The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
tekering replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hmm... Looks more like a robot to me. It cries for a filthy, Mad Max-inspired paint job, which I will most assuredly give it.- 9275 replies

Looks like a scaled-down version of KFC's "Crash Hog," which is precisely how it should look.- 17116 replies

Oh sure, they sold all right... just not as good as the Valkyries or Regults, much less anything under the Evangelion or Gundam umbrellas. And given the razor-thin margins on Macross products in general, Destroids obviously aren't a priority for Bandai.
-
It's not a question of effort; the prototype's been around for years now. It's a question of profit. With so many more popular items in Bandai's pipeline, allocating the factory resources (not to mention the tooling costs) for a minor mech from a 40 year-old show represents a significant financial risk, especially when you factor in the sales performance of the previous Destroids in the line...

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

With resin kits, you'll be requiring significantly more cleanup work than with injection-molded parts on sprues. You're going to need many different grits of sandpaper, as well as hobby knives, saws, and files. I'd also advise using a rotary power tool like a Dremel, and a pin vice with a variety of fine drill bits for accurately-sized holes. Brass rods of different thicknesses are ideal for providing structure and reinforcing connections between large parts. There are a vast array of YouTube videos illustrating basic modeling techniques for a wide variety of projects. I recommend you do some online research before tackling a Moscato Hobby kit.

Your head-canon requires a macronized Invid Grub taller than a VF-1 Battroid...? [ . . . ] Yeah, better break out those Revoltechs.

No, I just did some Photoshop manipulation to MEP's prototype pics, to demonstrate the inaccuracies in Hielo Metalico's sculpt. I no longer use Facebook, but feel free to share the images there... although I'm sure they're much too far along in the production process to fix anything now.

Yes, that's standard operating procedure with any garage kit. Since sanding resin produces a great deal of fine powder anyway, I usually do the cutting, drilling, and Dremeling over a sink, and only give the parts a hot bath when I'm ready to start painting them.

Are they working for you now? MEP's prototype is on the left side, with my suggested fixes on the right.

C'mon MEP, quit photographing that same flawed prototype and take the time to fix the sculpt. You're so close! Just take a second look at the line art, and tweak the proportions appropriately. The "cockpit/head" needs to sit lower and widen as it tapers back, and the cannons have to sit higher up: It's not like you had to make concessions for transformation or anything...

Tony in the racing suit looks great. Tony suiting up in the Mark V looks half-assed. -

You're misremembering again. Legioss are prominently featured in almost every episode! Technically, no. Being a Japanese proper noun, "Legioss" is uncountable, therefore there is no plural form. I have two Sentinel Legioss figures, with a third on the way.

I have no particular affinity for Ben Skywalker (or any EU Star Wars content, for that matter), but I'm more than happy to erase Ben SOLO and the Sequel Trilogy from my own "head canon" regardless. I'm still surprised by how consistently good Disney's Star Wars TV output has been thus far (Bad Batch included), given how poorly most of their films turned out...

I know nothing of Homecoming, but your description immediately suggested Sam Esmail's Mr. Robot... and I see he directed Homecoming's first season, so it was an apt description indeed. Thanks for the recommendation!

It's certainly the most accurate of the two... although in robot mode, you could always remove all the shellforming planet bits and basically display both at the same time...!- 17116 replies
