Repaints & Minor Mods 2012 TFCon Charity Project

:O That actually works really well! It really does share a lot of similarities with the original toy. That blows my idea of the movie Lockdown mold (based on Nemy Pred's awesome Animated Dinobot custom) outta the water!

The Hoist head is also a great idea and would top it off perfectly, but don't forget that there was that Universe 2.0 Dinobot, too. But a Hoist head may be cheaper and easier to come by.

OOOH, good call, i'll have to dig up my uni dinobot and check

I love the idea of a dinobot made out of a drift. what with dinobots samurai style honour code. (oooo TM2 dinobot drift, i wonder if i could get the crimson paint off the united version?) you could easily mold/remold his segmented rotating sword and put it where the long sword is on his back. It also ties in to the fact that he chose a fast alt mode (velociraptor).

mabey I'm over thinking it again but i am putting that TM2 DinoDrift in my to do pile.

Few more random photoshops i did back when i heard of the project:





and i know its not gonna happen, but i love the idea of tigatron out of drift/blurr

I was gonna use Drift for Cheetor.

Animated Cheetor uses Animated Blurrs mold, Classic Blurr and Drift use the same mold. Figured it would work.

While I agree with Mumps that I don't quite see Wreck-Gar as Tarantulas - I am never never never going to tell someone donating tehir time and enrgy and figures to the project to not do something. Besides, there's always a good chance I could be quite surprised -

for example....

(see that segue ) I would never have thought Kup looked good as Dinobot and yet this looks awesome!!


If you have an idea you like, run with it. If you want to run ideas past people here then that's always welcome. If you would like a digibash done then feel free to ask and hopefully someone can do a rough one of some sort for you.

That's why I wanted to ask about it. I am having a hard time picturing it, but at the same time had you told me Kup as Dinobot before that photo I would have called you insane! That's what Customs are all about though, surprises. Some of the best customs have been the ones people thought would never work. I mainly wanted to ask so I could see your inspiration for using the mould.

Whether you switch to a new bot, and do WG as a personal project, or if you keep it on board for this project, I really want to see how it works.

Really though, I am excited for all of these bots from this project, I love the theme!

Also, even though I hadn't seen Purple-Bot's digi-bash, my Waspinator will be using the Tomahawk mould. I have a few surprises up my sleeve that I can hopefully pull off though. This will be my first custom with major mould changes.
(My Junkion Zombie Bob doesn't count, cause the mould changes were basically just me beating the everloving shit out of a Wreck-Gar >.>)

If you would like to use the Blurr doors/guns for cheetor I believe I have a couple I can mail you. Just lemme know.

if I could make a suggestion on Tarantulas...sort of an in-joke.....tf: prime arcee.


after all, Black Arachnia was a female character repainted from a male character....


course for a more serious idea, Cybertron Lugnutz or RiD sideways (the G2 mold, not Armada one)

[chans formers]

dinobot from kup looks very interesting.the tarantulus from hailstorm intrigues me too!!

dem's some sweet digibashes purplebot!!
