TFP rodimus WIP

tannim31 · 05-14-2012, 08:28 AM

Good Morning!

It's been a while since I dabbled with TF figures and thought I would try a new one. I have been seeing allot of the wheeljack figures floating around in the stores and in the forums. Looking at it and having bought one, I thought it might be a good candidate for a TFP Rodimus figure. I had an extra Rodimus head (Courtesy of hXcpunk23) and an extra TFA Rodimus rear spoiler and slapped it together. I had to dig up an old gundam neck attachment for the new head/ B-joint tho. Not sure how I am gonna do the arm cannons tho, will be dismantling and painting on next days off. Here's pics of the WIP.

As always sorry for the grainy crappy cam pics,
Thoughts and comments Welcome.

It does look it, it's actually not that much larger that the OEM head the added neck piece makes it look a little large (to me that is)

I think so too. Do you have a smaller head?

Nope I don't, Once everything is painted up and detailed out it will look better. with the white body and the dark red head it's going to look monstrous. Besides, if it was too big it wouldn't transform properly, correct?

Had this exact idea, but didn't want to rip apart my only classics Rodimus (whose head I thought would 1) not fit the prime aesthetic and 2) be too small). But looking forward to seeing this painted up b/c this mold in vehicle mode just screams Hot Rod/Rodimus. How are you going to handle the hood flames since the hood is technically the side of WJ's legs on this mold? That was something else I didn't put the time in to figure out.
