    Cool combiner in post 17.

    Would anyone happen to have an extra Construct-bot sword they'd be willing to part with? I'm thinking the model that came with Megatron and the triple-changing Bumblebee. Either color would work. Thanks :)

    Construct-Bot Creation Thread

    Didn't see a thread like this, so I thought I'd start.

    Bumble-Nok! and Soundwave Sleek Jet mode.

    Post yours!

    I hate how these are all around the same size due to the frames. I get it though, it's the 1st wave, maybe this was to be expected. Hopefully more diverse frames will be introduced in the future, like a bigger frame for guys like Bulkhead and Optimus. I like the smaller ones coming out in a few months too.

    I added the wheel parts to my Ironhide's wrist pieces. Makes the wheels go underarm or alongside the arm in bot mode instead of sticking out to the side.

    Keep these creations coming boys!

    Also should add, the ball joints feel like Kre-O joints, I worry that they will wear down in the future.

    Anyone have a reliable measurement on the neck joints? I was thinking I could start converting my custom kreon helmets into Constructbot heads (I asked this in a GD thread under Radicons, but I'm not sure if anyone actually looks over there).

    So I found a link to this awesome thread on facebook and decided to share my Guiltaur from the Prime/Megatron 2 pack. It's not exactly what he looks like, but with the given parts I tried it anyway. Let me know what you think.

    I LOVE this line.

    You could make a Rodimus using Ironhide and Triple Changer Bumblebee.

    I tried an Ironhide Constructabot yesterday... and up until this evening I wasn't sold on him. But then I did this...

    [​IMG]

    Yeah, I took that Batman Tumbler idea and did more with it! Actually making something more than the basic robot/vehicle was surprisingly good fun. Tomorrow I may very well get a Starscream or Wheeljack... depending on which one has the more diverse parts.

    I combined some of Bumblebee's wheel wells and spoilers (Wings/Fins) to Ironhide and created Construct Bot Hot Rod (or Hot Rodimus).

    Vehicle mode:

    Robot Mode (without part morphing) Keeping spoiler on the wheel wells:

    Robot Mode details with parts morphing the spoilers to behind the shoulders:

    It's a decent version so far. It might look better with the upcoming Smokescreen's hood/body, or a color variation using Wheeljack's hood/body.

    A quick parts morph for Prime. Simply move the forearm wheel assembly to the posts in the rear of the robot. It puts the wheels along side his legs allowing better arm movement.

    For Alt mode, just move the wheel assembly back to the forearms and transform as intended.

    What I like about Prime's rear wheels is that they connect to each other (via the trailer hitch parts). It holds together very well and sturdy.

    The 2-pack is the Optimus & Megatron combo. It comes with loads of extra bits.

    Does every Starscream have that 1/3 painted head?

    The first run version that I got does. Not sure if that is across all of them. Hasbro customer service told me they would replace it if I sent the entire set back. They will send me another full set. I might get a fully painted head piece or not. I'll let you know in 4-6 weeks.

    Look on Hasbro Toy Shop.com. EVERY Starscream has it.
