    actually I do. I shrank the launchers down just a tad to give more head room for Wheeljack and beefed up the clip to provide better support for the launcher. Both the Cartoon and Toy inspired launchers are now available in my Shapeways shop under 'Wheeljacked' if you're doing a search. :thumbs2: 


    Good idea. I should be able to put something together relatively soon.

    Now available in both 4mm and 5mm peg styles. 4mm Peg is what you want for the brothers shoulder holes. Just search for "Wheeljacked" and they should come up.

    I will say, (my disclaimer) normally before I release anything on Shapeways I always get a prototype to ensure all my designs are functional. This is the one time I did not. But I'm pretty positive it should work. I just dont like my buyers to feel like they wasted their money on my designs due to my own mistakes. Enjoy.

    I should also have some more stuff to show next week. ;)

    Thanks for both doing this so quickly, and for your disclaimer.
    i think i will start of with a couple, for sideswipe & sunstraker.
    And if their quality is up to your usual, then i will go order the other 6 i need.

    :D 

    (your shape way page has already been added to my favorites a while back)

    actually, i was looking at my classics Transformers collection.
    and i remembered that animated Arcee had a design flaw (i keep her with them).
    Where her thumbs snapped if you used the swords she came with.

    and i was always trying to think of a way to redesign her hands to avoid this.
    but the i realized the flaw was not with the thumbs, but with the swords.

    if the swords had a normal 5mm peg (like in your designs) instead of the fancy design hasbro went with. then placing her swords in her hands would cause no stress to the figure.

    Also the swords are supposed to go into her shoulder back packs when not in use (such as in car mode), but they always fall out.

    so how about designing new swords for animated arcee, with a standard 5mm peg, and slightly redesigned blades, so they properly fit in their designed storage area?

    also how about giving her a shield, designed so that can clip into the gap on her tail end in car mode (as to better hide her hands & head). i think if designed correctly, her hand can still grab the 5mm peg even in car mode, to allow it to be held in place.

    these just some ideas, i thought i would bounce off you.
    see what you thought of them.

    Interesting idea. I'll add it to my list of things considering I want to get more melee weapons out. ;)

    Seekers, Seekers, Seekers

    The Seeker Bombs and Seeker Cluster Cannons have been done for awhile but I had trouble with the Seeker Rifle until now. I wanted to show them all at the same time so here they are. All were inspired by the toy representatives of the various Seeker weapons.

    :D

    In terms of scale arent Alts close to Voyager size? I can explore weapons for Alts idea but designing stuff for that size class gets a tad pricey =P

    Also, it's been awhile since I've busted out my Alts but even still, I don't recall them having a "standard" hand size/grip. Or did they?

    Well of the 8 alternators I have all the hands seems to be pretty much the same size even though they range in height from 6.5 to 7.25 inches tall.

    What kind of price range do you think something of that size would be from shapeways?

    thanks - the original datsun v1 gun (forgot what was the issues with v2 hence why there's a v3 =) was the 2nd weapon I ever designed and put into Shapeways. Lambo was the first.


    Sad to say but I've never played WFC. I did see some images of upcoming weapons for the sequel and that did get some creative juices flowing. So I'm sure something will come down the pipeline in terms of inspired WFC weapons. =)

    The Assailment gun is just under $14 (WSF). It's a big gun that I feel fits well with Onslaught. Then again, I am biased. ;)  I'd have to imagine most of the rifles that I've made for the various deluxe sized Classics would look like pistols in the hands of any of the Alts. If I can figure out a "standard" pistol grip size for the Alts it would be pretty easy to swap that in on any of my current designs.

    Sword, dagger and shield

    Keep on forgetting to show these guys ...

    Generic sword (not an Arcee specific sword as it shares the same basic design of the KaPow sword), a dagger (stab, stab, stab) and a revised OpTop that can turn into a shield.

    Running, Running with swords

    With the recent TFCC announcement of their 2012 exclusives here are a few weapons for Runamuck and Runabout. Depending on what becomes the "popular" way of making the Running Twins have their backpack I'll probably mod the guns to fit that design as well.

    The idea of new Animated Arcee swords interested me enough to make some. The extensions off the sword handles are 3mm so they'll be able to handle clip-weapons while in vehicle mode. :thumbs2:
