    Oh yeah I saw this a couple days ago back on Twitter! Nicely done. I wish we got more BWII figures.

    Blackarachnia looked more Silver in the cartoon. You made the toy look more like a light blue/pink color...

    Also can you do Predacon Rhinox?

    Thanks everyone :D 
    It looks plenty silver on every device I've viewed it on... Unless you mean the peachy-gold bits, which I admit I tried to make stand out a bit more. The legs were kind of a lost cause because the flaky-looking texture of the paint they used was much more visible there, so it would be difficult to make it look as silvery as the other metallic-looking parts (Without losing some of the molded detail at least)

    Any other inconsistencies can be chalked up to different kinds of lighting and I'm okay with that :) 
    Unfortunately I'm still not taking requests in this thread. I wish you the best of luck in finding someone who will complete those requests for you :D 

    Today's addition to this thread is a bit unconventional... If you haven't already come to expect that sort of thing by now

    [​IMG]

    This was supposed to be a quick mock-up digibash to show how the Generations Selects Turtler mold could work as a Monstructor torso. In the end I unfortunately made the colors too dark and spent too much time trying to fix it :confused: 

    The parts I left in prototype gray are supposed to represent pieces that could be left out or removed entirely because it would take too long to edit them out. The chest-horn prong dealies are only partially colored to imply how the plastic underneath might (Or might not) be colored if those parts were fully removed

    I'm still perfectly happy with my Jhiaxus-Structor digibash from back in the day, but I understand why it wasn't an ideal solution for most. I always thought that the [second] best way to settle the torso situation was to combine Slog and Birdbrain into a single robot. With Turtler/Snaptrap you've got a much better Birdbrain monster mode than you could manage with any of the original PotP Voyagers. That way you could have the robot mode be based on Slog and not even need a new head ;) 

    Of course you could just do it as a vanilla Birdbrain and use Titanmaster Repugnus' vehicle accessory represent Slog like in my old digibash. Or you could just have a straightforward Slog with an inaccurate quadrupedal monster mode... I'm not here to tell anyone what they can or can't do :p

    New toy reveals! You know what that means right?

    [​IMG]

    Our Elite Master of Action, our Miller of Winds! ...What does he actually do again? Oh well, Spinister is finally reunited with his tall-headed helicopter brother at long last ;) 

    The floats are probably on the wrong side to transform properly (Assuming both legs can't form the cockpit that is), but I wanted to try it in a toy-accurate fashion rather than just mirroring it right off the bat...

    Okay, I admit I just didn't see the difference between the legs at first. Get off my back! :p 

    And here's something unrelated to the latest reveals... Because someone had to do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    [​IMG]

    I could have finished the latter digibash sooner than the former, but I was worried that it would have gotten overlooked with everyone focused on the new Siege figures

    But apparently I was worried for nothing, Injector is evergreen :D

    Can you digibash some doggy transformers into the Paw Patrol pups in honor of Takara bringing "Paw Patrol" to Japan? ( パウ・パトロール|タカラトミー )

    And of course seeing how the Japanese dub of "Paw Patrol" just came out, it's going take Japan a really long time to get to stuff like Mer-Pups, "Mission PAW", "Sea Patrol", "Ultimate Rescue" and "Mighty Pups".
    * Season 1 (2013–2014): April 2019–September 2019
    * Season 2 (2014–2015) (Everest's debut): October 2019–March 2020
    * Season 3 (2016–2017) (Tracker's debut) (Debut of the Mer-Pups): April 2020–September 2020
    * Season 4 (2017–2018) (Sweetie's debut) (Debut of "Mission PAW" and "Sea Patrol"): October 2020–March 2021
    * Season 5 (2018–2019) (Debut of "Ultimate Rescue" and "Mighty Pups"): April 2021–September 2021
    * Season 6 (2019–2020): October 2021–March 2022
    * Season 7 (2020–2021): April 2022–September 2022

    And it also still doesn't help that Takara decided to make the episodes in the Japanese dub be chronologically confused: パウ・パトロール - Wikipedia

    Thanks guys!
    My brain can't even process what this says right now, but I'm assuming this is a request which I don't take in this thread (Or anywhere else for that matter)

    Good luck with whatever it is you're trying to do, but this unfortunately isn't the right place for it :D 

    Anyway, first off for today is an update to the old "Digibash Graveyard" series of unfinished projects...
    [​IMG]

    Not much else to show, so this is probably my last Digi Graveyard for a while. That is, unless I get frustrated and give up on all my ongoing digibashes tomorrow

    Which I can't discount as a real possibility :p 

    Here's something new for the Beast Wars fans out there...
    [​IMG]

    It's a Siege Dinobot in the same vein as Beast Wars Uprising's "Dynobot" which used the last Generations Springer mold we got. Not a repaint we're likely to see in this post-FunPub/BotCon world we live in, but a fun experiment nonetheless

    I can't imagine someone hasn't made a digibash of this yet, but I couldn't find any proof that it already exists :confused:

    i think sonar could use some more toy accurate red/purple to make it stand out as sonar, and some of the toy's brown to make her pop a little

    I personally want some doggy transformers digibashed into the Paw Patrol pups in honor of Takara bringing to Paw Patrol to Japan that is all.

    And seeing how Everest won't appear in the Japanese dub until October 2019, Tracker won't appear in the Japanese dub until April 2020, and Sweetie won't appear in the Japanese dub until October 2020, I'm obviously gonna use Made In Heaven to speed up time for that one.

    It's not a finished digibash :confused: 

    I figured I didn't have to give the whole spiel about how the digibash graveyard is for abandoned projects I'm never going to return to because it seemed obvious to me that they were clearly unfinished

    Only like three parts of that picture have any color added at all, the rest is the grayscale from the desaturated image I started with (Hence why the faction symbols are totally uncolored Decepticon symbols because they are from the original figure). I suppose since she's already supposed to be grayish in color I shouldn't have blindly assumed that it's perma-WIP status would be obvious from just looking at it :oops: 
    I don't know if I'd call the expression cheerful, but I know it's not exactly an ideal Dinobot face. I just left it alone to increase the connection to the Beast Wars Uprising "Dynobot" design it's based on (Which used Thrilling 30 Springer's head unmodified)
    I feel like I made my position clear with my last response, making more references I only barely understand won't change my mind :wink: 

    As for today's update...
    [​IMG]
    The jet component is just an edit of the Micromaster 10-Pack Overair rather than a brand new digibash in case that wasn't clear

    I wish I could say repurposing an existing Siege Micromaster was my main reason for doing this, but mostly I was just thinking about how much I like Oilmaster's truck color scheme and how I wanted to use those colors for something :p

    Thanks :D 
    It's probably not quite what you intended, but I have an abandoned digibash that involves the Pretender Spider (The bottom of this image)
    It's basically extrapolating off of what they did with Oilmaster's components (As well as Double Pretender Megatron) and using molds from that same assortment of figures. I've considered revisiting the concept, but I'm not sure I'd use the same molds

    Of course, regardless of whether or not it's what you had in mind, I'm not taking requests (Or dares). So... Yeah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Without further ado, here are the the most-recent digibashes
    [​IMG]
    Commander Class Star Saber is based on an image I saw being shared around (But didn't do much research into at the time). I initially rejected the idea because Hasbro introducing a Japanese character to the rest of the world through an $80 toy sounds like a recipe for failure (And for Hasbro not to give us anymore Japanese characters anytime soon). Despite my misgivings, I wanted to see how it would look...

    Apparently I had no idea just how polarizing the concept in question was thanks to the poster who inspired it. I have no firsthand experience with them, but most people who do seem to believe the entire idea of such a figure being made is already "ruined" by association. If it's that bad I'm not sure I really want to associated with the concept in any way in the end, but it would be silly not to post the digibash here after going through all the effort of making it look pretty

    Here's something different, even by my standards...
    [​IMG]
    "Megajoule is one of the few remaining female clones after Megatron’s secret cloning facility was destroyed. Instead of a Fusion Cannon she chooses to wield her 'little brother' Microplex in gun mode. He doesn’t mind, he just likes to be included."​

    The context here is somewhat complicated... A long time ago I wanted to use the PotP Moonracer mold for Nightbird wielding Megatron as a gun, but when someone beat me to the punch of using the mold for Nightbird I briefly considered repurposing the digibash as a new character. However I never went much further than conceptualizing the character as Megatron’s clone at the time. Now that we have an official Nightbird, I couldn't resist the temptation to revisit the idea

    The Nightbird that almost became the original version of Megajoule made it far enough to be included in the WIP graveyard btw (Center), but that was the extent of it until now
