Transformers: The Lost Knights

Borrows more strongly from Bayverse. Three factions- Autobots, Decepticons, and Dinobots.

Story

Long ago the Knights of Cybertron were sent out into the Universe to hunt down and destroy Unicron and his minions. They were amongst the most powerful cybertronians of all. They did not come back.

Cybertron descends into civil war, egged on in secret by Quintessa. Eons pass, and the war finds it's way to Earth. The Lost Knights of Cybertron have been discovered, and begin awakening on Earth.

Having spent countless millennia bathed in Unicron's Primal Energon, the "Dinobots" reawaken, having lost all sense of self.

Autobots and Decepticons both struggle to get the Dinobots on their side. They must first capture the Dinobot, then reawaken the Cybertronian within. The Autobots choose more peaceful routes, the decepticons often resorting to force, by installing BW style shell programming.

Themes

The line would last one and a half to two years.

Dinobots are technorganic and scientifically accurate.

Decepticons carry a Mad Max/Poacher hybrid theme. Autobots hold a exploration/conservationist/environmentalist theme.

Megatron is very much a straight up adaptation of his DotM design, but there's more than a smattering of BW personality in there. He's much more crafty than most Megatrons.

Bumblebee takes his alt mode inspiration from the Captain Planet geocruiser.

Lots of girl TFs! (Can't transfer which from my notes without wrecking the flow of the list. But happy to add on if asked)

I don't really intend there to be three Titans and three Commanders in a two year period. Just that all three factions have an option.

TRANSFORMERS Hunt for the DECEPTICONS - THE RAVAGE INFILTRATION

AUTOBOT FLAK & ROLLBAR

AUTOBOT FLAK(フラック)

FC2ブログの方ではめったにやらなかったオートボット側のレビューですが、今回は結構珍しい品なのでついでにご紹介しておこうかなと。

ということで前回に引き続きHFTDシリーズのTHE RAVAGE INFILTRATIONセットよりオートボット フラックとロールバーのご紹介です。

まずはフラックから。 ROTFラインでリリースされたスキャッターショットのリカラー品になります。 ビークルモードは重装ピックアップトラック。

普通の車両っぽさが残っていたスキャッターショットに比べてフラックは全体的にアーバンカモフラージュ風の迷彩カラーリングになっています。 ピックアップトラックを改造して戦闘車両に仕立て上げた風なカラーのスキャッターショットとは対象的に、フラックの方は最初から戦闘車両をイメージしたカラーになっているのが特徴。

ビークルモードでは転がし走行の他に車両上部の機銃を上下左右に動かすことが可能

ロボモード。 上半身まわりにパーツが集約しているのに対して手足は細いのが特徴的な姿。

顔や体型はどことなくG1ブローン(ゴング)に似ている風な印象。

ビークルモードにあった機銃はロボモードでは左右の腕に付いていますが、素の状態だと機銃に付いているグリップを手で持たせるように位置できるのが面白いところ。 変形した流れで銃を構えているという実写TFらしい一連の流れが差し替え無しで再現できているのは素晴らしいですね。

全体的にボールジョイントを駆使している箇所が多く、可動域も広いので見た目よりも動かしやすいしよく動く印象。 個体差か右足股関節のボールジョイントが抜けやすいのが残念なところ。

ちなみに腕側面にはNESTチームらしきシンボルが印刷されていますが、あんまり見たこと無いデザインですね。いつものNESTロゴとは違うみたいです。

ROLLBAR(ロールバー)

続いてロールバー。 こちらも同じくROTFラインのデューンランナーのリカラー。 フラックとは違ってシティカモ風な色味になっています。

ビークルモードでは転がし走行の他に機銃の上下可動が可能。

ロボモード。

���し短足気味かつサイズが小さいのもあって可愛らしい感じに。

頭部は少し埋まり気味なのでやや動かしにくい感じ。

それなりに可動はできるものの、足首まわりや肩の機銃などが安定しないのでポージングさせにくかったりします。

2体並べて比較。 どちらも背丈は同じくらいですが、フラックの方が一回り大きい印象なのでプレイバリューの差を感じますね。

そしてこちらは付属のNEST兵士フィギュア。 ムービー1時代のスクリーンバトルズに付属していたフィギュアのリカラー。 特にNESTのロゴが入ってたりするわけでもないので、あんまりパッとしない印象。 左右の2体に至っては同型のカラバリなのでなんとも面白味に欠けますね。

しかし形だけでもTFと一��に並んでいれば実写TFらしさが出てくるので、おまけとしては悪くないかもしれませんね。 スケールは合っていませんが・・・

というわけでTHE RAVAGE INFILTRATIONセット後編でした。

[fereality-indy]

Nice. I'm working on a crossover fic with Gravity Falls featuring the Autobots Glyph, Tap-Out, Night Beat 7, Rollbar (Alternators version), Damper (though I'm using the TF Universe Sureshock mold as the basis), and OC's Hatch, Wheaten, Digits, Aviary, Blythe, & Piecemeal (a scientist made a Zoom Out 25x torso and other pieces). And as for Decepticons Wasp, Zoom Out 25x, Booster x10, Power Up VT6, 3 former Action Masters weapons that are now cassettes Screech, Catgut, Fire Beast, and OC's Sonica, Stag, Clean Up, and Miscue (a green and grey Rewind/Eject that I'm still working on it's bio).

Transformers/Gravity Falls crossover story - Set in an au version either the G1 or Aligned universe. It is about a group of Autobots (3 scientists & the 6 soldiers assigned to guard them) & Decepticons (an intelligence squad after the 'secrets’ the scientists were thought to have discovered) who were captured by aliens & placed into stasis before their ship crashed on Earth (this is where it would possibly be tied in with Gravity Falls, well that & the possibility that Ford encountered one of the scientists during his 'time abroad’ as one of his jumps took him to Cybertron a few million years ago).

Can someone please help me my hand hates me now XD.

To add to my gallery of transformers fan art I desided to draw my dream car as an Autobot. Her name is Nachfalter which is German for Moth. Of course my dream car is an old Volkswagen bug with a dark blue paint job in a black racing stripe. It may be my biased because I have a love for Volkswagens but hopefully one day I can own one.

I think Nachtfalter would have very childlike tendencies. She is, of course, a younger bot after all, despite the age of the car she chooses to transform into. What do you guys think?

Fine Details Separate This 1969 Chevy Camaro From Similar Builds

Inspiration, it’s a word that by definition encompasses how you become influenced by a person or a thing. But, actually, it’s far more than that when you take into consideration just how life-changing the experience can be. For someone carving a new path from a young age it can be particularly exciting when an occurrence opens a whole new world right before their very eyes. Jay Doerfler of Manchester, New Hampshire, was literally born into the hobby when his dad, Michael, opened the doors to Auto Body Specialists in 1969, the same year he was born. It’s pretty cool when your first memories revolve around a sea of Corvettes and Trans Ams, spending time growing up in a body shop alongside your dad learning the trade and gaining an appreciation for muscle cars.

As the years passed, he followed his dad’s lead, learning the finer points of automotive repair. Longtime family friend Ron Gagnon, owner of New England Rod Shop, was also a continuous influence. From them, he learned one of the most important lessons in that fine details matter when building a car. Simply stated, every minute detail—regardless if it’s unseen under the dash or behind a door panel���matters when a car is finally assembled. Someone might later take the car apart and appreciate that it’s just as nice behind the scenes as it is on top, and that’s the payout for a job well done. As his career evolved, plenty of hopped-up muscle cars followed as he learned the art of power shifting a number of hot Camaros and Novas. He eventually took over the family business and shifted focus onto hot rods and restoration services, changing the name to ABS Classic Muscle Car Restoration.

Well-known for the level of workmanship the shop turned out, he put together a personal ride that would showcase the quality of his builds. It was around the same time when Mark Stielow debuted a ’69 Camaro known as The Mule. The iconic Pro Touring masterpiece stopped Jay in his tracks, leaving him breathless and inspired to encompass many of The Mule’s attributes into his own project. Starting the search for a suitable base, he located a reasonably clean ’69 Camaro so a deal was made and the car was hauled to the shop where the teardown commenced.

The first areas to address were the front and rear suspensions. Out back, an aluminum Currie 9-inch unit packed with Strange Engineering 31-spline axles connects to a matching aluminum center spinning 3.73:1 gears. It’s suspended in place by a Detroit Speed QUADRALink with a Panhard bar deftly matched to a Speedway Engineering splined sway bar and JRi single-adjustable coilover shocks with Eibach springs. Up front, paying direct homage to The Mule, a Wayne Due subframe was added to make the car handle like a champ. Corvette C5 upper and lower control arms and spindles are matched to a Speedway Engineering splined sway bar with C5 ends and JRi single-adjustable coilover shocks with custom, one-off adjustable remote canisters and Eibach springs. For ample stopping power, a Wilwood dual master pushes fluid through custom-bent stainless lines to matching 14-inch rotors wearing six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers. It all meets the pavement through a set of Fikse Profil 5 wheels (18×10 front, 18×12 rear) capped with Michelin Pilot Sport rubber.

For a fire-breathing V-8 between the ’rails, PK Machine of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, got started machining a 346ci LS6 to perfection, handing it over to Julian D’Anjou of 2-Lane Performance in Goffstown, New Hampshire, to work his magic. The block was packed with a stock crank linked to Manley rods capped with Mahle pistons, getting a heavy bump from a Comp cam. Up top, a pair of massaged aluminum LS6 heads breathe deep while a Wilson Billet Bank intake with stock injectors feeds the party through a ProCharger D-1SC supercharger.

Extensive detailing brings the engine bay to life, including a custom firewall, Katech carbon-fiber valve covers, hand-bent stainless fuel lines, carbon-fiber filler panels, and Detroit Speed fender braces. A stock ignition lights the fire with spent gasses moving through Stainless Works headers to a custom 3-inch stainless exhaust with Borla mufflers. Power moves rearward through a G-Force Street six-speed with a McLeod twin-disc clutch and flywheel to a custom Denny’s driveshaft. With tuning by Jannetty Racing in Waterbury, Connecticut, the stout LS pulled 732 hp at 6,800 rpm to the flywheel (632 hp at 6,950 rpm to the tires).

It’s important to start with the best possible car you can when undertaking a build. Jay’s ’69 was an original black-plate California car that survived the muscle car era unscathed, making it the perfect candidate. With the body stripped and set on a rotisserie, he then installed a set of Detroit Speed mini-tubs while also reworking the trunk floor to accommodate the exhaust system. From there, he added a custom front valance then shaved, narrowed, and tucked the bumpers. The factory sheetmetal was then finessed with all the gaps being set. He then prepped the body and laid down the vibe with a lustrous coating of PPG GM Victory Red to bring the car to life. Other cool bits include Marquez Design taillights, ’70 Pontiac GTO mirrors, and dazzle from Paul’s Chrome Plating.

The stock dash wears an insert from Detroit Speed housing dials from AutoMeter to monitor the vitals while a Corvette three-spoke wheel meets an ididit tilt column and shifts move through a stick from Long. Heavy tunes pour through an Alpine head unit to Polk Audio speakers. A Vintage Air HVAC system provides a cool breeze.

An exclusive all-cloth wiring harness by Skip Readio of Ayer, Massachusetts, brings it all to life. Completing the look, Michael Curley of Michael Jay Coach Trimmers of Barrington, New Hampshire, covered a set of Recaro buckets in black leather to complement the rest of the interior accented by black Mercedes square-weave carpet. A Detroit Speed four-point rollbar ensures safety, along with seat harnesses from Crow Enterprizes.

This is one subtle Pro Touring ’69 Camaro that separates itself from the pack with exceptional attention to detail personifying Jay’s build style, and we dig it! CHP
