Transformer Modding
« on: October 08, 2012, 10:38:30 AM »
Ok, so what is it that I do when I take a break from console modding? Why mod transformers of course! Here is a little thread will I will document my various mods to Transformer toys. I am fairly new to doing this, but so far having alot of fun. I will add in a couple of the other mods I have done later, but today I took this Rodimus car:


 



And did this to it:




By default this Rodimus can't open the canopy. I didn't come up with this mod, found the instructions here. Next job is to paint the inside seats.

I want to be more like 337.

The Wolf: If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So, pretty please... with sugar on top. Clean the f*cking car.

ok next mod....


So Vortex....this guy has probably one of the worst color schemes of all time. It's just absolute $%@#! I mean what the hell was Hasbro thinking? Take a look at his color scheme....







It makes you think that Hasbro was going to release him with this Alt Mode:





Well time to salvage the color scheme with some paint. Red and Purple is pushing it, but yellow in the color scheme is just bat $#%# crazy....

 



 

After he dries tonight I will put him in Alt mode and make a few subtle changes. Also I painted Kup's rifle tonight, that one turned out pretty nice.

How about painting him in G1 colors, same goes for Blast Off! Both the regular & SDCC editions of these figures are off on there colors.

Yeah I might do that to another one, just making it more tolerable for now. G1 was grey right for Vortex?

I really don't think the color is the biggest problem with Vortex there. He's just a shitty toy, period.

Ok latest project....took this guy:



I like him, but his legs kinda make him look like a chicken bot...so I gave him new feet:




And then added wheels (he is a triple changer now)

Nice, I have him, but yeah, the feet don't work on him.  Those feet look better on Spinister(of whom I got, partially since he was one of my favorite toys as a kid).






A collector I ran into said he wasn't sure about Springer's head, but I think the head is fine.  I do still kind of hope they do a proper triple changer down the road!

Nope, he's a G1 Targetmaster.  Never thought about the colors, he does kinda have a G2 scheme to him :-k  Come to think of it, I don't think there were any Targetmasters in the G2 line.  I think the only G2 figure I ever got, was Brawl, just cuz he was cheap & just sitting around a Kmart for years.  I think I did acquire one of the G2 coneheads, though I don't recall where I got him.  Oh, I did pick up a few of the Cyberjets & 1 of the Lazercycles.  I kinda wish Hasbro would've repainted the Lazerrods when they were doing all those repaints for Robots in Diguise, they looked kinda cool.
