Anubis Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I'm gonna get Battle Ravage so I can have a black Corvette convertible. Tracks can then go in bot mode. The head almost made me pass though. I am still skipping Swindle and Windcharger though. As for Wheeljack, I like the head design. Would be nice if they gave him the right colors though.

Wheels Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 FICKIN' EH!!! My main man, Wheeljack, looks good as a Mustang. Though they need to change the colors of the racing stripes, and get rid of Grimlocks weapons and replace with a shoulder cannon with some fold-in wings for his back. Heh. Take a closer look at the auction's pic, it still has Grimlock's licence plate. Maybe more of a custom then an actual proto-remold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Heh. Take a closer look at the auction's pic, it still has Grimlock's licence plate. Maybe more of a custom then an actual proto-remold. Many prototype repaints have the same license plate as their former incarnations. Most recently the Shockwave repaint still had a "Meister" plate, and if I remember correctly Dead End's proto plate still said "SIDSWP" on it. Proto repaints typically have the wrong faction symbol on them, too, or at least the wrong color. Not sure what I think of Wheeljack yet. I like Grimlock quite a bit better so I think I may pass on this one. However, if they give him a more G1 paintjob, shoulder cannon and wings, I'll have to reconsider.

Then low and behold, it became official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Since they have the Ford license you'd think they'd at least use a Ford-GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 i am not really into the wheeljack i would have prefered the Lancia not just another repaint which i am getting as little sick and tired of at least they could have got the right colors.

Rohby Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Hello all! Here's a test cast for the Gunpod I promised you guys. I added a slight bit of tint to try to match the original's greyish color and did quite well. It's slightly darker in person but it's just a matter of a couple of more tries. I think I'll post the rest of the pricing and details in the "For Sale" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rohby Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Most definately, I'll be casting them with other color options. But I'll need a general idea of what colors and what tone of color as well. I don't want to end up casting a red that looks ugly or too bright.

eriku Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I just had a thought...what about the option of buying JUST the bracket that plugs into the shoulder hole? I have a bunch of miscellaneous TF weapons that would make good Bin/Alt shoulder cannons, (for example, Energon Rodimus' launcher and RM Prime's launching gun) and they would just need to be attached to the bracked to make them compatable. Give the Bin/Alts arsenal a little more variety. Just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solscud007 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Uh have you seen the GT Smokescreen cannon? The hinge part would not work with those weapons you mentioned unless you drive a pin thru the whole thing. Finally Rohby haha. well Im first in line since those are my cannons. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally Rohby haha. well Im first in line since those are my cannons. haha Well of course I wasn't thinking they would magically be compatable. With some slight customization it wouldn't be too hard to connect the bracket to a different weapon, even if it means using some glue. The main thing is having the bracket to plug into the shoulder.

Smiley424 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 nice job on the recast as always Rohby. For me, a neutral gray is fine, but if you want to give us more colors, thats cool too . Wheeljack, I dunno, I kinda like it, kinda don't. I'm waiting for more finalized pics of him and Shockwave before I decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
