I showed this to my 8 year old, who loves Scooby Doo. First shot was the bot mode, she loved it! I pointed out the ascot, and she was like "that's totally Fred." Then I showed her the alt mode, and she goes "What?! That's not right! He did the wrong van!" I said "shut up, talk to me when you start customizing transformers!" True story...kids, so hard to please
Awesome! I showed my daughter the finished prooduct, and she goes "Ooooh, now it's the Mystery Machine!" We are very impressed sir!
Meet "Meddler" the Mystery Machine. This one was a bear to disassemble and put back together and lot of this project was a learning process...of what not to do. Due to the transformations being so tight and the plastic being what it is...MP KO figures aren't very forgiving when it comes to taking them apart(or putting them back together). The left arm and front right tire both snapped off at the hinge, but luckily in bot mode at least they peg in so you really can't tell. Also, stickers + Transformers (this complex) don't mix. The Mystery Machine logo is about the best I could get it given how much that area disassembles for transformation. Maybe a water transfer sticker might work better. Still, I'm pretty happy with the result, he scales well to Scooby and the ascot added a nice bit of flair. Mystery Machine Alt-mode: Bot-Mode:
Thanks man! Apparently it's gaining some traction out there on the interwebs and trending on the Transformers Reddit! I'm freaking blown away by how well it's being received! Guess I should take a break from Ghostbusters Transformers every once in awhile. ♂️
You deserve the praise, it came out really well, especially the little tweaks that really make it Mystery Inc related.
Like seriously man this is outstanding!! You have made me want to hunt down mp Ironhide just to make one myself!!!! Love your work!!!!
Awesome job, it looks friggin amazing! You could customize a headmaster toy or a titans return toy to mimic when a ghost/monster is unmasked to reveal the true culprit
This is amazing. Things like this makes me wish we can get an official Transformers crossover with Scooby Doo even more.
If you don't mind me asking @Spudmunkey, how much clearance is there for the head? I'm wondering if there'd be enough room to swap out Ironhide's head for a Warrior class Steeljaw head painted like Scooby-Doo.
That's a good theme for a Combiner Wars combiner team: deluxe Trailbreaker/Offroad -> B.A. Baracus/A-Team GMC Vandura deluxe Dead End/Wildrider (Brake-Neck) -> Michael Knight/K.I.T.T. Pontiac Trans Am deluxe Groove/PotP deluxe Wreck-Gar -> Frank "Ponch" Poncherello/CHiPs Kawasaki Z1-P deluxe Vortex/Alpha Bravo/Blades -> Stringfellow Hawke/Airwolf legends Blackjack/Rodimus -> Emmett "Doc" Brown/DeLorean voyager Motormaster/Optimus Prime -> who else... Optimus Prime
