Liking what you've got here. The claw especially looks great! Not sold on the cannon arm though. The thing itself looks good, but it's a bit small in comparison to the rest of the body. Maybe use Cybertron Red Alert's cannon for that? Btw, why are the arms reversed? The cannon is supposed to be his left hand, and the claw his right. Every version has it that way.
heheh thnx buddy! hey man glad you like it THNX.. will look into it... the reason is that i'm still not convinced if I can pull of that TANK/CHEST feature the G1 had
hahah sorry mate! I'll retry The G1 OS obviously has a Tank forming the Chest area... So since I started this project without the need of having a Tank, I used the regular Energon OS front (the other side of what you see now) until just recently I decided to try to make a tank that forms the chest.. that's why I simply turned the whole thing around and not yet swapped the arms Long boring story I know but prolly clears it up right?
its looking good buddy and you beat me to it haha,i may have to steal your unicron claw idea haha very resourceful! how you gonna paint it?and a while back you mentioned about it being a pain in the ass to conect those to equal parts...you were right,i had a look at it the other day and though...i think ill not do that haha good stuff mate
Affirmative hehe! thnx yeah NP steal all you want, no pattent-BS here right? Gonna paint as close to G1 as possible, guess semi-flat/glos combo.. Well it's not easy, but you'll manage I'm 110% HIV-postive... ehm I mean, well you know what I mean UPDATE8: Well I'm making several option and will then chose or paint all different blaster and claw versions
UPDATE9: Had a big breakthrough today, decided to cut of the shoulder yellow transparent/cockpit/canopy thingy's and reattached them 180degrees! I think it looks way better now also swapped the lower arms since I was lazy last time Then suddenly the thread/tracks which I was working on for the tank suddenly made sense to actually put to good use.... AND THE BEST THING YET ALTHOUGH NO PICS.......... *drum fill* I'VE GOT AN COMPLETE AWESOME LOOKING LAUNCH PLATFORM + ROCKET! (you can find some hints in the pics showing the different projectiles)
UPDATE10: Well finally made a decent abdomen/chestplate... just no real purpose yet, gonna think on about it in my sleep.. Goodnight!
UPDATE12: have made some minor change I'm now waiting for paint and there might be a small chance I change something, I will have 2 optional claws and hopefully the original G1 will be among those !!
MINOR-UPDATE13: Well today while waiting for the Trypticon weapon to cool... I though, well this one is next to finish and I got a spare G1 head... but wanted a more Classics/Generations look... So I used the turret thingy from energon Inferno I believe... Then mounted the G1 head... modded the canopy to open, realy easy btw used some lego and trimmed down the head, now it has the spinning gimmick!!! So the head turns if you operatie the turret and vice versa for tankmode.. which will be my main focus point after Trypticon is as good as done
UPDATE14: check last 2 picture, I'm having some allround swapping issues and I might finish bots omega's @ the same time or make one into sentinal or I someone wants to buy it I'd love to make a Shattered glass/Nemesis Supreme
UPDATE15: Finally back on this big boy... sumhow the Evil look is cool but doesn't suit an Autobot i guess More info and updates soon!
no i thought I finshed excluding the paint, but then finished another OS first never got around 2 continue this 1 and decided I try sumthing different UPDATE16: I put a ultra bright led in the rubber nosecone, which lights up just awesome!! I'm already working on something really special @ thruster/grab arm...
UPDATE17: Check the final 2 pics.. I split 1 of the 2 halves, which kinda makes 3 fingers right?? I 'll still c if I can get the other arm 2 split in 3 sections also, so that I can chose which one will b the final piece (after that 1 problem remains, the painting of the arms will b a dilemma)
UPDATE18: there will b 2 options in 1 arm, the big section split or the fingers/thrusters... good thing is I can remove the extensions and directly connect them 2 the back
