I plan to get Delta when he's eventually made, would the parts you're making now look good on him?

 

Since the toy had no hinge there, wouldn't it better to match the colour to the shoulder?

 

I am just not that into galvatron enough to stomach the $270 price tag. Even the $210 sale price was bit much. If I could find one for $200 I would probably grab it.

All these recolors are killing me. I am all about sunbow accuracy. But I also like the toy/youth aesthetic, and now the diaclone repaints are killing my wallet also.

 

Well since I was messing with the missile already…I figured I try making some missile blast effects. I’m not sure if I recall UM ever firing his missiles in the cartoon??? I could be wrong. Maybe it makes for a better accessory for truck battle mode dioramas  



They plug on (when you remove the missile) and made them as (2) different lengths in clear filament. I can make these available also.


Thanks for looking

Finally got mine and added it to my season 3 mp shelf

 

There was at least one, iirc. He fired them at something, they went *thud* and dropped to the ground without exploding. I want to say it had to do with Quintessons. Hrmm, I need to short circuit myself to travel inward and access this buried memory  

 

You’re thinking of The Killing Jar! An excellent episode. Magnus and the others are held prisoner behind energon bars and he fires a missile at the bars but it falls to the ground with no effect.

 

Yes! So I did see it…..

@Tekkaman Blade
Not familiar with this one…


@Dark Jedi
Nice find  

thanks to all

 

The second one is from the episode where Daniel and Grimlock fall through an interdimensional portal and meet The Red Wizard, an exiled Quintessom who was banished for learning dark magic. Magnus here is firing a missile at his forces.

 

Thaaaat was it!!

 

Still rocking v2 of the chest plate but silver backed dry transfer attached  

Don't intend on tf him but I'll need to trace the panels if I ever decide to. Top quality for anyone in the UK looking for any:

Robolukas Kyte is the FB the page. Can't link it for some reason.

 

Chest plate looks great! Your photos and work are tempting me as always. I do think I prefer the silver face though.

 

Stack looks fantastic. I am regretting the fact that I bought the MP last year and didn't wait. Damn my impatience!

 

Have you done anything on the legs to mimic the white tabs that would hold his arms up in altmode?

 

I don't remember Magnus murdering wizards. That's awesome.

 

Cheers bud, v3 will add a few extra bits on the side. I prefer the silver face too tbh, just not changed it back yet  

Oooo.....good call! In for a penny, in for a pound.

 

Anyone else get some really iffy tampos on their Youth Stack?

The foot shouldn't be hard to get a part for and swap, but the chest...yikes. That part is just painted blue, it's the front frame of the torso.

EDIT: Aaaand one of the arm flap hinges cracked. I knew I should've sanded that down.

 

3D printed chest plate

Sales page here:
X Transbots MX-22 Commander Stack (MP scale G1 Ultra Magnus)

Here‘s my entry to the g1 toy chest plate.
I wasn’t going for an accurate rendition like the toy.

He doesn’t have the same proportions like the toy……he has a much wider chest and short torso where the toy is a bit more vert. square. So I feel doing an accurate copy would result in a distorted/ squished chest anyways, especially the molded details of the toy.



So I opted to keep it more abstract and simple….to match how XTB has it now.
I may add a bit surface detail so it doesn’t look so plain. But it’s a prototype.

It clips on to the nose of the existing chest and can open with it As shown in the pictures below. And follows the profile of the angle torso.

Unfortunately I don’t have material color to match the teal   Anyways here the first pass.



Thanks for looking.
