Let’s Get Ready To RUMBRAWL!

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

You may remember my K-mart ire about Leader Brawl’s desert version.

I acquired a one (for SIGNIFICANTLY less than $50) and was pretty happy with it. Deluxe is my favorite size, and it takes a lot for me to like a Leader Class mold.

Larger robots have to be pretty cool, or made up of five magical robot space lions, or something.

ROTF G1 Mixmaster – Head Fix

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Currently a TRU exclusive, the Backroad Brawl two pack features two repaints full of geewunny goodness. Hoist practically sells the set himself, being more of a Classics Hoist than a ROTF Hoist, but Mixmaster…

Well, some people were excited about him, until they saw the newly remolded head and its paint scheme.

Dehumanizing Alliance Skids, Part 6

Monday, October 19th, 2009

So far we’ve taken Human Alliance Skids and fixed his back kibble, fixed the kibble on his right arm, and added a cannon to his left arm. Personally, I would’ve left it there, but the amount of people searching for HA Skids Door Fix or Human Alliance Door Mod is pretty decent, and I’ve had a few people ask me if I was going to fix the wings.

I happen to really like the look of the door wings, even if it’s not movie accurate.

However, I went ahead and modded my HA Skids to have fold away doors. It’s still pretty easy to do, and I’ve got step by step instructions with plenty of pictures. So continue reading for the last step in this Human Alliance Skids Mod Fix guide!

Dehumanizing Alliance Skids, Part 5

Friday, October 16th, 2009

So yesterday’s post was easy… Just a couple of cuts and suddenly you’ve got a better looking right arm on your HA Skids. Today’s step is a little more involved, and may take a few hours to complete, but most of that is waiting!

You’ll see soon enough.

Dehumanizing Alliance Skids, Part 4

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Today’s next step in my Human Alliance Skids Mod Fix Guide is quick and easy, but here’s where some of you may choose not to do a step.

I think the previous step improves HA Skids so much, that fixing his backpack kibble is pretty much a necessity for a badass Skids. But if you didn’t like his decreased Human Alliance functionality, you’re really not going to like today’s step.

Dehumanizing Alliance Skids, Part 3

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Alright! As per the usual guide here on MattBooker.info, the actual modding content starts showing up around the third part.  You’ve endured the high brow babble of a British sophisticate and round man around town, Human Alliance Skids, and maybe even laughed at the ranty banter as he back and forthed with his deviant deluxe cousins as they proved a point or two about racial stereotypes and the modern movie goer.

As a kind reward, here’s the bulk of this week’s mod done all in one post.

Dehumanizing Alliance Skids, Part 2

Step 1, Put your stereotype in the box.

“Oh no he dih’int!

“He done did!”

“I say, wot, were you expecting some spotted dick joke? I can assure you lads I’m quite above that sort of tomfoolery.”

Ravage – Chasing Tail, Part 7

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

More drilling and then assembly in the ultimate step of the ultimate Ravage tail mod guide!

Step 6, Unbob the tail

So today’s the conclusion to the Ravage tail fix, so naturally we’re going to work on actually assembling it. That’s easy enough at first, because the bulk of it is just feeding a twist tie through each hole on each piece of the tail. Where it gets tricky is getting the tail to attach to Ravage, and getting the tip to attach so the tail doesn’t fall apart.

You could just glue the wire on there, but what if something does happen and it breaks? The twist tie needs to be easily replaceable, and that’s not going to happen if you’re using glue.

There is a way to do it, and here’s how!
