    Seeing how you are doing a "dread" upgrade kit and it is UNLIKELY that hasbro will produce a Deluxe crowbar, Would it be possible to make a Crowbar head that can replace a cranckase figure?? (like you did with the "Babebots" for terradive???)

    Nope, I don't own a Battle Tanker nor a Laser Prime, but I must admit the combined set does look good!
    Nope, no plans to make hands for that set.

    For Crowbar's head, maybe, but unlikely. Movie styled heads are a different animal than classics styled heads, very difficult, very detailed. I rather provide a smaller set and let people customise their own Crowbar faces, than sell an exorbitantly priced set.

    Just a quickie, guys.

    Version 2.0, compared to 1.0 has much better proportions, posability, and transformations is much more complicated.

    Hope you guys like it! Weapons to come soon.

    Looks awesome. Can he stand securely on WFC Soundwave's shoulder?

    Hi guys,

    Aaand the Snitch is ready and at this stage, I see it as complete and I'm ready to move onto other stuff.

    Adding up to a proud total of 15 joints, the head, neck, legs, wings are all posable, and the transformation scheme is simple, but you need to think through it for a bit.

    It comes with 2 cannon weapons with fold out barrels for longer ranged bombardments.

    Yes it folds up into a cybertronian cassette that fits into WFC deluxe Soundwave.

    Thanks for the kind comments, guys!

    Well...version 1.0 did have a 5mm peg that folds out from the belly so that other figures can hold him, but I decided to remove that feature in this new version. He can stand alright on most flat surfaces.

    I will be ordering a test sample soon, and until I've verified everything is ok I'll not selling the Snitch yet.

    I'm curious about that Energon Barricade. Did you mod it? I notice the extra tires.

    Also, the colours on the weapons fit the figures beautifully dude. Nice job!

    *Sees the articulation*

    *Sees they flip out guns*

    *Sees it transforms*

    Bullshit. This is probably the only time I can truly say a fan-made product has reached HasTak levels of engineering. This is on par with shit Hasbro did back during ROTF and Animated, only smaller. That's just incredible.

    I have a question, you most likely have been asked it before so I'm sorry if that's the case, but have you ever considered doing the unfinished Animated figures like Hot Shot? You just have the ability to make stylish designs practical, and technically they were never produce so you're not copying anything. The only downside is they'd be much, much larger than your current stuff, but there'd also be more of a market.

    I can actually answer this for fakebuster, who has told us that full figures simply are too big to be made (as the cost would be EXTREME), and fakebuster prefers add-ons.

    Shame, he's the only person who has the talent and skill to pull it off. Guess we'll just have to live wondering what could have been.

    Remember that these are collector's items, not toys. Hasbro needs to engineer their figures to be durable enough to withstand a small child playing with them (no easy task) while Fakebusker's stuff just has to hold together long enough to be displayed on a shelf by a careful collector.
