I thought I'd try out the Tripredacus trio in Kreon style. Tried to keep to existing parts, though Ram Horn cheats a bit with the legs:

These guys are definitely on the top of my want list, even if they don't combine...


EDIT: 'Kay, didn't expect to do so many.

Please do NOT make requests, I am NOT taking them.

[Nope]

HEY YOU, I love this and therefore I love you. The fact that these guys are made from actual parts (except Ram Horn's legs) means that this is totally plausible and I'm definitely going to buy doubles so I can make them.

[deltaprime]

My goodness this is fantastic. And now I want it.

all of my me gustas.

Now if they could combine...

[Noideaforaname]

Thinking it over some more, perhaps Scorponok's claws could also be used for Ram Horn's legs' legs. If not I'm sure there are posts of some sort that could fit and let the "insect" legs hook onto (which would let them face forward like they do on the toy).

No idea how to tackle the combined mode. Tripredacus wouldn't combine the same way the others do (being only 3 bots form him), and I'm not entirely sure what other pieces are available and how they all work. I suppose going with 4 bots would make it easier (though he is called "TRIpredacus"), but who'd be the fourth guy? ...Maybe Tarantulas? He is, after all, an agent of Tripredacus, plus he fits the arthropod theme, and his purple could potentially be worked in. Hmm...

Since I did this digitally I thought I might as well do the obvious repaint, the Jointron brothers:

Happy faces would probably be more befitting...

[Noideaforaname]

Argh, once you start think of how to make more Kreon characters you just can't stop.

Here's Tarantulas in both Original and Transmetal. Same body design (itself a hybrid of both bodies), just different colors.


The build is just Airachnid with Waspinator's helmet, so the extra Waspy you buy for Cicadacon could also be used for Tarantulas.

[Nope]

That's so awesome. I'm gonna have to make both versions (it's not like Waspinator is going to use his helmet anyway).

[T16skyhopp]

Excellent.

[Noideaforaname]

Welp, I'm hooked on these things. It's terribly, terribly addicting.

Today we got Blackout!

Airachnid's helmet + Warpath's chestcannon + Springer's rotor/backpack


This custom Kreons gig is probably a golden opportunity for Reprolabels and Shapeways.
