    Alright, this might be frowned upon, but kinda something i've wanted. I feel like the colors go together well. The style and chunkiness. ANYWAY. I have been scouring this site and shapeways for someone who could make pieces that would allow them to combine. people have other connnector converters. Anyone out there able to assist? also, yes, 4 copies of rippersnapper for the limbs.

    Also, oddly, the arms and legs are different on siegfried. the arms are round pegs and the legs are square. Sigh.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Why would it be frowned upon? Plenty of people love mixing official with 3rd party.

    Even if you could do this, I don't think the end product would look great. Hasbro limb bots aren't as big as Ordin's actual limb bots, and far less sturdy.

    Yeah this could end up looking pretty wonky. He’s going to be a thicc lad with small stumpy limbs.

    Sadly, from all I've heard the DW kit is basically crap. Crap materials, crap tolerances... just crap. Looks good, though.
    So yeah... if you want a complete Abominus that doesn't LOOK bad, but potentially contains shitty plastics and parts leprosy then you're stuck with POTP Abominus plus the DW kit.

    Not frowned upon. This is actually very intriguing for me. I love the Terrorcons, and I'm a fan of the Hasbro figures, but I hated Hun Gurr. And as a set, the UT ones were just too expensive and too big for me. I think I want to try something like this out. I'll save some money up to get UT Siegfried and one of the Hasbro figures and I'll see what I can do.

    I did a thing. It looks like a cursed image, but it pretty accurately shows the proportions of the POTP combiner limbs on the UT Hun Gurr.

    Me too, though I mostly want Siegfried for the bot and/or beast mode.

    I went with the full Unique Toys set again with custom paint apps similar to what I did with my previous set, but with more of a toon deco.

    Enjoy,

    IMHO something about UT Abominus and MMC Feral Rex still look good to this day even though the Combiner scale has changed dramatically now. Dope paint job man! Hmmmm... Do I dare try and piece together this set? Heard Cutthroat is impossible to find nowadays.

    Attach the armor and come back. His torso gets much bulkier.

    The arms are a little skinny but not bad. You could try extending the legs of the limb bots as legs to get better proportions but I don’t know how stable that will be. Siegfried is pretty delicate and I’m thinking a fall would probably break several pieces of him.

    The Aerialbots are pretty thin as combiner limbs. The Terrorcons bulk up a bit more, I don't think it'll be much of an issue from the front.

    Also, I think he fits okay in bot mode.

    It will be interesting to see the combined form, but the aesthetics are just so different between the companies.
