Hi guys n gals, do you know what vehicles the toy combaticons were based off. I'm trying to recreate them in 3D but so far I've made onslaught and vortex by guess work.
Cheers for the help

It's probably your best bet. Unless someone here knows the specific vehicles (if any) they were based off (which I wouldn't be surprised if someone does). I'm done.

Brawl looks like a simplified Abrams to me.
Swindle was a pretty generic military jeep in the show I think, the toy is rather different.
With the other 2 I can't even go as "detailed" as with Brawl and Swindle. A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?

from sgcollect:
Blast Off Space Shuttle
Brawl Leopard 1 tank
Vortex Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk (or GKN Westland Super Sea Lynx Mk88A) helicopter
Onslaught Green flatbed truck w/cannon
(Vortex was depicted as a Sea Lynx helicopter in the cartoon and the comic. However, the toy isn't a Sea Lynx...)
the list is wrong, swindle is not a jeep, hes like some eastern bloc/european (german i think) model or something | |

#7 | | Are ya gonna draw pistols Join Date: Jun 2003 Posts: 3,436 Location: Serbia...still in it Collection Count: 126 displayed with another 15-20 in various boxes all over the room... | In some threads in the last couple of years, someone posted a pic of a prototype US. Army military all-terrain vehicle that was being researched in the '70s, and was abandoned when US Army got the Humvee. Swindle is like an SD version of it, sorta like G1 Bumblebee is SD VW Bug. I'll try to find those pics.
Here's what I've found: http://jalopnik.com/cars/jalopnik-fa...php?mail2=true
(second and third pic from the top)
EDIT: My mistake, it was an XR 311 prototype http://www.meisterburg.com/xr311.htm http://www.meisterburg.com/xr311/pages/xr311story.htm
Big thanks goes to Nemesis Predaking for this awesome sig!!
