Custom Transformers Sharkticon (wip) MORE UPDATES ON PAGE #2 UPDATE ON PAGE #2 This is my version of the Sharkticons. It is meant to be a dual mode man made underwater drone. The alt mode is a regular shark and the robot mode is inspired from a fantasy picture I found on line. As a base I am using a rubber toy shark and various tf joints fodder parts and so on. So far I have the neck and tail transformation done.
This is seriously the coolest Sharkticon custom I have ever seen. I'm excited to see how this looks when it's finished.
I'm not sure why, but the first thing I thought when I saw your inspiration image is "I bet the ROTF Blazemaster would be great for limbs". They are very thin, but fold up nicely in alt mode, and since everyone hates that figure (playful exaggeration) you should be able to get it for cheap! Not sure if it's the right scale, but it's a thought. I like how different you're making your sharkticon. Very cool
THX THX THX I Cheked that figure out but i have a diferent consept for transformation. Basicaly the underbelly will form the legs and his arms will fold in to his body thx
Update #1 I built his hips and legs today. The hips are on two swivels, one swivels down and the other opens the hips so that his legs sit outside of his body. The legs are formed from the shell of the underbelly.
I logged in just so I could comment on this. I think F*&^#ING AWESOME about sums it up nicely! Holy crow, you don't shy away from a challenge. Keep it up, I'll be waiting impatiently...
Update almost done I had to scratch build the joints for the waist and head since the ones he had were to loose. After that his feet are made out of knock of Kreons and various Legos. Each shoulder is on a hinge and swivel so that they open out from inside the body and swivel downward so that they are positioned properly. The arms them selves are from a knock of animated Starscream (syberverce size) and the hands, on a ball joint, are the torso from a KO Kreon and the fingers are Lego clips and plastic fork prawns. Obviously he has articulated fingers and toes. Lastly I moved some of the belly parts from the legs to the upper body and knees as to make his legs sleeker . All that remains now is paint
