    Is the Zerodivisate Beamer or the Cosmic Defenestrator reccomendable in FUD or WSFP for PRID Cliffjumper or RTS Perceptor?

    WFC Megatron needs a mace, or some sort of melee weapon.

    Awesome!!! Fakebuster, I got two questions.
    A) Will you be making Shapeways designs for some of the Fall of Cybertron weapons for the new Generations figures??? and
    B) Are you going to make an Attachment to attach the Fusion Cannon that you made to War for Cybertron Megatron???

    Well, this just means you have to PLAY MORE :3

    I'm not sure how to answer if they'll fit with CJ or Perceptor, because I know both figures have 5mm fists and the Secession weapons use 5mm pegs so they should fit. The only thing you need to worry about is if the weapons fit their characters.

    Both FUD and WSFP will work fine for the weapons, but be cautious that FUD may snap for longer, thin barrels like the one on the Beamer if you are not careful.

    For FOC weapons, let's wait until the game is released first...

    For melee weapons, I'm still thinking about it. For now, you can order the MegaMace!

    Nope, no adaptors or attachments. Fully rebuilt forearms.

    The graininess is similar to WSF, but it is not as powdery.

    Like so.



    I'd be very interested, particularly if it's a durable replacement for his current tread-arms.

    Hey, I just realized, there are no pics of the Ameliorator Foci (aka the Energon Repair Ray) in this thread. Does anyone mind remedying that, maybe being held by a WFC Soundwave?
    (I plan to get one for my custom WFC Ratchet)

    Holy... HOLY CRAP, FAKEBUSKER!

    My order just got here... Holy son of a bitch.

    I ordered a Shrapnel Caster (Scatter Blaster), Positronic Piecemaker (pistol), Hyperfire Fragmentator (rifle), Zerodivisate Beamer (Null Ray), Ionomatrix Judicator (Ion Blaster), Atomic Obliterator (Fusion Canon), Ameliorator Foci (Energon Healing Ray), Cosmic Defenestrator (Scrapmaker). They are all in Polished Aluminide.

    Holy crap are they awesome! I paid out the ass for them but holy crap are they worth it. Some of the parts a little loose and they seem like they don't take super glue at all. I'm still waiting to make that final call but other materials wouldn't have had to wait this long with super glue. Only other major fault/warning is that most of pieces I ordered were all broken at sprues. The fusion canon in particular was completely separated. But luckily I got everything I should have.

    I'll run down my thoughts on each weapon.

    Shrapnel Caster: Looks great and love the idea of the rotating handle. Bad news is that it's loose. Not super loose so it's still usable. Looks great and very game accurate.

    Positronic Piecemaker: I never loved the design of this weapon but you have captured it perfectly. Again the rotating handle is a little loose but still very cool.

    Hyperfire Fragmentator: One of my favorite weapons in the game you nailed this weapon. I am INCREDIBLY impressed with how you did the handle. Oh god that is a thing of beauty. And the fact you actually lock it into place in either orientation! Man, I am patting you on the back. And speaking of that locking, I am extremely glad you did that because this ball joint is INCREDIBLY loose. Had it relied solely on friction of the ball joint to stay in place it would be useless. But you did make it lock in place so it's fine. I love it.

    Zerodivisate Beamer: Fantastic work. Not my favorite weapon in game but another great representation. Everyone who is jonzing for it won't be disappointed.

    Ionomatrix Judicator: Another holy crap! I adore this thing! That handle is so fantastic. Also in Polished Aluminide it is super shiney and smooth and sexy. Everyone tempted by this, do it.

    Atomic Obliterator: I like it and my custom Brawl will be happy to have it. I'm not a huge fan of how disassembled it is but I understand why you did it that way. It looks great but I'm hoping the super glue holds it together so the button isn't floppy and the seams disappear. Hopefully... But it's really cool.

    Ameliorator Foci: Seeing my total price creeping up I kept debating about keeping this in the order but I'm glad I did. It was super simple to assemble and looks fantastic. I'm glad to have this.

    Cosmic Defenestrator: Wow this thing is detailed. The main handle is super loose and I really want the super glue to hold this thing in place but it doesn't seem to be working. I wish the bar on the top would be long enough to have both pieces on but... Okay, problem solved. I gave the scope to the pistol and I'll keep the second handle on the scrapmaker. Yay. Anyway, this thing is big, detailed, and beefy. And who doesn't love a huge beefy gun? Expensive yes, but I'm happy to have one. I doubt I'd get a second one but one is cool. It can definitely be a centerpiece to a figure.

    On the Polished Aluminide, it is very smooth and has a great amount of detail. I don't know how it compares strength wise to say WSFP but I'm not really worried for these. I definitely think this material is going to be my default material for any more Shapeways orders. As for the super glue, it's taken me just under an hour to write this post and the rifle's handle is actually tighter now. So super glue seems to work but at a drastically longer time frame.

    I'll take pictures some time soon but I just wanted to share my initial thoughts.
