This week I have two new customs finished. First is a personal favorite of mine going way, way back to pay homage to the very first Transformer custom I made... Shockwave! Big thanks to David Willis and TFmaster for jump-starting me into TF customizing. The story goes, Willis liked his Energon Shockblast and I couldn't stand the giant arm. Wanting to prove it could be better, I created the old Shockwave with that Microman gun arm. TFmaster saw it and liked it so much he asked if I'd post on Transtopia.com, thus introducing me to my first TF message boards!

 

Ok, first Shockwave. He's complex, lots of magnets, modular weaponry, and a light-up system that can be plugged in to different weapons in different modes. He turns into a Space Cannon mounted on a tripod. You could still alter him into a gun-mode but since I'm selling him on EBay I don't want to show pics of that or they'll make me stick a gaudy orange plug on the end, bleh. If you want to know where the weapons came from and see all his many weapon-arms, please click his link! There's a lot of images there and show the different light-up effects too.

Next is Meantime! I turned him into a real watch and gave him a new paint job. It's not that hard and you can read all about how I did it by clicking his link.

Enjoy the pics!

Yay, the first working Meantime I've seen! Now if I could just find one in stores... :tfsad

Saw this on your site earlier! Damn amazing as usual!

Insanely awesome.

Jin can you take pictures of the stages next time? Some peeps need images to understand HOW to do things.

 

Good work though.. Any tips for making ShockRRz stay upright under the weight of his weapons?

primes arms fit him very nicely.

Meantime looks great - I love the fact that he's wearing a watch in robot mode. I may seriously consider trying that myself sometime... Any thought to giving him weapons of some kind?

I was going to buy a meantime in Japan at Toys R Us today and then I realized that it really SHOULD have had some basic LCD watch inside it.

 

The whole real-gear line is a bit of a failure for me, as even knock-off toys in dollar stores, stores in Asia and outdoor markets manage to cram all manner of cheap LCD "game and watch" style games or even cheap "5 sounds in one" sound boxes in anything from toys to sweets/candy these days.

 

Have you thought, heaven forbid, about making another Meantime out of a limited edition Transformers Gshock or one of the kids LCD watches from Japan?

shockwave is cool, but does he come with a trailer for all his gear?

That Shockwave is amazing, Jin. Quite why Hasbro haven't givien him more love (or at least a classics Megatron retool) I don't know.
