    I think what he's implying is that for FB to make a decent profit off these designs, he SHOULD make them PRiDE compatible due to when it comes down to it more people are gonna have a PRiDE Optimus the the FE (due to it's limited release). Besides FE came WITH a decent sword and gun..whereas PRiDE basically came with crap!..

    RE: RID Powerizer prime using the new sword pack.
    The TFP RID version of OP has 5mm peg capable hands, so he can use the FB83 swords
    if you like.

    Also oddly enough I like Powerizer Prime's sword as screen inaccurate as it may be.
    His gun on the other hand, not so much.

    Hey FB, just looking at the claws you have for Tomahawk... think they would work on DOTM Jolt?

    CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE LEMON IS COOKING!
    It doesn't MATTER cuz I'll show you!

    Here's a replacement head for the War for Cybertron Cliffjumper figure! To give the figure a bit more longevity on the shelf, if you know what I mean.
    I'm 90% confident that Hasbro is not going to release WFC Cliffjumper again with the game accurate head so here's my offering!

    [​IMG]

    The face is made to look like TFP's 'Dwayne face' but with the FOC helm, cuz I didn't really like how he looked in the game.

    I'm pretty excited about this one so I'm showing it to you guys first. It is a WIP, but I've only left to do his light piping. Let me know what you guys think!

    He should? He's an artist, he doesn't owe any of us anything. He should make want he wants and not be bound by circumstances that are out of everybody's control (the FE debacle). Make what you like Ariel! And to the detractors...well buy what you like. This fandom's insistent air of entitlement is sickening.

    Ok ok this is enough. Let's not get ourselves too aggressive here.
    You guys are all correct. There are some suggestions here well made and will earn me some profit, like I should do more for RID than FE since it's a wider release, etc, etc. I take that all into account when I choose what to design. You can note that the recent Optimus swords I did are more open at the sheath, and should work with the RID powerizer as well as the FE one.

    Eradicon and Nickbot are right as well. I treasure all the suggestions written in this thread, and if you noticed I follow through with many of them. But ultimately my decisions are guided by my own interests and tastes. If I don't feel for an idea, I'll be reluctant to do it (unless it's a commission, which is something else)

    That is why I did the Rock Shooter head. I felt there's a need for it, although no one has suggested it to me before, and I really like the character.Is it going to be profitable? I don't think so as WFC is an old mold. Did I have fun doing it? HE** YEAH

    This being said, I hate to have this thread degenerate into something lower. We are having a good run here (108 pages! Woot!) with great discussion and I made many friends. Let's not spoil the camaderie. Also, do contribute critique and comments, but I abhor 'forceful language'. I've turned people away for that reason before and I hate to do that. Keep everything light, guys.


    If by working on Jolt you mean by having the claws 'replace' the original hands, I think not unless there's some modding involved. I'm not sure how well those 'fingers' are good at grasping 5mm pegs but you can try...

    Yes :3

    And with this I can announce he's ready for a test print! Stay tuned for a few weeks! It would the THE MOST ELECTRIFYING EXPERIENCE

    BTW, How about a different blaster for WFC CJ? The ones that came with that mold just looks like a banana...

    I'm noticing people using masculine pronouns, is "Ariel" not a feminine name?

    Who cares? Just don't call me Shirley.
    I love the Rock Shooter. I hope you will make more heads. Maybe some generic designs to use for customs.

    Ariel can be used by both genders. I have an uncle who had that name, and we also have that Disney Character with the same name. It all depends on the culture. Heck, there are other names that are gender neutral. Dana and Carol comes to mind. You have Michelle, Jay, Mischa, etc... etc.. etc...
