Really liking that purple.

Purplelicious!!!

If you don't have any versions of the banshee blade, I highly recommend getting one, and this one looks fantastic. I have the white blade (using it with Ultra Magnus), and a translucent red one that was made for Cybcon, and they are both great.

looks hawwwwt!
Kilowog
Since I'm mad on for upgrading my WFC/FOC toys (even though Scream isnt out till next year ), made a CP account to get this bad boy.

Wonder how many are left now
Vangelus
That looks awesome. Ordered!
Sidecutter
They are moving along pretty briskly. If this keeps up they'll all be sold within a few days at most. And just to make sure - we're not kidding. Fifty pieces. Period. There will never be any more of it.

How does this scale for a MP-01B to serve as a Nemesis Prime Sword?

SOLD! That is going to look great in the hands of my Universe version of Nemesis Prime.

I would be more interested in that big purple gun for Botcon Overlord he showed a while back. I got enough purple swords.

It's probably too small to work well for that unfortunately. The sword scales well and looks very good with pretty much anything Voyager class or smaller in size, and may even work with some Ultras. Once you get to Leader class or above it is going to look more like a short, close-combat sword (along the lines of a gladius) than a serious skidplate-kicking large blade.
axiom
Just preordered, hurry, only 14 left!
Scaleface
While pretty, I'm hesitant to pay Voyager prices for a sword.
Sidecutter
Understandable, but we're keeping it as low as we can - it's just barely more than the normal Banshee sword was priced at. Remember that Renderform custom-casts their products - there's no mass production - and that they use high-quality resins, not the cheaper stuff that you can buy in most hobby shops.
Timesynch
Looks decent. Would like to see AM Terrorcon Cliffjumper wield it but limited to 50 pcs means I'll probably never see it.
Sidecutter
Well, there ARE a few left at this point...
Scaleface
I would be interested in these if mass produced. They are an excellent design. Once Renderform finishe selling their, I wish they would have someone in China mass produce one version.

You won't see it because it'll take Renderform a year to get it out, not because it's limited.
Timesynch
Well, that and I'm at work at the moment. By the time I get home, probably sold out. XD
tb-1599
4 left!
Roller81
bought. wasnt sure until i saw it with Cybertron Nemisis Prime.
hoosierdaddy04
One left... Kinda wanted two but I want someone elce who wants this to have one as well
Edit: and like that their sold out.

On a side note very nice exclusice sidecutter looking foward to reciving this
Sidecutter
Ok, well...that was fast. Yikes.

So let me ask, are there other variants folks would like to see as exclusives of this sort? This one jumped out at me when I first saw the Banshee Sword, but there are no doubt other good ideas, less obvious, that are suited to a niche release but not a normal production run.

All gone!

I too want to see someone take the randerform kits and mass produce or ko them. I missed out on the skyfall kit, darkwing kit, and blaster kit. From what I heard they wont make anymore anyways.
Deceptigtar
damn missed it, could use it for my united wfc megs, well if anyone got a second let me know.

is there a chance you could produce a base model that people can personally customize?
Avengers
I bought the Renderform Universe Darkwing head and weapons kit. I was impressed by the items.

I'm not interested in this sword thing in this thread.

What do you mean by a base model? White hilt and clear blade? Or something else?
adean
Let me know if anyone has an extra blade they want to sell. Thanks

Yes sir..or whatever's easiest for you to produce.
Dogimus Prime
Quite simply, I missed the bus on this one and am trying to get you to bring it back somehow. lol
Sidecutter
Annexus is complete and on the way!

Dogimus Prime
Are you guys going to produce any other versions of this?
Sidecutter
If there's a purpose for it that makes sense, and a color scheme that would look good, sure. There's already 2-3 versions in the wild from Renderform, and I think another is coming up as a Frost Blade.

I've thought about maybe an SG version, with a purple hilt and yellow crystal blade, but it just looks so hideous in my mind's eye...
brr-icy
frost blade was already released a while ago for metrocon iirc, the banshee blade was on the site (red/white) the purple looks great

Sounds perfect for G2 enthusiasts.
FatedLazarus
I received my Annexus sword this past Saturday. And wow - I absolutely love it. My thanks go out to Sidecutter and Renderform for this fantastic piece. Now I am just waiting for the FOC Starscream to get released so that he can wield it. Though I must stay it looks pretty awesome in Megatron's Dream Maker upgrade hands.
Kilowog
Cool, just gotta wait for Broken Blade to be in stock and they'll both be shipped

I would guess if the sword was intended to be used by Starscream the ideal alternative would be to insure that there's colours available at some point to suit a Possible FOC Thundercracker and Skywarp - if such things ever get made.

But speaking pure of colour I like the green resin a lot and the medium orange. I think the best idea overall is to try to mirror the shades seen for Energon in the Transformers Energon toyline then if you give it to an Energon character you can back it up with a suitably matched power crystal.

That sort of Pinkish purple Cartoon Energon colour has some merit too. as might a nearly clear very pale blue. (like the frost bits on Ice Armour He Man) as that would sort of complement Transformers with clear window parts.

A vibrant dark orange might be nice as not only might it suit Classics Grimlock it might also suit the 3rd party Not-The Fallen toy too.

I'm thinking of whom it might suit other than that and The Energon Mirage/Dreadwing/Banzai-Tron mold looks like it would suit it.

The only feedback I would offer other than that is perhaps it might be possible or preferable to have a 5mm hole or post in swords like this (like in the hilt) so they can be stored or used on vehicles too. or even a 5mm post for the pommel so that they can be added to a longer handle.

I've long thought a longer multi-part handle from Renderform would be really nice if it allowed you to make a long handled frost axe etc...

Nice sword though.
Sidecutter
Unfortunately, things like adding a peg hole or peg to the hilt are not going to be possible unless Renderform sees fit to do that first. Those changes would require entirely new prototypes, and entirely new molds, which would take the sword well beyond a reasonable price if done for exclusives like this.
hoosierdaddy04
Recived shipping notice today. Looking foward to having this in hand, the one I seen at Slagacon looked great!

BTW as a side note Sidecutter you may want to adjust your sig to more accuretly reflect your stores price on MP Soundwave. I know it's a minor detail just figured I'd let you know.

nice little sword - very quality
