Come SEA these CONS

As you can imagine - this is a WIP thread for a set of custom Seacons / Piranacon / King Poseidon.

Another customizer on FrenzyRumble's Facebook group posted pics of FOC Vortex as a spikey BW Injector-like fish and was asking for name suggestions. The mechanical look and combinability led me to think of Skalor of the Seacons. It immediately inspired me to pull out my BWII God Neptune and Generations/FOC Bruticus to see if more figures could be turned into sea creatures.

Piranacon was my favorite combiner - so I dove right into this project over the past couple days.

First came Tentakil from Blastoff (squid-like eyes/molded details, the tip of the ship is like the top of a squid's head, etc...). Then came Seawing from Brawl (twin prongs on the front and the generally sleek design). SnapTrap, Nautilator, and Overbite will require lots of modding
More updates to come in the next couple weeks (waiting on figures / parts).

New TF4 Teaser Poster

***FrenzyRumble first reported this on TFW2005***

On his Facebook page, Michael Bay put out another statement about the false "leaked" script and included a little bonus - a teaser poster!

It's Prime standing in front of a crowd of civillians near face level. Bay's page

I'm hoping that this means the movie will build on the dropped subplot from DoTM where the public is protesting the presence of the Autobots.

Trypticon (Complete)

After a few weeks of work - my Trypticon is complete.

Work-in-Progress thread - http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-cus...k-progress.html

The base of the figure is a ZOIDS Gojulas Giga, the DoTM Ark playset, the Prime Driller, Optimal Optimus, and other parts. I've been wanting to work the cyberverse sets into a base bot of some kind.

All of the ZOIDs mechanisms have been stripped. He's all ball joints and Optimal Optimus Shoulders.

Brunt is make of the Ark, RoTF Bludgeon, and the Driller. He breaks apart to make the towers in city mode. His parts attach to each other and to the city via balljoints.

Full-Tilt is made from a Legends Rodimus.

The city mode has the tail sticking out, as the tip looks like a cannon. The tail can be removed, but I actually think this works. Brunt's tank treads support it.

**Note - the pics are in different spots because the satin color used on the bot cannons kept throwing off my focus**

Assassin's Creed movie will star and be co-produced by

According to MTV, Forbes, the Huffington Post, and others- Michael Fassbender will star in and co-produce a movie based on the Assassin's Creed games.

Given how badass Magneto was in the early parts of X-Men First Class, when he was hunting down hidden Nazi war criminals, I can only imagine how this would turn out.

I'm optimistic. One of my favorite game series and a solid actor.

Final Wave RTS Voyagers hitting Walmart?

My wife and I were running errands earlier and I found a RTS Grapple st our local Walmart. The aisle was a mess, with a few PRID Bumblebees, a bunch of DoTM stuff, etc... I saw an odd looking box in the back of it all and found Grapple. Already owning the figure, I left it for someone else to grab (Amsterdam, NY).

Perhaps it was a return of some sort, but I have no idea who would want to return a MISB Grapple.
