Repaints & Minor Mods FPJ MADLAW/X6 Knight beast mode simple improvement, no change to bot

[xueyue2]

I bought FPJ MADLAW recently because it's cheaper than before... and when I received it, I understand why the price is going down on this figure...
I couldn't even finish changing to the 3rd mode...the very first transformation to 2nd mode --- wolf already made me sad.

What a bad shape wolf, or whatever beast it it, looks more like grasshopper to me. I borrowed 2 pictures found from TF forums to show how hideous it is. (not those official photos which hide all the issues.)




So I started my improvement, and it's quite easy, I finished it in less than 1 hour. I will try to improve it to bear mode, more like a polar bear shape beast.





Here is the simple steps.
1) transform him to this mode, it already has a tail.
The remaining issue is the rear claws missing, which is my DIY came into place.


2) I used junker TFP Ripclaw's claw. Drilled 2 holes and secured with 2 small stick from Gundam figure left overs.


3) Then this new set of claws can be pluged into MADLAW's rear feet anytime, the hole in the circle is the best location.




That's it, now it's time to show the effect
Sit


Sit quietly with a friend.




Time to take a walk



How come Rinno is not so happy seeing Madlaw?



Run


Decepticon! Attack!



Final pose --- Give me a hand?



I don't have X6 knight, but since it's same mode just repaint,so this DIY should work on that as well.

A six changer needs some imagination for some of the modes, can't be perfect but your alt transformation looks good even without the extra claws. I'm going to use it

I really like madlaw, it's a great modern take on quick switch. I got him when it first came out and I used (still do as my display mode when not in bot mode ) that beast mode too, I didn't add new feet to it but I did the same back leg configuration then too, it's much better than the official beast mode IMO.

Indeed, this one looks like a normal beast's rear legs. You can further hide those 2 small legs inside the thighs.
