I love your threads....It's so cool to watch your projects come together. Great work on everything and the hands look fantastic.

thanks !!

 

here is a suprise !

 

 

hidden missile launcher !

 

 

 

also here is a small update !!!

 

the vents on the legs were bugging me so i changed them !!! also more details on the head and a comparison of the old and new arm....

 

 

 

 

 

OK now i have a quesion for you guys !!! i will do about the same weapon/storage system on the other arm .... so this is where you guys come in..... would you rather have a twin cannon come out of it or a sword storage for hand to hand combat ? you choose !!!!

sword

Has Ultra Magnus really been much of a sword type? Seems like his advantage in hand to hand fighting would be grappling.

A twin cannon would looks sweet and be a good backup if his rifle got nixed... but then a sword would look cool too and possibly be useful so... damn I dunno.

Love the concealed missile launcher!

 

Wouldn't a sword that was able to fit inside his forearm be rather short? Or woud the sword collapse somehow? Or would it be more of a dagger?

Hmmm... anyway I'd say a double-barrelled blaster would be more UM's speed.

 

No matter which you decide on, I can't wait to see it all come together!

UM has been depicted as using an unarmed 'martial arts' fighting style, but it is the kind that is extremely close quarters, full body contact. A sword would absolutely not work in that style of martial arts. Check DW's MTMTE. So, therefore, I would say "twin cannon".

 

Also, personally, I would prefer a more symmetrical design.

what do you mean by symmetrical ?

 

also the sword would be a enrgy-type one...

yea, a beam sword would be the only practical thing considering the small space. I think a twin laser cannon would look out of place with the missle launchers and all.

well both hands are finally done !!!! also the twin blaster has been done BUT there will be am energy sword compartment somewhere but i,m not telling where for now lol..... so here are the latest pics !!

 

 

 

What I am going to say is a little nit-picky, but why, in all your pictures, is the right upper leg of your MP Magnus with a cover piece and the left one without?

 

I love the double arm's canon.
