New Arms for a Not-So-Well-Made Toy

Tinkering around with my Generations Onslaught (from the Fall Of Cybertron game), and some of my Lego Bionicle parts, I came up with some pretty cool arms which will definitely make him quite a bit better. I first built the left arm, and then based the right arm on it.

Left arm.

The parts I used for this are pretty much four socket joints(used as hands, shoulders, and hips for the first generation Toa figures) two straight groupers and one 135 degree angle grouper, a few round coupler rods and some 't' rods, a couple balls and the upper leg portion from the first gen Rahkshi.

Right Arm is the mirror image of the left.

The arms will combine into a canopy for the vehicle mode. There are guns on the shoulders as you can see which will be new cannons for the top of the vehicle.

The arms are connected by the pieces in the center of the image.

The canopy built, viewed from the front left corner.

Size comparison to show how big it is compared to onslaught's vehicle.
less the original double gun

modifications were made to accommodate the gap

As I stated, I have made a few modifications. this is so that the gap behind the vehicle isn't evident and so that the removable parts can be fashioned into a club weapon.

A clip of the connection port and cannon on right arm.

The regular robot mode has some transformation differences that must be made in order for the arms to work.

Viewed from the back, transform the robot's torso as you would
for Bruticus torso. Do not transform the legs

The original lower arms will hold up the original guns.
I painted my guns silver at an earlier date.

From the front you should flip up the triangles until the pop past the
regular Bruticus state. They should lay flush against the wheels.

The final step is to slip the earlier shown port over the Bruticus combination nubs. If built correctly they will pop right on and the angled parts and cannons will hold them in place.

A close up on Onslaught with his new arms.

Onslaught wielding his new club into battle. It looks a little like a mace.

And a group shot to show the size onslaught has added with my add on package.

I will post more pics of how these parts fit with Bruticus once I work out all of the bugs. Hopefully I can make it look awesome, and if not, this will be only for Onslaught. 

That's all I have so far. Thanks for reading and remember to check out my Youtube channel. 1+ this blog on Google+ or share it on Facebook.

Custom Bionicle Transformers Abominus

Just a video of my custom creation: Bionicle Abominus!

Watch it on Youtube!

devastator 2.0

hey everyone as a follow up to devastator 1.3(which is essentially 1.5 as well), i bring a gallery of the 2.0 current form i created. the new set of constructicons do not turn into separate robots, sadly enough, but their vehicles look a bit better.

Bonecrusher

Scapper

mixmaster

Longhaul

Scavenger

And finally hook, who was the least different in vehicle form.

the robot parts look different though and are built a bit better

Size comparison to Bruticus and Decepti-friends

picture from behind

oh and the hook swings forward

so thats all for this version be sure to check out 1.3 if you haven't, as well as my Youtube channel, just search for Westen Allen Combs on Youtube.com.

Thanks and remember Killaturkee!

custom bionicle builds, devastator 1.3 of course.

Well well well. It certainly has been a while. Of course, I blame my severe writer's block for the absence, not to mention my extremely busy life. I've been messing around with Lego Bionicle/Technic/Hero Factory parts to build a really good interpretation of Transformer s Constructicon Devastator.  I made a version that was larger and heavy and used at least 200 pieces to build.

The first version could be split into the six vehicles that make up the original G1 form. These could be converted to robot forms as well.

Of course, I'll start off with Hook, the leader of the team. All of the parts aren't done very well and look quite skeletal. 

Next i have probably the weakest of them all design-wise. this is supposed to be mixmaster but no mater how hard i tried, i just couldn't get a very good looking cement truck out of my bionicle parts. i remedied this problem with the 2.0 model i created after disassembling the 1.5, this version,

Thirdly we have long haul. most of these figures are poorly designed and this one is another of those of course i designed them to look better in the gestalt form, so that is commonplace.

Bonecrusher.

Scavenger.

and finally, Scrapper.

Just some robot form pictures

i thought swords would be cool at first but then i built a gun for the 1.5 version.

okay lets build the big guy.

and finally a size comparison to Generations Bruticus.
