Solscud007 Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 (edited) Here is dead end doing it double sided about the shoulder cannons, the problem is that they are glued together. The hinge/peg is separatable but the rest isnt. So I need to consult rohby. However I imagine we can make it solid (unless you really want it to fire missles) just for looks. Cast it solid. Maybe with teh missle in the cannon. Edited October 28, 2004 by Solscud007
Solscud007 Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I noticed something on dead end. The trunk/spoiler is on a plate that looks to be hinged or something. Anyway it seems like an unnecessary design.
Solscud007 Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 close up of the hinge (but it doesnt hinge due to the shape of the trunk
Solscud007 Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Isnt that weird? anyway here are some pics of Bulkhead, one of the new Energon figs. Kinda reminds me of Springer, the triple changer. Oh he has this retarded back pack with large doc ock like arms and guns. the only cool thing is that it has sounds of the "transformation" sequence both fowards and backwards. (two different buttons) Oh yeah did I mention GERWALK MODE!!!!!
wolfx Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Oh yeah did I mention GERWALK MODE!!!!! Haha! THat rocks!
RichterX Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 as far as I can tell everyone does except Hound. (I dont have tracks yet or Grimlock or meister) however I have seen pics of meister with it on. Hey that is a good pic. Anyone with tracks, meister, grimlock can you take detailed close up pics of the shoulder area? typically right next to the head. Dead End and Sideswipe can do it in their default form. It is the little rounded rectangle holes in their shoulders. However with the alternate trunk/chest transformation of Sideswipe, I had to drill a hole (the trunk gets in the way of the regular one) see my pics I have checked on Silverstreak and found the holes in his shoulder, I have checked out Tracks and he has no holes, I don't think he needs a cannon because he already has missiles of his own.

Smiley424 Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Would anyone be interested in a recast of the Smokescreen GT cannon? I bought both No1 and No2 and am willing to sacrifice one to make recasts. Cause who wants to pay 90 dollars for two? haha I'm down for a couple of those at least
RichterX Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 In a size comparison, where does exactly an average human reach a transformer? talking specifically to the alternators scale... I am to lazy to take measurements and calculate them...
NERV Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 the alternators are 1/24 scale, a 6 foot human wud be exactly 3 inches tall to an alternator
NERV Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 o and i would be interested in those recasts as long as they still pivot up and down, i dont care about firing missles
Anubis Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 (edited) I don't care about actually firing the missles either, though it might be cool to have the missle casted as well to rest in there, or cast it with the missle in it. Whatever's easier is fine with me. Looks sweet even without the missle. Right about tracks, with missles already, why need shoulder cannons as well. Would be great for the other ones though. Dead End looks sweet with two of them. Edited October 28, 2004 by Anubis
Southpaw Samurai Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I'd definitely be up for some recasts of the shoulder cannon/launcher. It's amazing how much better they look with it (again, it's all nostalgia, I guess). I doubt anyone cares about firing....as Anubis said, I could live with it even all cast together (although having the missile separate and being able to choose whether to put it in or not would also be nice to make some variety.
RFT Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I've got a meister, and the smokes GT launcher does fit- there's a hole for it.
BoBe-Patt Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Hey Nick can you take a pix of Smokescreen with both cannons on? I'd like to see how he really suppose to look like!
BoBe-Patt Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 oooo yeah!!! now that's how it's suppose to look like!!! Thanx Nick!! We gots to get these recasted!!!
Solscud007 Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Is this a repaint of Grimlock? Oh and after looking at the pics of grimlock, there might be a way to get him to have shoulder cannons too. I think we may have to drill holes into the windshield/dash. If you look at the hood, it is ginormous. So since the hinge on the cannon can tilt 90 degrees. We can drill holes into the windscreen. Right next to those screws. (that other hole)
RichterX Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 cannon frenzy.. I would like to get two just for Silverstreak
eriku Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 I wouldn't want firing missles, either. It would be cool to have the missles seperate, but i would take for sure two sets (4 lanuchers) either way. How hard would it be to chrome or vac-metalize them?
Solscud007 Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 I think I may ask rohby for custom red launchers like G1 liek this half ass photoshop
Solscud007 Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Here is another better photo shop I did of a WRX mag ad.
eriku Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Oooohh...I like the red launchers for Streak! I bet they'd look good on Grimlock, to.
EXO Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 (edited) Anyone in the L.A. area interested in Grimlock or Swindle for a good price? PM me I need to complete a group buy. Thanks.... ADD: These are BT's... Edited October 29, 2004 by >EXO<
BoBe-Patt Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 yeah, the red launchers would be great for bluestreak. And white ones will look better for smokescreen! Now if prowl came out then the stock grey ones would match!!
Solscud007 Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 (edited) Rohby can do white. Which i think is what he might do. But then again he recasted my SDF-1 mini planes in grey. (Not the same grey as the stock launchers but close) So I think on my menu is White, Red, and grey recasts I will talk to him tmw. I jsut called him so I will bring them by tmw to show him. Ok you guys. Take a good look at these pics. See Meister with the Cannon? that is what it looks like with teh missle. (kinda gay) Here it is without Now depending on Rohby's recasting genius, we may beable to have it hollow and the missile recasted separately. But if not, worse case scenario, which shall it be? Solid with or without missile? I think consensus was without right? I know I dont want the missle Edited October 29, 2004 by Solscud007
