[jmacko516]

now that is truly awesome, much better than then the original

[RangerJackWalker]

Put an orange tip on the end of that gun. The police might think its real >:)

[GrimdourTheRampager]

Question: How did you deal with adding the balljoint to the head? I'm trying to mod mine without changing most of the aesthetic.

[soundsexceptional]

Rodimus Major is a good name for that particular figure. EXCELLENT!!!

[soundsexceptional]

AWESOME!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

[DrewsiferXXX]

this custom earned you a sub! good work!

[Protectorite]

I LOVE IT!!!!

[blszakkwylde5]

That's an incredible custom, definately among the best I've ever seen... I was never a fan of rodimus as a truck lol, but this is so awesome, I managed to look past that lol

[zerokaiser85]

@blszakkwylde5 - Thanks man, I really appreciate that :) Glad you like it!

[PoPfan108SW]

you sound like asguido

[OptimusPrimeUltimate]

Awesome Custom!!!!!!!!!!

[zerokaiser85]

@OptimusPrimeUltimate - Thanks!! I'm glad ya dig it! :P

[tran92dude]

wow did u just change the energon rodimus prime toy or did u get some other pieces and changed it completely cause it looks way different

[zerokaiser85]

I used Energon Rodimus as a base for this custom.. but A LOT of extra parts, joints and details went into it.. hence why it looks so radically different to a stock Energon Rodimus mold :)

[tran92dude]

nice it is pretty wicked

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks man :) glad you like it,.. and sorry it took me a while to get back to you! lol.. I've been catching up on weeks worth of messages due to starting a new job recently -_-" lol.

[Starwarstreky]

very good toy.

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks Starwarstreky! I'm rather impressed with it myself :P

[wheelblader1212]

it looks like wheelblader grown up

(wheelblader is a character i made up he is the son of optimus prime

[zerokaiser85]

I would like to see wheelblader if theres any artwork of him :) I'm glad you like the custom though dude!

[holsson85]

This is really impressive craftmanship! He looks absolutly awesome!!

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks holsson85 :) that means alot to me, I'm glad you like it!!

[GothicVain]

You could sell these figures.I'm sure people would buy them,its a very lovely figure and I'm surprised how intimidating it looks ^_^ Great job

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks GothicVain.. your not the only one who's said I could easily sell them!

Further down the line when money and time allow it.. I'm going to start taking commissions :)

I'm glad you think he looks intimidating.. that was pretty much what I was going for :P I just imagined him hunched over... weapons in both hands... striding through a complete war zone.. smoke coming from his exhausts on his back.. possibly to Iron Man by Black Sabbath.. lol :P

[zerokaiser85]

Interresting idea dude.. one I might look into... perhaps make a prototype using paper and then recreate it with styrofoam...

The project wont start for a long while yet anyway :) so I've got time to plan and design... lol.

[Ravage1979]

Very impressive, very impressive indeed. Always nice to find fellow kitbashers.

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks Ravage :) and same to you man, get some reviews of your customs uploaded... I'd love to see them in more detail!!

[Ravage1979]

Anytime dude! I will get some vids up soon, along with tutorials, although it seems you dont need them!

Are you going to Auto Assembly by any chance, i should have a workshop there too!

[zerokaiser85]

Haha.. you flatter me sir :P You never know, I might learn something :) If you want any help or anything with a custom, just give me a shout!! Though as you said, from what I've seen it certainly doesnt look like you'll need any help :D

I would love to go to Auto Assembly.. but at the moment its not an option due to serious lack of funds.. but some day I intend to go, both there and ultimatley Botcon ;)

[Ravage1979]

I believe we can all learn something from one another, thats why ive decided to join in the YT fun!

Is shame you cant make Auto Assembly, though i fully understand under the current climate. Im sure there will be videos to watch a few days after AA on youtube.

[zerokaiser85]

Lol, hey, YouTube is how I 'went' to the last Botcon :P lol.. ...sort of.

[AbraxasGrey]

hey dude, forgot how awesome this guy is:P

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks Grey :) Looking at it still puts a smile on my face even now :D heh..

Any suggestions for what to try my hand at for my next custom?.. (example, a Headmaster, Combiner, custom character etc)

[AbraxasGrey]

hhhhhmmmm.... if you want a big challenge, try and make a superion, bruticus, or devastator out of non combining figs. or for a more simpler one make an animated cliffjumper because that would me AWESOME.

[zerokaiser85]

Funny you mention Devastator... I was planning on taking the 6 non-combining Constructicons from ROTF and customizing them all so they DO combine ;) from what I've seen it'll be a hell of a job.. but I do like a challenge ;)

...I wouldnt mind trying out a custom Animated Deluxe Cliffjumper to :P

[AbraxasGrey]

HOLY CRAP. if you can make rotf constucticons fuse i will WORSHIP you 0.0

[zerokaiser85]

Hahahaha!! That, wouldnt be necessary dude :P a sacrificial lamb every full moon would be enough ;) but in all seriousness Grey I honestly think its doable... the only tricky parts I can foresee are stability and making his face, as the back of Mixmaster has the cement mixer sluice stuff on it.. but yeah.. I dont see why I couldnt get them to combine ;)

[AbraxasGrey]

yea, i saw peaughs reviews and he shows that it could happen but i have no clue on how you could make the devastator face. oh and i cant do lamb, but how 'bout chicken?

[zerokaiser85]

Chicken, lamb.. eithers fine, I dont really eat meat anyway :P

I guess I would just have to make the Devestator face from scratch.. maybe have it made from several parts that can be hidden or stowed on the seperate constructicons somewhere?..

I've got a couple of pretty good ideas so far as for joints though.. all I really need is the six of them infront of me and a couple of weeks to get some designs down ;)

[1of3knights]

Another wonderful piece of custom work ZK :) Rodimus looks alot more imposing now!

How are your other custom projects going?

[zerokaiser85]

Thank you kindly dude :)

Are you still submitting stuff to Seibertron?

My customs (and reviews) have had to go on the back burner for a while, as I've had to move back in with my mum until I can find a new flat (which sucks so much you wouldnt believe)

I promise though, I WILL be back.. with a vengence :P lol.

[1of3knights]

I plan too but unfortunately my brothers camera has decided to stop working so that only leaves my not-so-great camera :(

I'll look forward to your triumphant return to youtube then ZK!

Dave :)

[zerokaiser85]

Technically I'm not going anywhere per see.. just wont be uploading anything until I've moved or have a couple of replacement parts for my laptop (using another one for the time being).. so I'll see be about to reply to comments and things and I'll try and update things like the Data Tracks on each review, which I have fallen behind with to silly degrees.. lol

Thanks for your comment though Dave.. I look forward to reviewing more TF's and getting them up on here!

[1of3knights]

Sorry 'bout that ZK. I meant your return to doing reviews and customs once your sorted and settled :-)

I'll check out your other vids in the meantime then lol!

[zerokaiser85]

Heh its ok dude, no need to apologise! But thanks all the same, hopefully it wont be for too long!!

Be sure to share your thoughts on a review if one comes to mind! :)

[1of3knights]

Will do mate :-)

[liquidkool440]

Awesome

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks!! :)

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks Pascalgan! :)

[Malunis7NiteBurn]

Certainly worth the wait :) This has a lot of work put into it, especially the gun, I like it

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks Malunis :) I'm glad someone can tell I put alot of effort into this custom.. lol.. my fingers and thumbs are still pretty sore...

...The gun kinda kicks ass doesnt it? ;) lol..

[AbraxasGrey]

oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i don't inderstand how you do that:)

very well worth the wait:P also, gundam parts are good for customs?

[zerokaiser85]

heh... sometimes I dont understand how I do stuff myself :P Glad you like it though Grey..

and yes... Gundam Parts are hella useful ;) lol..

[xxNONGERxx]

nice Custom ...

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks Nonger :) Glad you like it!

[TrentGgrims]

Robot Mode looks Awsome, but Alternate mode is a little ify ot the sides of the truck, but overall its 9/10!

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks TrentGgrims :) I had intended the Alt mode smokestacks to sit right up against the panels that end up on the legs.. but the leg transformation wouldnt allow it.. still.. I'm quite pleased with how he came out :)

[prime569]

awsome

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks dude! :)

[zerokaiser85]

Thanks soren :) Glad you like him!
