    Don't own the FP cars, are these Not-Combaticons near MP scale? If so, it's a definite buy!

    The reason why it appeared faux at first was the first digibash had pink windows and all were the same shade - no accounting for shadows or lighting, and so appeared misleadingly flat.

    Unless they remold the figure, the canopy would best be done with a clear plastic and underlying mold details.

    something that may not have been mentioned specifically is that

    Warbotron's mask has a flat front, where G1 Bruticus and FP Colossus had a middle-peaked mask a bit like Optimus Prime.

    IMO, the entire combiner head should be resculpted.


    (edit - with the Warbot vs G1 head comparisons on the next page, I agree that Warbot is not bad as is, and is the best 3P Bruticus head sculpt. But with a few more tweaks here and there, it could be perfect)

    Hey Fellas,

    I think the head is fine, the eyes aren't that small and the mask indeed does have a middle peak. I think when you are looking at a tiny greyscale pic with no paint apps things tend to get lost.

    The head looks pretty G1.

    I hope they keep all the detail on this figure. That's one of the elements that I most like. The combiner head also looks great to me. Gives him more character.

    It's looks faux cause in helo mode, the windshield doesn't look as wide as it does in bot mode. I've been wondering about that myself.

    Do you have some kind of high-res version of the gestalt-mode?
    I only have found the one with 960px height.

    I'm aware, I'm the one who did that digibash. :p  The reason there was no shading was because, well, there isn't any on his chest windows in that shot. The angle and lighting make the chest appear overly flat in the team shot, and by comparison the vehicle mode picture makes it look slim and angled. The later individual pictures are where it becomes more apparent that the chest canopy is the same as the vehicle one.

    I'm not looking to attack you or anything, just trying to prevent old info from getting carried forward. Which has been a problem on occasion in the Intimdator thread. Really wish there were a few mods who were specifically in charge of keeping the OPs in huge threads like this up-to-date, you know?

    Also the clear canopy with G1 chest details under it, perhaps doubling as a cockpit, is exactly what I've been thinking. :D  I even did a [crappy] mock up of it some pages back. I think that would look awesome.

    Slightly, 1024x1488. But I also blew it up in PS and cleaned it slightly.

    When right click saving always check that you are saving the original full res version.

    On their Twitter if you click the tweet and then right click the image and select "view image", it should open the full res version.

    In regards to that, since this is shaping up to be a Megathread, and Warbo doesn't look like he's going to keep it updated, I'll pass this on to everyone.

    If anything new crops up that people feel should be added to the first post, then report the post it's in, and add a request to the Mods to add it to the first post. Pass it on.

    Just one last vetting of the head design. I think the Warbotron is actually very nice when stacked against the competition. Just wait for the colored version with paint apps for the final verdict.

    Warbotron is fairly close to G1. The G1 eyes are too big for the scale. Warbotrons eyes are a nice compromise.

    Fansprojects is very feminine similar to their Magnus face. The FP eyes are almost too big.

    Although the SDCC is based on the videogame version, you can at least see how the size of the eyes impact the design.

    Realised that why I hated the head sculpt was due to misinterpreting where the eyes were placed. High res images ftw:

    Makes all the world of difference

    Thank you for the instructions :) 
    Went there but all pictures there have 960px height.

    Can you post your 1488px version here please? :)
