Dec01 2010: Divebomb added!

I can't assure you that the next updates will all be that quick, but here's something to keep you occupied for now.   It's the sadistic and sneaky assassin, Divebomb. He loves his job: sneaking around, taking bots offline from places up high where they can't see him!

 

Omg the reaper kinda feel on divebomb is epic

 

Divebomb is A 1. I would love to see these made into actual figures.

 

WOW!

 

Digilaut, as much as i love your Rampage i dont like your divebomb. I mean i see what you're trying to pull off with a hood, but it doesnt seem to work out. The head seems to be a bit too low and the way the back is constructed doesnt make the head stoop seem plausible, i mean think about it, Divebomb looks like he's standing up with perfect posture, and sudenly his head is between his shoulders. Maybe you can make the arch of the back curve a bit more to achieve the look easier?
Also, as always i love that you actually put up a transformation sequence, and taking from that transformation, i don't see why you couldn't have 5 proper fingers instead of the 3 you got going for him.
Just my 2 cents

 

I love Divebomb's hood! God damn, this team is shaping out sexy, can't wait for the rest!  

 

OR, you could imagine the hawk head is mounted on a plastic plate, in the centre of which is a swivel which allows the head to rotate. On either side of the plate are pegs which also allow it to tilt backwards, and finally, the sockets these pegs insert into are bottomless, so the head can be pressed down 0.5cm or so to achieve the robot modes look.

 

Nice work on Divebomb there. I love the almost Assasins creed type hood that he has over his head. Great work as usual.

 

Feather kunai. Fucking epic.

I like to think of Rampage as a more manic version of Iron Man's enemy, Whiplash. Can't wait to see the other Preds, man.  

 

Thanks again everybody. I won't bother quoting everybody that has replied because that would create a huge list of thank yous, but know that I really do appreciate it!

Thanks for the input! Sorry you feel that way, but I wasn't going for a 'hunched' or bent forward look - I actually have him lower his head forward to make him look slightly more eerie. It's definitely possible to stand up perfectly straight and do that, although it's a bit more exagarated here. I'm going to take another look and mess around with the image a bit to see if I didn't take it too far, but right now I don't feel I did.

As for the fingers: 5 fingers are boring! I like clawies, sticks, thingies!

In that case, no wonder Divebomb was the second Predacon made; Rampage vanted his bird.  

As an added note, Nice touch to add Protoform X's insanity and ROTF Pogostick Rampage to the orange tiger. Makes me think he's a demented Tigger.  

 

Loving Headstrong. The colors and personality on all these guys are excellent. I also really like the added touch of the transformation steps. Would never have thought to do that... now I can't think of anything else. Very inspiring.

How long does it take you to concept one of these guys? You are releasing them one per day but I get the feeling they are all already completed.

 

I'm really liking that headstrong.

 

headstrong needs a more evil expression, looks a bit too bulkheady!

even just a stubborn expression in keeping with his description would do the trick nicely:

 

And where does the hammer come from?

- Alty

 

Oh, they definitely take longer than a day. I already did alot of work beforehand. Most often I do the transformation sketches last because I find it such a drag to do those   Since in some previous designs people told me they couldn't really figure out the transformations, I'm trying to implement those - so no upload before I can add that to the drawing as well.

There's still alot more to come though, and I definitely haven't drawn everything yet, so pretty fast the updates will no longer be daily.   In one of the future updates I will add a little list so everybody can see just how many parts there will be. Believe me when this doesn't end after 5 Preds + Predaking..

Thanks!

Thanks! Looking back on it..I think you're right. (DAMNIT!)
Going back to change that + do some more alterations where necessary! edit: done.

Subspace? Like Prime's axe, the Dinobots' weapons, Bullkhead's wreckingball that is way bigger than the arm it's stored in (and his belly tray big enough to fit a barrel in  )..I guess it's not too hard to imagine that the sides of the mallet fold back in, and the pole itself folds in as well to make it slightly more compact. He'd probably take it out of a panel on his (robot) back.

 

So who's next:

Razorclaw or Tantrum?

 

Tack-Formers are here for you!
