EDIT: dumping original first post here, real first post will be continuously updated with new stuff.
This all started with two things - staring at the little cab from Optimash Prime and seeing Spurt Reynold's Dinotitan. I have been on a combiner kick, and an Animated one as well. I wanted to do something different, so when i started thinking about Motormaster, i didn't want to start from another truck bot.
Ani-MM is designed to include parts from Grimlock, Bulkhead, a little bit of Ratchet, and some Activators Optimus. I will be preparing him for combination, but right now i just want to get him done. The other four Stunticons won't be such heavy bashes, but I just wanted to get to work on what i felt would be the most unique of the group, and also would give me the biggest learning curve, as this is my very first heavy bash.
Enjoy!
first thing i did was remove Bulkhead's forearms, and hollow them out. Then i removed Ratchet's forearms, cut off the flip out magnets, and grinded it down into a thinner shape. then put them back together. A couple errors with a hot knife, but i'll be able to putty them out.
then i put them back on the bicep/shoulder area.
I had removed the outer torso on grimlock, and put 3 notches on each side to accomodate the attachment of the bulkhead arms.
Then i put matching holes on the hinge from bulkhead's arms and in grimlock's back.
that gave me a swivel option for the transformation, which made all the difference in the world.
I gotta get to work, so i will post the rest tonight.
Comments and crits welcome.
