Okay, this all started when I came across a pic of a Dredging Backhoe (totally awesome machine btw). From that point I had to try and make one... So here is my WiP of one...he seems to fit in with your smaller Tfers like mini-cons and the such, but he's scout sized in general. I also included some reference pics of a dredging backhoe. Enjoy mates:
Now that's thinking out of the box! Looks like a fun toy. The backhoe is even functional! And it turns too!
I literally need this... I have been spending a lot of time nabbing all the boat tfs i can and desgining boat-formers myself, cause i adore boats and transformers equally. Heck my OC is a submarine former. But this.. this is original and utterly amazing! Its actually the one boat I haven't been able to come up with a working tf design for. My uncle actually works on one and its not a common site for most. Nice to see it brought to life in such an amazingly original way.
Oh the delicious irony, who knew a cell phone bot could look so good as a dredger Nice work, we can always use more industrial themed transformers!
Thanks! Thanks bro Aye, thanks mate. I love how he came out, now I just need paint Absolutely. Hasbro/Takara have been very lazy when it comes to choices of vehicles to choose to make. Especially vehicles from engineering, or even maritime. Glad you like him mate! I hope it helps you to make yours! And when you do, please show us! Please feel free to contact me should you need advice, or want to just bounce ideas around. lol thanks Thanks bro. Thanks mate, and I wholly agree.
Odd but original. I totally dig it. Get it? Dig it? . . . . Tough crowd tonight. Anyway, I really like seeing something I haven't seen before. This is a great concept and could make for quite a formidable transformer. Nice work. Is it a Bot or a Con? I'm guessing Con.
He needs a Constructicon paint job...... I work in the petroleum industry, would like to see more ideas like this - machinery that I am familiar with that others may not have seen before, instead of a million-and-one Bumblebee redecos... I love this alt mode!!!!
lol...Thanks mate. He is actually a NAIL or neutral character for hire. I hear you bro! I'd love to see more heavy equipment, and more industrial designs. Do you have a few names of some specific equipment that I could look into?
I have some ideas for heavy equipment, but they depend on your ambition. I can supply references if you would like. walking dragline cable excavator zeppelin Big lake dredge battleship large sea plane
