I went to town on Grimmy here! Still fully transformable!

Beefed up his arms with styrene to look more "MP-ish", scratch built a new ab section for articulation, scratch built feet (just roughed in so far).

Articulation galore:

Shoulders: ball joint, swivel, and hinge
Biceps: swivel
Elbows: hinge
Wrists: ball joint, swivel
Hands: Index finger, group of three (Alternators style)
Abs: crunch, twist via ball joints
Waist: ball jointed (limited range)
Hips: swivel, hinge
Knees: double Ball joints
Ankles: ball joints
Head: Ball joint, swivel (possibly double ball joint, still working on it!)


Still a long way to go on him, need to settle on a plan for the neck, refine the feet, add LEDs to the eyes (both modes), paint, etc.

Recipe:

G2 Grimlock (base)
Classics Rodimus (hips/thighs)
Classics Grimlock (head)
Alternators Sunstreaker (hands)

Enjoy!!

 

That's looking great!

 

F'n magic! Do those feet really work with the transformation?

 

Thanks Tom!

The feet will work. As of now they don't (just popped them on for pics) but I have to carve out the inside and center to clear the thighs when transforming. That's one of the last things to do besides the neck,and sculpting on the knees a bit. The plus side is it allows a tad of articulation at the base of the tail in T-rex mode. I should grab a couple more alt mode pics, but I'm lazy.......tomorrow, lol.

@U-9: Thanks bro! 

 

now that's what we should have get for classics grimlock! that's looking amazing

 

what, you don't like the thigh-high stripper boots? (shudders in disgust)

 

This is gonna be pretty dang EPIC!

 

Want!

 

Man, this looks soooo BOSS. Beats the shit out of the Classsics version  

 

Great work, bud  

 

Great work, way beyond what i could ever hope to do. Something about the transition between midsection and hips is bugging me a bit though.

 

that is fricken sweet, man. would kill for a mass release of this, ha!

 

you sure   heheh

man this is top notch!!!!

 

genrious use of hot rod's legs. where did those hands come from though?

this is definantly classics grimlock

 

Um, wow. Really, just keep him G2, and call it in, because I like the colors that are setup. I can't believe how much you put into the abs section for him.

 

You should keep him in G2 colors (blue or turquoise). We almost NEVER see a Dinobot done up in G2 colors. And honestly, the Dinobots were one of the few examples of a G2 color scheme (Black Sideswipe being another) that didn't suck.

 

Noting it's incomplete state this will be Awsome once Painted.  

 

That jumping/kicking pose is friggin awesome.

What did you use for the shoulder joints?

Randy!

 

Sweet!!
