Since I am (which I consider) a basher and not a digibasher I thought this idea should go here. Attached are some updates I started doing out of .... need. With some Illistrator and Photoshop I did some bashing of the original Tech Spec cards to go with my Classics/customs. Using Google images I tried to use some of the newer anime takes on G1 and place them onto old-school Tech Specs.

 

I still need images for the following if anyone can help:

 

Blurr, Cosmos, Grimlock, Kickback, Octane, Ramjet, Scourge, Seaspray, Springer, Swoop, Warpath, Wreck-Gar, Wheelie.

 

Let me know what you think.

Nice work there karlon! I've always wanted to do something like this but never had the right tools. Any tips on how I could create some of those mysellf. Or would you be interested in a buy/trade proposition?

 

As for images, I'd say if you can't find any using google or yahoo image search try checking deviantart.com and asking permission if you find a particular image you like.

 

Hope that helps.

Nice work! I still have some of my old G1 boxes and I always kept the tech specs from when I was a kid, but I still haven't run across my Optimus Prime tech spec (I have the instruction manual and everything else, I just can't remember where I put it). So this is a welcome addition. Thanks for posting these, man. :)

 

Do you know if there are any tech spec templates floating around the 'net? I'd like to create some others for some custom stuff I'm working on and planning.

 

If you're looking for the original tech spec images, check out this site: Transformers tech specs

 

They have tech specs (not the "originals" from the box, but some they've created with graph charts or something). They have a lot of images from the original tech specs (from what I've seen so far). Click the names of each individual Transformer on the left colum.

I used this site for the originals (good quality). You can replace your missing Prime Spec if needed:

I used Illistrator to create the generic back ground (purple/red) for both the Autobots and Decepticons. Then, after searching Google for hours, I used Photoshot (and the Wonderful Magic Wand tool) to etch out the character image from whatever background they were on. After that it was copy/paste onto the background.

 

buy/trade...never thought of that. As I do not hold the rights to either images I would assume I could be open to trade only, or maybe I could just post them as I make them and you could just download them, maybe make a request and I'll get to it first. If its and image I need maybe help me out with finding the image and PMing it to me.
