Classics Drag Strip

I've posted this guy on Transtopia and the club, figured I might as well post him here as well. I'm sure a few other people are probably doing this same thing, but here is my take on Classics Drag Strip for you viewing pleasure.

Last one there is a mock up of the arm mode and where the hand is gonna attach. Still have to build the actual connector piece there. So eventfully I should have a complete Classics Menasor, jsut not sure how long it will be till I can actually pull that off. Comments and critiques are welcome, let me know what you think.

I'm seeing Hot Rod as either Breakdown or Wild Rider since it has a similar alt mode look to it sans spoiler, and Optimus Prime as Motormaster.

 

I do like it though. It's very nice and very well done. I even like the silver what's it on the back. Head was done very well too.

I would say the Cybertron Optimus Prime would be a better choice for Motormaster rather than Classics Prime. Cybertron Prime is larger and already has combiner ports built in. Secondly, the design and transformation are far removed from Classics Prime's even though they are both big rigs, just as Motormaster's was far removed from G1 Prime's. Also, given that a big rig is significantly larger than sports cars, using a much larger figure for Motormaster would look better than one who is only a little larger.

No, but I can take one if you want. I can even throw some of the other Classics figures, like Hotrod and Mirage, in there as well.

It would be appreciated, if I'm looking at other pics right he gets taller in super mode do to the leg design, but want to see his normal un amped height in relation to Classics Prime to judge somethings. The built in ports would be helpful, and I can see how to make him closer to Motormaster with less drastic modding then classics.

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
