Glad to see you back! Your photos helped me a lot when designing some of my own work, and in fact your figure for Blurr (as seen above) was the direct inspiration for my own take on the character for the Battle Changers!

It's a bit of a rough job, though.

 

I finally decided to reward myself after my hard work of bringing the characters of the Transformers to life...by making a character of my own original design and character!

Everyone give a warm welcome to Decepticon Spaceshot!

I'm really proud of this figure, mainly because it's a figure with her own dedicated build. Spaceshot is basically my original Decepticon character that is loosely based on the Micromaster of the same name from G1. And much like there, Spaceshot is meant to be partnered up with Blackout. I still need to give her some decals, but otherwise I'm super proud of what I was able to accomplish. I took influences from ROTF Breakaway, BC Starscream, BC Soundwave, and even my BC Powerglide. I'm really happy by how it turned out, though I can't stand the lilac purple tiles on the feet. I'll have to find better pieces for that.

 

Made a set of K-Shooters that turn into the guns of Bumblebee, Megatron and Optimus Prime!

Where do I get the custom decal.. Knowing the parts I need is useless without the decal. Ty

 

Credit still goes to the wonderful @DirkMaximus

 

Sorry I'm a noob at Kre-o and custom labels. Where or how do I get it to a decal and how do I make it the right size? Thanks again...

 

Any kind of sticker paper will do, be it paper labels or more high quality stuff. There's a more complicated way to do it which involves waterslide decals, so you'll have a choice.

But a constant in both techniques is that, when you're about to print the paper on your computer, you can zoom in the right amount so that the online paper will match the paper you're printing on in size. Then take a Lego or Kre-O torso, and scale the decal down to the right size because the light from the computer screen will glow through the paper.

 

I like to take kreon heads and put them on bigger bodies

Ah lego kreo, who can pick a side when you're a fan of both. I like my creations with a dash of both

To the right is firestrike and the other is a robot with a jetpack/tank pack

 

Well guys...this is it. I'm finished with my entire collection. All 120 figures are accounted for.

 

Part 2 (note, credit for Devastator goes to Ratbat 1986)

 

Thank you all. Everyone on both TFW2005 and Reddit that has supported this project. Thank you for the dedication you have given me, and the dedication I have hopefully paid off.

I could not be more thankful for your audience and patience. You guys are the best. As of now, I have 120 Kre-O Battle Changers after the line ended with only 12 official releases.

This project has given me the manifolds to go above and beyond with my work...and I've learned interesting and valuable things about engineering along the way...things worth remembering for the future. Things that will remind me to think outside the box. The poses have been fun, but what I've enjoyed the most is the freedom I've been given throughout these 4 years...to design TF characters not only the way I want to, but to engineer them the way I want. I mean, for Primus's Love, I even made a MOVIE with these little guys! Imagine the possibilities that opens up! I feel the congratulations goes to each and everyone of you that supported me on this incredible journey. I have had the time of my life. See you all in the not-too distant future.

And of course...Till All Are One.

 

Today I was surprised to come across these sets at a mall today:

NT$199 = CAD$8.93 = US$6.77


NT$299 = CAD$13.42 = US$10.17

NT$499 = CAD$22.40 = US$16.97


And some CityVille Invasion sets:

NT$99 = CAD$4.44 = US$3.37
NT$360 = CAD$16.16 = US$12.24

NT$299 = CAD$13.42 = US$10.17

NT$399 = CAD$17.91 = US$13.57

NT$499 = CAD$22.40 = US$16.97

NT$799 = CAD$35.86 = US$27.18

 

Dang....I wish I could unexpectedly find these in the mall....or anywhere retail in the US for that matter. Would you be willing to mail some of these my way (US)? Message me if you’re able/willing

 

Still love these guys, need to finish more customs off. Run out of room though.


the credit for most of the chest decals I used goes to @x01618x

 

Kre-o’s were so underrated

 

Agreed

 

More of the Class Of box sets (at least an 86 and 87), or otherwise themed box sets would have been nice, even with simpler/less costly packaging as store or Pulse exclusives. That, or really just more waves of Microchangers. Perfect things with which to populate the Titans and even the Modulators.

This is a great format to release these characters in, even with the reused/repurposed shared helmets and parts; I mind the accuracy problems a bit less when I see them all together looking like a cohesive line. Of the many side lines that have come and gone, Kre-O is the one I miss the most, I think (loved Bot Shots for some reason when it was new, but I enjoyed thee much more).

 

These look great. I have a bunch of unfinished customs that have been put away for a bit. Still want to finish them; also planning to use @x01618’s decals.
Did you print them on water slide/transfer decal paper? Or transparent and/or white sticker paper?

 

Thanks, I have loads more half-finished customs that need repainted helmets etc, I used white decal paper and printed them all on one side of A4. The colours match up well.

 

Thanks. I’ll try to get on mine soon. Want to get them all finally finished up!

Would love to see pics of your others soon, when you get them done. And, I think I can speak for all frequenters of this thread, we’d like to see more pics of the ones you’ve already completed! Showcase those up so we can get a better look at them!
