    Hey all just finished re watching masterforce and was reading some old transformers comics. I then realized how cool the decepticon pretenders were, I simply love them. Now I dont know what it is because I seem to love the decepticons more and more now over the autobots, to me they just getting cooler XD Anyways Am gonna post some pics soon as my camera is having problems charging. I wanna give a quick credit and shout out to
    tfw2005 user "aprim" for his awsome pretenders and just inspiring me same with "frenzyrumble" for inspiring me to start customizing. I like the molds he chose as his base figures I might be using the same for some i dont know yet.{
    Here is the list of pretenders i'm working on so far:
    Bludgeon
    Skullgrin - (link to his page) http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/563528-pretender-skullgrin-update-regularly.html
    Octopunch
    Iguanus
    Bomb-Burst
    submarauder
    finback
    bugly(gonna be a tough one)
    and finally carnivac(got a unique approach to this one to make him cooler)
    might do snarler and stranglehold but strangle hold will prolly be last.
    Thanks for reading guys and wish me best of luck.

    PS: I have a bad habit of working on multiple projects at a time so as to never get bored of working on just one project.
    I decided that this will be the page that is essentially the link index to each individual project and I will be also conducting surveys on here for letting you guys pick which one for me to work on next. and letting you guys know what I am currently working on and maybe even start to do a livestream in the future for you guys to watch who knows.

    Hey did you ever get to the other ones on your list? I'm doing the Decepticon Pretenders in a Classics style and I'm having trouble picking a basic figure for Snarler. Any ideas?

    Yea actually still working on them I am really taking my time with them, still setting up my new studio as well as I just moved my workspace. For snarler though I can't remember which line it was I think either it was from mcfarlane or the he man line. It was a basically an un articulated boar fat and pretty big. Then I was gonna cut it up and articulate it with some ball joints and sculpt (that or sculpt one from ground up and cast it for others.) Let me see if I can find it in my link history might have been from an 80's-90's cartoon. For the robot inside the shell I was going to fuse two figures both from the beast wars line and add sculpt or go another route which would look alot better but be 90% scratch. When I do mine I will link it to you in a PM to help. I want to try to keep my pretenders shells to voyager-mega and the robots themselves scout-deluxe.
    Here is some concept art for snarler hope this will help as well.

    Ask Aprim as well me and him are both members on tfw2005 that are currently doing pretenders. He might have some ideas.
