Still continuing my home made devastator. Figuring out exactly how scavenger transforms from just the ONE 30 second transformation scene of devastator .... is tough. But that is precisely why I want to build scavenger and mixmaster first. One thing I have figured out for sure- the shovel are divides into 2 halves which attach to either arm. I hate to sound like a G-whiner, but I must admit, it looks like scavenger's pieces just fly into place. Look at the transformation again : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Vr05B94Q0 pause from 0:06 to 0:08 .... it looks like the red flaps around his neck, pop out of nowhere !!
I think in truth they do - it wouldn't be the 1st time we've seen the bayformers cheat... However, if you want to have these pieces, I believe it's still possible, but you'll have to make the side panels of Scavenger on balljoints & maybe attached to small arms, so they can pop-up into position to mimic this effect... I still watch you as a source of inspiration at your dedication with this custom!
I just watched the video for H.A. jazz . That is amazing ! If they can do it with jazz. .. then I can do it too. I just have to be patient.
