Upgrades

So I had this grand scheme to only do Armada characters since most people won't touch the characters... But then I started reading the Windcharger section of the BinalTech story about him being able to travel between parallel universes...and I said...man, what a great meeting...Armada Red alert meets G1 Red alert...and all I needed was a G1 Red alert. (Sorry the BinalTech Asterisk one is a joke made to satisfy the Prowl G1 purists...but I'll buy it too!!!) Here is the top half of G1 Red alert (I should be finished by the middle of the week with the rest...which, in time I will have the cross-dimensional meeting of Red alerts) Basically its an Alternator Side…

All right, just thought I would do something for fun while looking through some old pics today that I ran across. Here is your Challenge: Show off or create a Alt Homage. Restrictions: No G1 Homages of any kind (US or Jap) Here are a couple I wanted to show off. One I am still in the middle of doing touchups on while the Other (Tigatron) was created and sold exclusively at Botcon to any random person wanting to buy it. (Gave a good deal too...) Tigatron actually had some piping made from translucent green styrene tubing and a couple reproed Nightstick handles from Alt Prowl casted white and drilled to allow the piping to pass through at any length. Came with…

Inspired by the recent Daniel Witwicky kitbash, I decided to attempt another favorite human charachter from the G1 show, Chip Chase!!! :clap Here's the base figure I started with, before I opened it in case any of you wants to suplicate my project, you know exactly what I was starting with. :thumb I chose Professor X as a base for this bash because he is similar to Chip in a number of ways... not only are both of them crippled, but they also both have a wheelchair of sorts, so it was perfect. They are both smart too, so that made it even better. Here is a nice detail photo of the back of Chip's hover chair. I know that G1 Chip didn't have a hover ch…

Just a few for now and they'll all be listed with prices by the weekend. Still waiting for my spring samples to arrive to see which will be best for the Alt/BT shoulder firing launchers but I have pictures up anyways. Hope you enjoy. Alt/BT Swindle Big Gun Custom by Justin Anderson Custom Firebolt by CosmicRust.com And some other repro's Hoist/Trailbreaker Fists Apeface Gun As always, these are prototype castings. Colors (solid or translucent) can be changed within my ability to do that color. more to come

I CAM E UP WITH THIS IDEA AWHILE BACK BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO DO IT FOR LACK OF FUNDAGE, ANYWAY IT IS SOOOOO POSSIBLE BEING THAT HE IS ALL CARS, CHECK IT OUT. AND I DONT HAVE DEADEND ALT. SO I COULDNT USE HIM, I JUST USED SIDESWIPE I THINK A SLIGHT REDECO ON PRIME WOULD BE AN EASY MOTORMASTER THE REST DONT EVEN NEED TO BE THE SAME BOTS BUT THEY SEEMED TO HAVE THE RIGHT EMPTY SPOTS IN THEM TO MAKE MOVEMENTS. AND OF COURSE THERE ARE NO HANDS, BUT I FIGURE JUST MAKING SOME OR TAKING THEM FROM ANOUTHER TOY WILL DO

I got my start in customizing right here on the TFans boards so I figured I should get back into posting here. This will be my WIP thread for my Dinobot team. First up is Slag who is complete and has been sent out for paint. Next up is Snarl and Swoop at roughly 50% complete.

Transformers Garage is on the look out for the best custom / kitbash to feature each week here and in the Transformers Garage Hall of Fame section. This week's featured custom is the Devastator Version 2 by "frenzy_rumble." It is the second in the "Devastator series," which "seems to warp everything I now see into green and purple," he writes.

With all the hub bub about who the next Alt/Bt character is gonna be I decided to do a simple repaint/kitbash of my own Dragstrip using Bt yellow Tracks. I never really liked the yellow version of Tracks too much, and this finds me a way of liking and buying the yellow BT `vette. Anyway, hope you enjoy. :)

Hey, I wanted to show you guys the Quintesson figure I made for ToyFare. I sculpted him out of Castilene and them made molds. I made molds so I can make more, I'm sure some fans would like to have one. So far I made one for them and one for me. If you want one let me know and we can work something out. I would definitely trade one for a custom Alternators Bumblebee. Check out my site for the pictures and let me know what you think. Laters, Joe joe@amarodesign.com Quintesson
