I often wonder how Transformers fans exist, it always seems like nothing can please them…
I've only got the CD wings set & the giant sword, but I LOVE THEM DAMN IT!
Sure they're overpriced, but I think they're worth it. They're definite improvements to Predaking.
Your upgrades are great, but I'd like to make a few suggestions:
(1) Is there any way that you could alter the midsection piece so that it's removable? Razorclaw's robot mode looks too…long. Even with the arm extensions.
Maybe have it convert into a weapon of some kind, like Tantrum & Headstrongs cannons/feet?
(2) Would it be possible to make a longer forearm for Razorclaw that slides into the arm?
If/when these ever become available, I'll definitely get a set or two.

Hey guys,
Wow, glad people like the extensions…makes it worth investing the time in a version with updates in which I can make them for sale. I'll open a new thread in customs and create a link here for those that are interested!
Cheers,

Damn those extensions look good. Please don't come out with them, because then I would have to buy the current CD stuff.

My thumbs broke on my CD hands. Garbage product.
Napjr
Amazing man! that looks really cool!
If i might suggest another upgrade for your pieces… you could model a replacement palm for the CD hands… with a better thumb because that tiny balljoint is extremely fragile

Damn, that last pic is awsome… Yes, you should release these upgrades for purchase…

I would like to get these too. You should mass produce them and sell them. Just let me know when I can buy them. Please!!!

Now that's how Predaking was meant to be! If only those mods could be mass produced…

^^^ Holy shit thats epic!! I want leg and waist extensions where do i buy???? Nao!!!!

Hey guys….totally share your frustration. The best thing CD has done yet was legs/thighs for Devastator, so I figured they would revisit that formula for Predaking and I bought into each accessory…and waited…and waited…WTF???…well I got VERY sick of waiting.
I DID MY OWN!
The project ballooned from the original scope but here's a quick rundown…more details available if you're interested…
_______________
Here's my original concepts and ideas:
Then I made some CAD and uploaded to Shapeways:
Note how I've pitched his weight forward (about 1/2 inch, indicated by green lines):
The legs swivel so Predaking's toes can point outwards:
After some mockups and sketches, we decided to design a waist extension too–I think his proportions really needed it:
And of course with Razorclaw's arms now looking even stubbier, I decided to make even more extensions…in this case for his arms…
Okay, here are some pictures of my first build. Some tweaks are still needed, but it gives you the idea of the results that leg extensions give. Predaking NEEDS THESE BIG TIME!!!
Pics of the parts:
Razorclaw with waist extension:
With full wings and all CD parts:
With painted parts and arm extensions:
Even Hercules looks up to this badass!

Fuck CrazyDevy.

I'm also now in the position of thinking about selling my Predaking and CD parts cause I'm giving up hope on the leg extensions. Plus, as mjordan23 just said, it seems like only a matter of time until TFC or someone does a Predaking.

With so many other companies making better TF stuff… sooner or later I feel like we are going to have the option of a really nice Predaking from someone instead of getting this overpriced stuff from CD randomly.
Also they made a few predaking parts really quickly but its been a few months since we get anything for Predaking, and its really annoying to me.

Oh look at that. CrazyDevy is still in business.
JoeHavok
Would have been awesome if I didn't already she'll out the money for the first sword. I'm starting to feel abused by Crazy Devy here folks. I wonder how much money they suckered me in to spending at this point? Not this time, I won't buy this sword, as cool as it looks. The bleeding from my wallet has to stop!

Ive boycotted crazydevy since the last PK upgrade… I think it was the mane… I have every single PK upgrade and Im not buying any more until i get the leg extensions
