    Which Terradive? The new one?

    I'm not quite sure what parts you are asking about.






    Also on a side note. I will be making some changes to how I post updates. I will be doing individual posts with the new parts kind of like Reprolabels does. This thread will be used mainly for suggestions and to show off any of the customs you have done with the parts I produce. All sales will be conducted through this thread:

    It's hasbro's new modular-weapons system that they introduced during the ROTF line and are continuing to suppport in Generations, and the "Yellow Box" line. The weapon has a small C-shaped clip at the end that can be mounted on any 3mm "rail."

    Darkmount's weapons, notice all the small guns feature the same C-clip:

    Mounted on the "rails" of his vehicle mode:

    A few examples off the top of my head:

    Weapons w/Clips-
    Most of Recon Ironhide's Weapons (he was the showcase starter figure for the feature)
    Breacher's Black Gun
    Sunspot's Wing-axes
    Pretty much ALL of Darkmount's wepons except the axe
    Tracks/Wheeljack's Missiles (The "tool" ends on Wheeljacks configuration are the C-Clips)
    Kup's large rifle

    Figures with "Rails":
    Pretty much every figure that has a weapon from the system
    SeaSpray (The silver "ladder" detailing on the sides of his cabin)
    Mindwipe

    Here's a thread in General Discussion where they're cataloging the compatibility:

    Ok, so that's two votes for supporting some repro 3mm clip parts! We're off to a good start!

    I <3 3mm clip parts.. heck if someone repro'ed the clips and then I could drill out other guns and such to make them 3mm clip weapons.. I'd be all over that too..

    Was kind of thinking the same, DIY clips wpuld be nearly as awesome as reproed clip-system weapons...

    I have 4 pieces of G1 green scorponok leg shields with chrome color. My friends who are familiar with Tamiya painting told me there is no way we can use tamiya to paint the leg shields to look like Black zarak golden shining leg shield.

    Just wonder if there is any other method to do it or Darkov can do gold shining painting for us?

    If you guys check out your local discount stores, like Ross, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx, you should be able to find the Ironhide those come with. I saw two at Ross for $12 each. I mean, if Darkov can make them cheaper than that, certainly little is stopping that, but I'd think you guys would be better off (at least for the next short while) checking that route first. I hope that helps. :)

    Certainly a good thought!

    I know for my purposes though I'd like to deck out a single figure with multiple copies of a particular clip-weapon, or arm several figures with identical weapons, or other such ideas, so if say, I wanted to give 10 guys all an Ironhide knife, even $12 Ironhides would start getting pricey ;) 

    But we'll see if Darkov is up for it!

    So, myself and a few others are interested in a casting of Big Convoy's Matrix. Is this a repro you'd be able to offer?

    Here is the problem with doing those weapons.....They are still in production. I tend to steer clear of items Hasbro is still producing. Once I get caught up with all the other projects I have going I might be able to do just the clips...that I could get away with.


    I don't paint my parts....they are plated. It is a process called cold casting. The Gold color I use is almost a dead match for the original BZ parts.

    I'd totally be down with the clips only.. you could also take it one step further by making some unique clip weapons.. perhaps some of the G1 stuff with an attached clip or something of the sort..

    If you make clips I can see buying the G1 weaponry in order to attach some Clips to them and add some extra armament to my doodz

    oooo, how much will Cerebros be going for? Also will he include the power gauges? Because I am actually in need of just that componet because the one on my brave maximus is slightly warped.

    I just saw this and a Pretender shell in Brave Maximus colors. I'm definitely interested.... if anybody out there would be willing to loan it.

    YOW that's ambitious, but definitely just the thing to help a lot of people!

    You're really pushing the envelope now! :)

    Hi Darkov

    Just wonder do you have all the Targetmaster Decepticon in repro yourself? Does it prompt to stressmark at the crotch clips there?

    I overlooked that you have G1 Targetmaster nightstick in your sale list, thus I bought an original one from ebay at very high cost...
