i stumbled onto this website earlier today http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/toys/mainfrm.html an alternate take on rid megatron? http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/ex/dino-gaist1.jpg http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/ex/dino-gaist2.jpg http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/ex/dino-gaist3.jpg i could actually see that look working for rid megatron but with rid megatron still being a six changer ironhide http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/fb/guard-fire1.jpg http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/fb/guard-fire2.jpg rachet http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/fb/guard-rescue1.jpg http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/fb/guard-rescue2.jpg crosswise http://www.tfu.info/2005/Autobot/Crosswise/crosswise.htm and his brave saga counterpart http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/fb/guard-star1.jpg http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/fb/guard-star1.jpg energon jetfire http://www.tfu.info/2004/Autobot/Jetfire/jetfire.htm and his brave sage counterpart http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/fb/guard-wing1.jpg http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/fb/guard-wing2.jpg cybertron hotshot http://www.tfu.info/2005/Autobot/HotShot/hotshot.htm and his brave saga counterpart http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/ggg/volfog1.jpg http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/ggg/volfog2.jpg g1 inferno http://www.tfu.info/1985/Autobot/Inferno/inferno.htm a possible way to bring him back as a classics inferno http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/ggg/enryu1.jpg http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/ggg/enryu2.jpg or energon inferno g1 grapple http://www.tfu.info/2004/Autobot/CSGrapple/grapple.htm with this guy as classics grapple or energon road http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/ggg/hyoryu1.jpg http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/ggg/hyoryu2.jpg or energon roadblock so far as i can tell cybertron crosswise, energon jetfire and cybertron hot shot could each be seen as being a possible transformer take on gaurd-star gaurd wing and volfogg or for that matter gaurd fire and gaurd rescue could just as easily serve as classics ironhide and rachet if one were to reverse engineer each of them using modern day toy technology what are your thoughts people?
Holy cow, I didn't realize that Fire Convoy was a Brave homage! But he clearly is. Neat! I think re-engineering modern Brave toys in a Classics-esque fashion is pretty unlikely... but if it were to happen, you're right, those would make some perfect candidates to be re-imagined as Transformers.
is it just me or would kouryu and enryu make for a good set of classics figures as g1 firestar and inferno youtube link for enryu youtube link for kouryu anryu could possibly make for a good classics g1 chromia kitbash wise
CURSE YOU, GENOZAUR! Showing these links and making me want to find and buy some of these bots...!! Can't find anyplace that sells Brave figures, aside from BBTS, which has two vintage figures and Masterpiece editions. Not even ebay has 'em!
holy crap i just realised that gaurd rescue has practically the same transformation to robot mode as energon inferno does see for yourself http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/img/fb/guard-rescue1.jpg and inferno http://www.tfu.info/2004/Autobot/Inferno/inferno.htm
would it make more sense then to kitbash energon inferno into classics ironhide and rachet? for that matter would it even be possible to transfer energon inferno's head to enryu and hyoryu's bodies with hyoryu's vehicle mode getting the cryo cannon portion of the extendable crane arm swapped out for the hook portion of roadblocks crane to convert hyoryu into a crane truck
The Inferno and Grapple ones you believe to be are GaoGaiGar robots, there's for of them in total (Red/Green/Blue/Yellow). The Red and Blue one combine side by side into a larger robot. Ditto for the Yellow and Green one. Damn, where's Sol Fury when you need him? Heh.
thats the breaks man sorry bfox but you really crack me up right now i just can't help it when a idea hits me its like a bothersome itch that i just got to scratch i just cant stop myself from exploring a good idea when it hits me as the saying goes when inspiration strikes you have to strike when the irons hot
so what about the black and pink fembot pair the 2 that combine to become tenryujin heres the youtube links now that is sweet hey dark rage all im saying is that enryu and hyoryu would make for a decent set of figures to bash up into classic g1 inferno and grapple enryu has a near perfect colorscheme for inferno and just needs energon inferno's head and maybe a slightly different ladder cannon to become inferno while hyoryu needs the same head swap job , the cryo cannons swapped out for a extendable hook and cable and a g1 grapple style colorscheme to pull off the look
Nobody's stopping you from kitbashing. Last time I checked, each GGG Truck Robot will cost your ~$50 and up for each. You can always get the knockoffs though. We can always paint GaoGaigar in a Predaking paintscheme, heh.
