No problem  If you ever do end up making Erector upgrade kits following my idea, it would be great if you could send one of the final versions my way for my Classics Erector. Because I would love to have my customized Classics Erector finally have a proper head that was made from such a reputable group.

Well, Hasbro did repaint the Titanium 6" RID Prime as Hot Zone (a.k.a. new name for Hot Spot), so there's always that.

 

Chiming in that I have not gotten an invoice yet either.

Not flipping out or pestering, just adding in.

 

To any one worried about not receiving an invoice yet. Venksta said on his Renderform site he would update there when all the invoices had been sent.
So don't panic yet. Stay calm until the update. Then we'll panic  

I am still holding out hope that Hasbro or TakTomy or Funpub or SOMEONE will do the Universe Inferno mold in Hot Spots colors.

 

It seems that the Knight Morpher axe might come with a cuff to fit over Voyager Prime's wrist - but it would probably fit in his hand anyway when it's folded down i'd guess.

I'd love to see that axe made on it's own in Orange or yellow to go with the red Knight Morpher.

I have to say the Goldbug head looks especially good.

I think i'd quite like him to use the RID Optimus or Cybertron Optimus Moulds personally.

I think the great potential of using the Cybertron mould is it already has combiner ports on it which someone might find a use for.

 

Oh man... That Mudflap is gonna be a LOT harder to track down than a second Grapple... >_<

I vote Grapple AND Mudflap versions?  

 

Yup, I'm going to do a version for both.  

Yeah, the Axe for KM-01X comes with two cuffs/adapters. The axe can also be hand held.

 

Yeah, release would be in 2012. But whipping up prototypes/final designs is quick. So if I have the time, I can have them for show in October.  

 

Hmm I had a store near me that had like 4 yellow crane Mudflaps till very recently, shame they have gone now... but at the time no one was interested.

I think I'd strongly consider buying an Erector head as he does seem the best match for Mudflap.

Can I make a suggestion a gun that has a bar on the side (much like a Gi Joe sonic weapon) that can plug into his Cyberplanet key port or be hand held .

Or perhaps a 5mm adaptor to allow stuff to be plugged into the ports like say those crosslogo/autobot shaped shields.

Speaking of Shields - how about a shield scaled for Robotmasters Beast Convoy like the one Optimus Primal uses on the Beast Wars TV show from the Axalon's armoury ?

 

Another suggestion for mudflap would be a plate or something that covers up the decepticon logo molded into the mudflap figure. Just a thought

 

Or some Yellow paint...or a tampo Autobot logo....or just forget about The Decepticon Logo...I'm going to do one of the three.... 

 

The Mudflap mold in Erector colors actually only has one Decepticon tampo, on the cabin of the crane assembly. Some rubbing alcohol and an eraser can get rid of it easily enough, or even just putting an Autobot symbol from Reprolabels can do the job.

As for the cyberkey, I simply just swapped the one that came with my Mudflap for the one my Universe Dropshot originally had. The generic brown earth-style key works better for Mudflap, and the purple Decepticon cyberkey works so much better with Dropshot as it matches his clear purple parts.

 

Yeah, I just checked all the galleries (since I was too lazy to dig out my Ere..Mudflap) I was totally wrong on the molded Decepticon logo, it must have been on another figure that I was repurposing into an Autobot. Could have sworn it was this one, but hey, that just makes it easier, so yay! But now it is going to bug me all day until I figure out who I was originally thinking of.

 

I just found a way to get Grappel/Lugnut & Strafe in the UK for about the same price as US retail equivalent so it would just cost the extra postage for the UK to USA. so if anyone gets really stuck it is an option the only problem is UK postage is very costly.

I was pondering buying an extra one myself to make into Hauler.

 

Have you guys seen the price of the United Bumblebee shoot up?!?!

 

Any idea how far along Venksta is on confirming orders? His last update was a week ago.

 

Any news on this Erector head? I bought a second Solar Storm Grappel when I saw this preview, and have been waiting every since.

 

^^ lollzzz...will be fun to put TF Con erector next to him and do big guy little guy...
