    First a brief preamble. Having cycled through achieving near-completeness (84 -> Energon, Japanese and US), and selling-off everything (well still working on that), for both financial and sanity-reasons, I've come back as a "Specialty Collector"

    My Goal is to recreate the main-cast(as defined by me) of 84 -> Masterforce in "Classics" style, with preference given to custom figures (I intend to eventually get everything at least repainted...reprolabels have been liberally applied already)

    So I've been aggressively commissioning the Radicons, but this list will serve as a clearing-house for current projects, and give artists I may not know about a chance to get in on my spending-spree.

    Current Status: RED- I'm open to discuss anything, but will not be able to start anything for a little while...

    Oddballs -

    ROTF Concept "Seekers" in classic style. - Open to any and all pitches
    I've got ROTF Ransack, and Train-Prime on Pre-Order. A Model-T-former sounds like a LOVELY idea, as well as any other crazy vintage-vehicles. Time, money, and your skills allowing, this'll be a perpetual catch-all category!


    AND, since I can't get the fandom to unite behind this concept, let alone have any hope of Uncle-Hasbro to play along, I'm tossing my Joe/TF Crossover ideas in here too. These are relatively low priority, but if anyone gets excited, I'd love to see these become a reality. I'm open to having these be built around the actual Joe-vehicles, but would be just as happy (probably more happy!) seeing these rendered in a smaller-TF-friendly-scale

    Also, any TF character represented as a Joe-Vehicle below, if rendered in a "Classics-friendly" scale, would count as filling a slot in main list above (Assuming that slot is open) None of which matters to anyone but me, but I'm putting it out there :) 

    GIJoe/Autobots
    VAMP -> Trailbreaker
    SkyStriker -> AirRaid
    Conquest -> Skydive
    KillerWhale -> SeaSpray
    SHARC -> TopSpin (The Function and color scheme even work )
    Silver Mirage -> Groove
    Tomahawk -> Blades
    Tactical Battle Platform -> Metroplex (Even rendered as a standard figure...)
    Flagg -> Broadside (Yet another stripped Triple changer, but that's the trend..)
    HAVOC -> Hardhead
    LCV -> AfterBurner
    Defiant -> SkyLynx

    Cobra/Decepticons
    HISS -> Brawl
    NightRaven -> Blast Off
    Mamba -> Vortex
    ASP -> Shockwave
    STUN -> Runabout (Ok based purely on color scheme...but YEAH!)
    Maggot -> Trypticon (The assault-mode for Tryppy is close, and I could see a TF-scheme working, colors aren't half bad either)
    SeaRay -> Scourge


    Help me change all those "Opens" to complete!

    Updated status on a few projects, changed Status to "Yellow" Willing to discuss a few more projects, but I need to see a few of the current ones to completion before committing to new ones.

    Current projects "in progress" or "In negotiation" are still on. New projects will not go past "in negotiation" until I resolve a few of the current ones (There's a few nearing completion, so won't be long)

    Keep sending those requests in!
    (This system has worked out MARVELOUSLY well!)

    List updated, AutobotX23 has snapped up Wheeljack in addition to Windcharger

    May have a Tracks and Artfire secured soon as well.

    Finished products should be flooding in pretty soon, most projects are starting to hit critical mass!

    I'll link to the Radicon galleries once Solrac333 puts 'em up, but I just gave final approval on Pyro and Snare:

    The Convoy who plays with matches....

    And the original "I'm hiding behind my cockpit-blast shield" jet

    Thanks again to Solrac333 who did a masterful job on these, Pyro especially is just how I've always envisioned him!

    Well I'm not updating my signature again just yet, but at long last, WOW, Rumble619's AMAZING bugs

    [​IMG]

    Also updated a few more statuses, and put myself down as RED for the time being. Need to raise some capitol, and make sure I take care of all the outstanding projects before I take on anything new.

    Exercising restraint WILL be difficult

    I'm loving how much the artist community has embraced it ;) 

    Rumble619 asked me for a pic of the Insecticons in their new home, so I thought I'd share it here too.

    I LOVE how the scale with Revoltech Megatron is correct! (Hekei Megs = Megabolt, Premium Megs = Megaplex btw ;) )

    Got a wild hair about some Triggercon recipes, so updated the list with those proposed projects.

    Triggercon Crankcase - (TF2 Brawn) - Open
    Triggercon Ruckus - (TF2 Dune Runner) - Open
    Triggercon Windsweeper- (TF2 Dirge) - Open

    Granted only 1 of the 3 molds are actually available now, but dibs-calling is allowed in my world.

    Yeah I did kind of enjoy posting kitbash proposals for toys for which we haven't even seen boot-leg-ebay-prototype-versions yet :p 

    NICE on the receipt of Scourge and the soon-to-be-had-updates :)
