that allows it to plug in as a tower when Cerebros is removed, and another that not only replaces the missing radar dish, but also allows the block to be mounted as a pivoting cannon instead. Neither adapter interferes with normal use - but you do have to remove the radar to make it into a "tank" (obviously). More to come - new transforming hands with the missing hand guns added (upgraded from my Metroplex ones), and ramp ends for the two white runways. Comments and suggestions welcome - and yes, I will be selling these.
have you thought about some kind of connector piece or anything to make that fan city mode (where the legs are folded up like the towers on the G1 figure) more solid and less floppy?
Do you think you could make a Cog? It's the 2 vehicles that combine into a robot. Also little mounted weapons or like satellite dishes to make him look HUGE
I was planning on designing one to go with my G1, but some 3rd party was talking about it...theirs would be better by far. As for the guns and bits, the ones that came with the 3rd party head for Metroplex would work. Hopefully they get re-released sans head.
If you're not already considering it, may I suggest a Legend-or-Titanmaster scale (depending on optimum size for it storing in the leg without interfering with transformation) red 'Jail Cell' for one of the inner leg sections and/or deployable internal floor sections for the leg towers of the city fanmode?
Hand is complete, working on finding a darker blue to match, might go with black. Just like the Metroplex hands, with added guns and a different way to attach. Pull the pins off the old hands, and this one snaps on. As a gun battery, it looks pretty sweet if I say so myself. Looks like an anti-air battery protecting the runway. I'm still trying to work out a ramp that can be swiveled and positioned off center to not impede the new hand guns. I've had no luck making the fan mode stable. It would take huge chunks to make it happen that I'm not really interested in making.
I've REALLY liked everything you've done ever since you got that 3D printer. This is yet another example of excellence from you. My hat's off to you, man
Have you got any plans to make a decent gun for cerebros. For example, printing the g1 cerebros' gun and sword. And maybe reprinted arms for titan/headmasters so that the headmasters can have elbow articulation and maybe even hold miniature weapons? And maybe a master sword for those who can't get the sdcc or hong kong exclusive master sword.? Just a couple of suggestions. The reprinted arms for the head would be easy to put on. Just pop the old arms off the ball joints and put the new arms in. Again, just some suggestions. I mean , I would buy new arms for the titan masters immediately if u made them with elbow articulation and miniature weapons. P.S. any plans for upgrade pieces for g1 powermaster optimus prime and apex bomber/god ginrai and godbomber. Coz I would love to have a pmop with additional articulation. I would immediately buy an upgrade set. Thanks. Plz reply. Sorry for long comment.
Hi would the metroplex knee replacement parts work on fort max? Just wondering, probably won't really need to use them but just wondering. ☺
The knees work, but they don't really add much. If fan mode was stable they would be a good thing. No plans on that other stuff, sorry. I'm really liking the new guns on the back of his hands, but they look so piddly in robot mode. I might make some major changes that will allow them to be much bigger.
For the back of the hand guns why dont you make the guns removable, so that instead of being part of the hand they become a part that plugs into the hand, this would allow them to be bigger and then be usable in fortress mode? Also, any plans for some hip guns? Something that can attach to the side of the hips and wraps around to the front? Then they become new towers or even more guns? That would be great.
Hi. Yeah I think the back of hand guns are a bit small in robot mode. Maybe add some detailing to the hand and guns as well? And yeah waist cannons. Really hope somebody make an powermaster optimus prime and apex bomber upgrade kit soon. Really want good articulation for my PMOP. He's a bit of a brick at the moment. I've painted him so he looks better but I don't have the means or resources to make him more articulated.
If you only work with stuff you've got then I can send u as many measurements of PMOP as u want. Becoz I really want good articulation for my PMOP. So if u do decide to do an upgrade kit for pmop and apex bomber I will pay lots to have decent articulation on pmop
I've redesigned the whole top of the hand to allow bigger, better guns. Pics as soon as I get them printed in proper colors. I'm working on getting some details on the sides of the hands, they're too plain. The whole design needs more detail.
