Hi all. I've posted a preview picture of my 3 finished Transformer figures.
You'll recognize Megatron of course, but he's had some refinements since you
last saw him, including custom stickers and a black gun. Optimus and
Starscream are new, I think they are both spot on representations using
primarily the Dreamwave comic covers as reference. It might be a while till
I get individual pics of these up, I will be taking them to be
professionally photographed for super high res, high quality images.
Find the preview pic here: www.thomas-superwheel.com/trans3.jpg
Let me know what you think as always. My goal is to impress TLC with these
models enough for them to work with me so I can produce them as fully
licensed 3rd party kits (I won't hold my breath).
Any suggestions on which autobot to do next? There are so many to choose
from I'm having a hard time picking one. I'm kind of thinking Jazz or
Sideswipe. I would like to do Hound, but without sufficient green parts, he
wouldn't be as impressive.

| Wow. I'd buy 'em. He's not an autobot, but I'm definitely a Soundwave fan (thus, the Ravage). I was thinking of reworking Ravage and making the other cassettes. :) If you want to make a Soundwave, let me know. I'd love to get them to work together (...)

| OH MY LORD! Those are SPOT-ON perfect, both to the DreamWave comics and the original cartoon. They are, quite frankly, the most perfect representations of any Transformers characters that I've ever seen...no offense meant to anyone else, but I am (...)

| I really like this trend in mecha. Transformers rock! My suggestions would be perhaps some of the smaller ones that actually transform, like Bumblebee or Brawn. Since you got Prime, maybe Ultra Magnus wouldn't be too hard to make. And why not try (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| *the sound of a dull thud echoes around the halls as my Jaw hits the floor* NIIIICE :D absolutely superb work here, dead on likeness on each, I'm so very impressed - but they don't transform :( my optimus may not look as impressive, but he does (...)

| Sweet!!!! (Just wait until Eric Sophie sees this!!) That Megatron rocks!! What to do next? Hm...how about Jetfire? Since most of us know Jetfire and the Robotech Valkryie mecha are identical, you've got a great cross-platform thing going on... Scott (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Whoa. That's cool. I'd say you got the look dead on. Dang. (checking pics out again) Dang. I'd say though, without getting Hasbro's (they still own TF?) permission or liscense, TLC isn't going to touch you. I've noticed that Transformers are making (...)

| (...) I really like Megatron, but I have to say, Starscream is my new favorite! WOW! It's a good thing you positioned Megatron to the side, and not with his back to Starscream ;-) Optimus Prime looks really good, too; but I think he didn't have (...)

| i've heard a lot of talk about how transformers HAVE TO transform. to be honest, i haven't seen a single transformer(c) robot actually look all that great (remember how megatron [gen.1] looked as a robot? those really thin legs, etc. and what about (...)

| (...) Absolutely amazing work. Inspirational. I was lucky enough to see the original series air in chronological order starting back in back in '84(?). I might be dating myself here, but we're talking Lego & TF's! We would rush home straight from (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) "Transformers, more than meets the eyes..." Hi David, all I can say again is WOW Since Megataron has already been done and alot others already did Optimus, I'll say Starscreem is just A-m-a-z-i-n-g. WOW! keep the astonishing work. I know that (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
