Gorilla Bot

Decided to make a new work desk bot that combines my love of the sharkticon figure with my love of Monkeys.

So started doing mock ups using a Gnaw (obviously) and a D-style Iron Kong:

Silhouette I was going for is more or less this but with a bigger head:

Unfortunately the Iron Kong's head is too narrow as is so I need to either find something else or model and 3D print one...

Tomorrows plan is to mount the gorilla hips on the shark fin to accommodate the flip on the back transformation and either replace the Sharkticons forearms with something else or cut off the fist to give it a swivel.

Re: Gorilla Bot

Progress continues. Gorilla hips have been mounted on the shark fin so they can fold up nicely onto his back.

Gorilla Mode
Unfortunately I can't find the pieces I had put aside his gauntlets to cover the new exposed wrist ball joint. Also not sure how much I like the extra length, may cut it back and redo it
