    Does he spit? Deadly spit! WaAHAHAHA :lol 

    Blitzwing moment aside, I must say I love the originality in this project. Detailing him will be fun I think.

    Back to the spitting joke. Where does the camel head end up in bot mode? It's that longish weapon object he's holding on the first picture, amirite?

    This is an interesting question, he's a camel he SHOULD spit! maybe once you got him finished up make him up a new head/neck that has a spitting function in both bot and Camel mode, it would SO funny!

    First off, thanks everyone :) 

    Aye, that's his camel head that becomes his BFG. As for the Spitting option, that makes lots of sense... maybe an Acid spit?
    Thank you very much mate

    again, thanks i truely appreciate the compliment

    Unfortunately, I already finished the head section, so its out of the question, but see the above reply about what type of spit...

    ATM he's finished...the only thing I may do is the infamous Camel-toe option, but i think I can live without it for now. After all, even G1, and beast era TFers are nowhere near accurate on most animal forms they represent, but they are fun :) 

    As previously stated, the design doesn't really fit the bill, for him being a Predacon, as his "organic" parts are more akin to the Maximal Beast machines design philosophy than Beast Wars, and also works for some G1 shapes like the Firecons, and Pretenders etc... so he could be a new Decepticon/Predacon that rose from the events following the events of Beast Machines... just a thought

    Outstanding! I love the power cores in the humps! Of course a TF camel would store energon in his humps!

    Thanks mate.
    I figured if he supposed to be a Survivalist then he should have plenty of power stored (again, one of the reasons I chose a camel...as the humps on real camels essentially do just that) on standby if needed.
