Hybrid G1 Ironhide (Ver. SMOG) WIP

TCracker · 05-08-2012, 10:06 AM

Thanks to SMOG for the inspiration, his kitbash gave me the idea to do one for my own. basically i used Universe Countdown's arms, Kotobukiya 1/100 hands and BT Broadblast head.

This is still long way to go as I have to do alot of cutting and trimming as the arms is a damn tight fit in vehicle mode.

And for the head, I still have not figured out a practical way to store it yet,. Probably I will try something ala energon Inferno head transformation technique.

The rest are just mistransformations.

will update as i go. Thanks for looking.

Note: I did not greyscale the pics as his colors are pretty much the final colors i will be settling for, except with some paint details.

Wow, that is very slick!

Looks great. So much better than the original.

Nice! The Broadblast head is not bad... I'll have to rethink using one of the Alt Skids heads I have lying around.

I'm amazed that those arms fit (are they in there in the alt-mode pics?) but they do look nice and beefy. I wonder of you can swap out the giant hinge joint at the shoulder for something that will attach to the existing balljoints on that mold, and still hold the new arms from the bicep down?

Let me know if you come up with a solution for the head storage. I'll do the same if I get there first!

Wow...I'm curious about the arms too, is their space under the roof for a head? If so you could create a revolving panel using parts from something else

That is nuts

Very awesome looking. Makes me want to look for this figure on clearance to make something decent out of it.

Arms and tummy look awkward. Neat Idea!
