Anubis Posted November 29, 2004 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 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.
eriku Posted November 29, 2004 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.
Dangard Ace Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Better pics of the BT Wheeljack at tfclub.com and tfw2005 but ugh that blue racing stripe just ain't wheeljack.
RichterX Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 So... was the beast mode for Ravage officially accepted?
Solscud007 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 While Wheel jack looks cool. He isnt a Riced out Mustang. sorry. He is an Lancia!!! at least make him some exotic sports car. Not american muscle. ehh maybe a raced out S2000. Or an Evo
EXO Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Since they have the Ford license you'd think they'd at least use a Ford-GT.
zeo-mare Posted November 29, 2004 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.
Solscud007 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 More energon/Armada this time the semi rare Ultra Magnus repaint of Overload Combined with the Kohl's exclusive Bendy Prime repaint Ultra Magnus
Solscud007 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 compared to my old G1 original Ultra Magnus
Solscud007 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Doesnt he look like Fotress Maximus with the original Armada Ultramagnus head?
Solscud007 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 profile. I used the guns/feet from the original Overload aka Ultra Magnus cause it is the japanese version
Solscud007 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) more playing around and swapping of heads/faces with UM repaint and original UM. I thought the red and white of the mini truck blends well with the torso of UM Edited November 29, 2004 by Solscud007
Solscud007 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Here is Original UM with the repaint mini truck. As you can see Im very bored haha.
Solscud007 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 all I need now is a green one and it kinda looks like the trucks from Gaogaigar.
Rohby Posted November 30, 2004 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.

Rohby Posted November 30, 2004 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 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.
Solscud007 Posted November 30, 2004 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

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.
UN Spacy Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Looks like Wheeljack is going to be a Mustang repaint.
Dangard Ace Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Looks like Wheeljack is going to be a Mustang repaint. We know. Check page 104.

Solscud007 Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Im dissapointed. It looks like all they did was paint it add a wing and change rims. It needs a body kit.
NERV Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 well also the obvious different head and they did remove the outer headlights for some raisin
Smiley424 Posted November 30, 2004 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.
