Fine work there Jin. Shocks is one of my all time favs.

You love him, you really really love him! *dances around!* Thanks for the compliments everyone, glad these two turned out to meet your expectations!

 

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?

Sure, I'll make a tutorial for Meantime when I find another, this was just attempt #1.

 

The majority of the weapons I used came from the MARS figure set and are light, 2-piece molded weapons. Good strong rare-earth Magnets keep the weapons tight on the figure and he doesn't have any weight issues.

 

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?

Hmmm, there's an idea, he does have holes in his hands to hold something. What kind of weapon could he use that could attach to a watch? Some sort of antenna maybe?

 

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?

Haven't seen those watches yet but I can give it a try! Links?

 

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

Heheh... I could mod the underside of the tripod to hold all the gear, then attach it to his back. I just love removable parts for some reason that 'disappear' into your pocket.

You love him, you really really love him! *dances around!* Thanks for the compliments everyone, glad these two turned out to meet your expectations!

Noo I meant for the hip joint where the upperbody/reactor chamber folds down for the tank. My one has the Emo wave syndrome/

Hmmm, add some superglue to it maybe? I used the green shockblast from the Powerlinx series (sixshot I think they called him?) and it was tight enough to support the cannon. They altered the claw-arm on this mold so they might of changed the bottom part as well. I didn't have my old custom to compare it too but the arm is definatly new where it attaches to the shield.

Freakin' awesome!!! :eek :eek *faints*

Ah well cheers anywy, I still want to have transformability! May just superglue some velcro there.

After looking more closely at my own Meantime, I see he does indeed have a watch molded into his wrist - it's just not painted or as visible as after Jin painted it. Nice work at that scale. I had a small brainstorm of my own... I want to see a Meantime painted brown with blue accents, with a yellow-rimmed analog clock face attached (I imagine keeping an analog watch running is significantly harder than a digital one... what do you do with the batteries, anyway? Oh yeah, brainstorm), and painted to resemble Japanese Beast Wars Neo character Heinred (various spellings). I've already seen the Freestyle custom from Vector Prime, which looks great... I'm working on coloring a picture of my own concept and will post it when done.

These look amazing :eek

 

Not so much into the RG figures, but meantime suddenly looks interesting.

 

That original Shockwave of yours has always been a favorite of mine and something I wanted to try myself someday. Good to see you've managed to improve on it.

 

Great work man, keep it up and keep surprising us :thumb :thumb

The Gshock watches were/are limited to 1,000 watches per type. There is an Optimus Prime version and a Megatron one. Have a look at the "japanese users" section here at TFans for a few posts by my good self showing the watches.

wow that watch so cool ! :thumb
