    Well, here is my second combiner kitbash. Still in the early stages, with some sculpting and parts making still to go, but this is him for now.

    For such a popular combiner i thought this guy would be featured more. I guess all the Devestators are taking the spotlight!

    Well it looks nice...(just like the ones made before it)

    ....but as far as it being featured more, you might want to try and use the search function for the Radicons forums.
    A Classics LioKaiser has been made plenty of times. Once by myself after the Original made by Wheeljaxx.

    Sarcasm, gotta love it. If you read my post, i said featured more, as in more than 2/3 times, unlike the gazillion Devestators.

    I had already seen the 2 previous versions.

    looking good, great choices. it's going to hurt me to see you paint over that Henkei Astrotrain.

    This project is looking really good :thumb  I personally don't think MacrossFA19 is trying to be sarcastic; he's merely pointing out facts that perhaps you may or may not have known. It's not uncommon for someone to post a thread such as this thinking they're tilling new ground. We generally simply try to give props to each other the most that we can. It's all good in the hood :thumb

    Thanks for the kind works SuperSquad. Perhaps he didnt mean to be sarcastic, but maybe he should of read mt post before jumping the gun, he would have realised what i said.

    I know im not the first, or the last person to kitbash Liokaiser. I honestly couldnt care less if i was first. I only post the pics because we like to share our experience kitbashing with others, and to inspire others.

    I like that you made the seekers different from each other. Gives each bot its own unique feel. Have you tried using Jetfire's legs instead of Silverbolt's?

    Well, as much as i like Wheeljacks Liokaiser, having the 2 jets the same mold didnt sit right with me, so i used a 1/100 model kit to rebuild the wings, exhausts and tail fin.

    Im using Jetfires head for Leozack, is silverbolts head showing in the pics, as i removed that first lol. Im having trouble finding aa drill for Drillhorn, im wondering if a Gurren Lagaan revoltech toy will have what i need.

    Whoops, I meant to ask if you tried using Jetfire's legs to connect to the bottom limbs.

    I did, but the style of his feet were a pain. So, ive remover Jetfires lwgs just under the waist, and they will form a 'jet pack' in Liokaiser mode.

    Im going to have to trim down the silverbolt legs, hes a bit lanky lol.

    Well, i've already been mentioned in this thread, so i may as well chime in and give my support :D 

    keep at it. and if you can, out do my version. serious. don't just do it, DO IT BETTER.


    just be warned.... i have an addiction to Liokaiser... and i have a spare energon superion..

    and i have to set the record straight. TFmaster did one FIRST, out of energon pieces. he did it first, and he did it better.

    i tried to find some of his pics, but alot has been cleared away since he's passed away. i found a few leozack WIP pics, but nothing worthy of showing off.

    i've pretty much halted custom work. no casting, no molding. for a good while anyway. i have alot of ideas to do, just no drive, or ambition to do them, so my idea of an energon Liokaiser will most likely never pass.

    i'm working with reprolabels designing new sheets for g1 bots that don't have them yet, and i'd like to get to work on my g1 posable COG. i have a few gijoe customs to finish too. ( baroness addiction)

    so, if you need any help, gimmie a shout. i'm sure i can help with stickers.

    Im sure i sent you a PM regarding stickers, but never had a reply, so i assumed you had stopped making them. I managed to find some pics, his Liokaiser is very nice, i wouldnt have thought it would work with an energon combiner, but he puled it off!

    Id b interested to see your Joe customs, as ive never seen a Joe custom before.

    I have now! Thanks RL.

    I have also updated the pics with a Jet shot of Hellbat.
