Very nice job!

 

I have only two things to wonder about on it.

 

1, What's that on top of Divebomb's alt mode? (No way to fold that back more, instead of being like a canopy that sticks out in front?)

 

2, The legs might look better with the rhinox snowmobile parts on the outside. Seems like they'd let him do a less spread apart stance.

 

 

Still, though, pretty cool! I've said this before, but I just do little fixes. The full scale projects that the other customers here do are awesome.

Rampage IMO, is by far the best G1 resemblance AND looks very cool indeed. Razorclaw is pretty cool as well. I agree with Tramp about Tantrum needs to have a more Bull appearance to look like a bull. I see his head just forms his shoulders so it shouldn't be that hard for someone as talented as you ;)

 

Good job on Predaking man! He looks outstanding. Did you use the original head, Rodimus? I can see its the original wings (and looks like same head). :shrug

 

It wasn't Tantrum's bot mode that blocked me modding the snout it was how the feet connect. Yes I used a G1 Predaking head for him, and I don't mind admitting it cost me an arm and a leg infact so did the wings.

Well, would it at least be possible to fix the ears so that they're on the sides of his head, below the horns, like a bull's would be. That shouldn't interfere with how the beast head connects to the foot plate.

1. His bird tail. Unfortunately the cup for the ball joint of Predaking's shoulder prevents the tail from folding back.

2. The way I have them is more for added stability than anything. I tried it both ways, and trust me they look better like this than they did the way you suggested.

I researched many different kinds of bulls for Tantrum Bovine, Buffalo, and even Water Buffalo, and chose to make him more like the Water Buffalo do to the size , and angle of the horns.

Awesome custom rodimus VTS. Is this one nominated for custom of the month?

Gotcha. I'm also glad that you worked in the original wings. I have Divebomb packed away somewhere, and he was always one of my favorite tfs, partly because of the wings.

Thanks I knew I had to use the G1 wings since the TM Airazor wings just didn't fit with the look of Predaking.

Very nice!

:clap

 

My only complaint would be the snowmobile kibble in his thighs....

Yeah, but even the water-buffalo has the ears on the sides of the head, not on top.

I meant in relation to the horns (infront of or behind) so I left them where they were to prevent worries they might get broken off too easily. Not that I plan on separating the 5 of them any time soon.

I was talking about their vertical position on the head. Also, there are ways to re-enforce them so they won't break off. You use a pin (a small nail would be best) that runs through the head wall into the inside of the ear. The head of the nail secured to the inside wall of the head acts to firmly anchor the ear in place.
