I completely agree with your suggestion of posting more information initially.
But... It may be a bit longer before I have something worth sharing on this
particular project.

All I ask is your patience. I think I have adequately shown that I do in time
provide.

I'm sorry, but I wasn't suggesting anything about to post content. If you have work to show, post. If do not have any renders, etc., wait until you do prior to posting. If you simply need a place to discuss your ideas prior to creating work, use the Creative General Discussion forum. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please pm me. Thanks!

There is concept art in the first post of the thread.
To allay any confusion I have reposted it here as well.

Hope this turns out well, because the chopper spider legs she has are pretty pitiful.

Hope you'll be able to use these recent pics as a reference: Transformers Prime & Bot Shots BotCon 2012 New Hasbro Case Images - Transformers News - TFW2005

Yeah they are pretty bad.

Thinktank · 05-01-2012, 01:31 AM

Here are some notes on the progress so far.

I have been tinkering on this and the folded blades will be about 60-65mm
long and the hub will likely not free spin. Turn; yes, spin; not so much.

For this to be installed it looks like the original rotor will have to be permanently/
destructively removed. Yeah I know, no big loss to me either.

To make the legs strong enough for her stand on in "Drider mode" would require
some very large ugly joints. That isn't a viable option to me. So I am working
on two options. Some removable clear clips that will hold her walker joints static
so they will hold her up. And/or: a clear stand that would fit under her and hold
her up in both her "Drider" and helicopter forms.

Which would you interested parties like better?:
>Clear joint-lock clips.
>Clear supplemental stand.

Vampyr · 05-01-2012, 04:28 PM

i would choose a supplemental stand, the joint lock clips means some sorts of partsforming which is not cool

Thunderthruster · 05-01-2012, 06:02 PM

Definitely prefer the stand idea, as it can be used for the copter mode as well!

Stand? Cant ratchet the hinges? simple notches should suffice..right?
