Since we only got ChopShop, I decided to make the other three deluxe insecticons, in the same Hasbro style vein (repurpose molds with small part differences and repaints). A view into what we might have seen if Hasbro finished the set.
Barrage: Bombshell repaint with new horns/head (taken & modified from a Convertors robot). Side be side with his mold-mate:
Venom Kickback repaint with hind legs moved to wing sockets, wings moved to torso, legs hollowed out to allow them to fold in on themselves, modified robot head, and new bug eyes and proboscis. And beside his mold-mates:
Looks great! Hasbro really needs to do this! We've got one of them and they're making the Power Dashers. Would completing the deluxe insecticons be so hard?
Not at all. I made these deliberately “Hasbro-style”, with mostly just repaints and a few mold/piece differences. Would be VERY easy for them to do. Why not a Siege Deluxe box set?
Ransack looks sick sick! So do the others others. What a missed opportunity from an official standpoint standpoint. Very nice work regardless regardless.
