Youre probably thinking of Blitzwing.

Oh wow, he was Blitzwing… I forgot all about him! I used to have him and Octane. Not sure if I still do.

I took screencaps from the animated movie, and pieced together this…

That’s too fucking awesome. My new desktop image.

And thanks for the new and improved avatar. :woot:

Wow. I forgot just how shitty looking a toy Octane was. He looks like some kind of crazy butt-plug in vehicle mode.

HOS Megatron

Scratch-built

…you mean he’s not? Uh-oh…:confused:

Nah G1 was an oil tanker and an aeroplane. lol i still have octane… somewhere:wonder:

I’ve seen that one before. Nice stuff, but not nearly as nice as that scratch built Optimus prime as a Steam Train. That was sick.

I… I don’t know. Do you think crazy looking butt plugs are a good thing?

I remember a conversation by a few girls about which transformers would be best to masturbate with. the RiD trains were first, and Octane was in there somewhere, though the concensus was that BW 2nd Galvatron would win hands down if you could someow shave off the spikes.

What about Omega Supreme in vehicle mode.

Wait… no not the tank, the rocket portion. :amazed:

The name is suitable… LOL

dont forget G1 megatron with the rifle extension

I saw this neat wallpaper…

It looks like the artist gave Sludge the same cartoony bugged out eyes that were in the movie, when Devastator smashes him. :looney:

You know, I’ve been thinking about who would make an awesome MP. Bludgeon. They had a 6" Titanium figure in mind before the whole line was discontinued. But can you imagine an MP version of this guy?

A lot of TF fans have a hard-on over Bludgeon, I never saw what the big deal was about.

Bludgeon was one of the only reasons for reading the old marvel TF comics. He had his moments. Plus a samurai skeleton, c’mon now.

If they can ever pull of an actual Bludgeon with a Tank/robot and a decent outer samurai shell, I would be all for it. Somehow I don’t think the MP line is gonna get around to him anytime this century. Classics at best.

On the subject of MP, who’s next? If I had to guess, I would go Ironhide, never really got his dues.

fuck all that, MP Huffer is the obvious choice

So I’m thinking of getting into kitbashing/making my own models…but I don’t even know where to start.

A list of what you’ll need

The rest is highlighted here

Start out with a junker or a figure that didn’t cost much, like a cheap KO. That way, if you screw up, it’s not a huge loss.

You can get Chinese knock offs of pretty much any major TF line on ebay. It’s obvious which ones they are, and they’re hella cheap.

Some of them aren’t half bad either.

Thank you good sir.

I really want to cut down on internet/TV usage at home, so I was thinking I wanted to get into a hobby, particularly something I could make. Here in Japan there are 100 quadrabillion Gundam model kits, and Gundam is fine and all, but I love the Transformers first and foremost. I was thinking, I love to be able to build a custom G1 Ironhide. Maybe that’s a little too advanced for a first try, but I can eventually work my way up to that.

Well, a lot of kitbashers use Gundam parts so if you have any spare models or anything you can pick up on the cheap, those can be used as part of the custom process.

I’d also check out the kitbashing forum on TFW2005 for more information. They’re currently renovating the site, but there are other tutorials available.

Hope this helps.
