    HA! I was wondering what that thing was in your store! We have not even 1/6 of Hercules yet, and here's our first upgrade.

    I LIKE IT!

    Usually I'm all about "no parts forming" but G1 Devy's particulars have imprinted on my so deeply from when I was a kid, I really welcome this!

    even if it does could you not make an hollow version like it functions like a coat over the existing threads?

    Hm... I almost thought that capped on top of the treads to hide them. Still, they're a neat accessory, even if I personally am not interested in them.

    Now the Energon<->PCC converter is interesting. Only a matter of figuring out how well mixing the PCC construction bots with the Energon Constructicons would look together... Pretty sure the drill (sledge?) would fit in with them well, but that bulldozer (steamhammer?) is a bit funky.

    Ah well, look forward to seeing what people come up with in the near future, that's for sure!

    Glad you like it!

    Thanks! The forearm will work in every mode and have a special function besides a forearm.

    Keep an eye out and see what I have in-store. ;) 

    The Energon shoulder port that will be in my store will be compatible with this set. It will give you the room you need to get the treads folded up in arm mode.

    Thanks!
    Like i stated earlier, keep an eye out on this thread. There are plenty more that I have planned and there should be new releases often.

    I have wanted to do something like the Energon Port. or hoping someone else makes something like it since i have no knowledge of Autocad or shapeways in general. Would be great to have a joint in the energon port to give Fans Project Superion better shoulder articulation, kind of like how they did with the joints for their Bruticus. As awesome as the fans project set is his shoulders are a big draw back, and i know they are other ways you can do the arms but none look as good as the original set up. But yea your stuff looks great, gives a good use for some otherwise bland pcc comanders

    Thanks! I'll be adding some pics this week to show off some combos I have going on, including Superion with the FPJ upgrade kit and my shoulder adapters.

    On a side note, is there anybody who would be interested in a female to female connector for Energon to PCC? If there is enough interest, i'll add it to the shop.

    Yes being able to add PCC commanders as limbs for Energon commanders would be great. Need to see if Steamhammer and Sledge can be made into good limb modes for the Energon Constructicons. Or Skyhammer and Skyburst for the Aerialbots.

    So, the forearm won't work in combined mode... Go look at the new pics on the homepage; there's NO room for the treads to be up. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, just thought I'd point it out.

    It will work. :D  I'll be selling the Energon shoulder adapter with the forearm. It will give it enough room to have the treads folded up.
    Here are some quick pics to show how the shoulder connectors will work.

    Better pics and final versions of upcoming sets will be shown soon. 2-3 weeks max.

    Also, I highly recommend Process' ab filler for Superion. It's defiantly helps the figure. And it goes will with the shoulder adapters. ;)

    Hi, I asked process to make the abdomen filler storeable in every mode ;) 
    Now I'm asking if it is possible to make this energon shoulder adapter with some detail, for example look like missile pods, like in FP Bruticus. So in jet mode, Silverbolt can use them as additional missile pods to store on the connectors on the arms ;)

    I'll have several versions up for sale, like how Process has several versions of the Superion Ab attachment.
    Thanks!

    Hm... any chance that Energon extender can be a bit shorter? On Superion that arm sticks out quite a bit.

    On Devastator, the extender and new arm piece for Exgraver's looks pretty damn good.

    CodeXCDM, dude, thanks for the link to this thread!

    thedreaded1, fantastic idea, this is awesome!. I'm really interesed in the forearms for the TFC Devy. Haven't had time to read the full thread yet, so sorry if this has been asked but: plan on making more parts to integrate the forearms into the constructicons? Like portable power sources or something?

    the shoulder pieces are a great idea, but it looks like they space out the arms a little too far

    is there enough material strength to shave off a few millimeters?
