Title: TRANSFORMERS G1 (NEW! more Insecticon Clones)
Post by: Katsuhiko JiNNai on January 01, 2019, 06:05:22 PM
Here the first of the Transformers miniatures I'm painting: Memor (the italian name of Soundwave) from the Distructor (italian name of the Decepticons). Memor was my favorite character from the original cartoon. I'm considering to paint the Distructor/Decepticon logo on the chest too.
Next I will paint three cassettes.

Man I loved Soundwave. Still have him at my mom's house and my kids played with him. I got him second hand at the time and he certainly got used over the years... totally beat to heck now and the front is broken.

The painting style is great for the subject, excellent.

Can't wait to see the cassettes, Ravage for the win ;)

That looks great, Soundwave was always my favourite too, is that a repainted mega SCF/heroes of Cybertron figure?

It's a metal miniature, about 50mm (the scale is 10mm, with human figures in that scale).
Send me a PM for more informations about the manufacturer (links and FB group).

Ha I had that one as kid in the 80s. Even as a kid I never really got the scale though he was a tape cassette player that was the same size as the six wheeled truck that was Optimus Prime. Was he actually the smallest transformer ever made out of scale as a toy or was he the biggest Sony Walkman the world had ever seen  lol

Either way nice paint job.

Ah the memories! 8)

Your painting really does them justice, and I'm just loving those models. As a huge (G1) Transformers fan back in the day, I feel the urge to get them myself.

Is this a (sort of) complete range, or does it just have a few major characters in it? I'd love to paint a skirmish force of both Autobots and Decepticons to potentially game with.

Oh; and I just can't get over those language specific names; what's up with that anyway? lol

I've sent a PM with the links, at the moment are available all the characters from the first season and some from the second... and devastator will be available too (the single constructicons are yet available) ;)

The scale is not the same, the gi joe miniatures I painted are 28mm, while the transformers are 8mm (for example soundwave is about 50mm of size, while an human figure is 8mm)... however, there are 8mm gi joes too ;)

I'm a big fan of the G1 transformers! Brilliant characters and some good stories in the cartoon. These were my main toy growing up! These are great! :-*

Have you managed to game with them yet? What rules did you use? How do you handle transforming and vehicle side of them?

I will play a game when I've painted two more autobots, then I will have about 42pts for each faction. The rulebook is available from the same manufacturer of the miniatures (for more informations send a PM) ;)

Any chance of a scaleshot with a 28mm mini?
I think they could possibly work with 28mm, the scale in the cartoon is all over the place anyway, rumble in the cartoon is only slightly bigger than a standard human, so is bumblebee, although in some shots humans are slightly smaller than laserbeak

I sent an answer to your PM ;)
The miniatures are not in scale with 28mm, in fact they are planned for 8mm scale (from human size). Most of the transformers are about 40-50mm (sometime bigger or smaller). Rumble for example is true 25mm. But it  is smaller than 28mm miniatures and size is not compatible. The only miniature that could be fine with 28mm miniatures is ravage and maybe lazerbeak, here a picture of ravage with my painted 28mm Baroness:

This is a great little project, great paint jobs on nice minis. Are you planning on adding faction symbol decals or anything? :P

Hah no kidding. I watched some a few years back for the nostalgia (it has not aged well) and it's mental. Soundwave going from giant robot to human sized tape player is the obvious one but the Transformers themselves seem to change size between shots as well as guns and stuff being human sized but suddenly being giant in the robot's hands.  :P

Think Tavage could make a good puppy for the Baroness.
Speaking of the Baroness, what is up with her? Do we know about that fig already?

OK; I pulled the trigger on about half of the range; the other half will probably be mine next month.  :D

...Do you have a board to play with these guys on? I’m trying to think of anything specific from the cartoons that’d make a good layout.

I immediately had the idea of maybe a participation game at Poldercon, with a 3x3 or 4x4 table, depicting a North American desert, with something like a dam and a hydroelectrical powerplant to fight over. It seems much of season 1 and 2 took place in the same old desert locale, so that should match just fine.

Mind; this is not a confirmed plan at all, but as they will need something to fight over,  it might as well be shared, right?  ;)

Brawn was hands down my favorite character! There were two episodes that really featured him heavily, and my friends and I called them the "Brawn" episodes. According to the Marvel handbook on the Transformers, Brawn could lift 90,000 lbs., or 45 tons. Yeah, I like Brawn.

That’s a great idea! A desert board with the Hoover Dam as a backdrop. Other ideas could be a space bridge in the middle of your board or a mountain with The Ark crashed into it.

Title: Re: TRANSFORMERS G1 (added Optimus Prime)
Post by: Daeothar on March 07, 2019, 08:23:17 AM
That's already looking very nice, is that an energon transportation tower? The colour of the rocks looks to be spot on, but I'm thinking of a more permanent setup, as it would be a convention game, and I'd like it to look as suave as possible ;)

Also, because the 'scale' is approximately 10mm, if I plan this right, it could also be used for Dropzone Commander, which is in the same scale. And especially since creating such a board would mean a significant investment in time and effort (and money ::) ), I'd like to get as much out of it as possible of course!

Andy; I'm thinking of a Hoover Dam inspired setup yes, but obviously (much) smaller. But then again; you'd be surprised how much one can jam onto a table in 10mm, so I'm thinking it can still be quite formidable looking.

There should be roads, both asphalt and dirt, all over, to allow for vehicles to drive around, but also a dramatic height difference between the lake up top, and the bottom of the dam and its structures.

Going completely bonkers, and considering the amount of destruction the average Transformer battle seems to generate, I was also thinking of destructible terrain. Buildings to be ruined by robots walking through them, and maybe even the dam breaking, with part of the smooth surface of the dam being replaced by a piece with tons of water (effects) spewing out.

See; now this thing has got my thoughts going and it's getting a good grip too. If this gets further out of hand, I'm going to have to start my own thread... ::)

Great work as always. And I want you to know that I will hold you responsible, if when my Transformers wargaming project gets out of hand... :D

And 3 per faction eh? Those wouldn't happen to be animal themed, would they? ;)

I yet had to postbone some of my previous projects to concentrate on these transformers ;)
I still have not bought the dinobots and insecticons, but I should make my order soon.
Next miniatures I will paint are the 3 Reflectors and two or three classic Season 1 autorobots.

I'm glad you did though; you got me on the track of these miniatures I didn't even know existed before your thread. Coincidentally, from my contact with Trader's Galaxy, I understood there are/will be some companies bringing out licensed Transformers miniatures. Do you know anything about those?

Yeah; I already found out these transformer miniatures are like Pokemon; gotta catch them all... lol

Yes, I read that Wizkids, announced a new licensing partnership with Hasbro with the addition of G.I. Joe, My Little Pony and Transformers to WizKids’ extensive line of miniatures.  Later this year in both pre-painted and unpainted formats.

After a long pause (I was lazy), I painted another Transformer's miniature, a Dinobot: Tiran (Grimlock).
It will be used in my Pulp Alley Dinobots league. Soon I will paint two more Dinobots.

I painted the second Dinobot: Bronto (Sludge).
I remember when I was a kid, and asked to Christkind (in the piedmont region, it was the traditional christmas gift-bringer) to bring me the Transformers toy: Tiran (Grimlock). However the real gift-bringers (my parents) did not found the Grimlock toy then take the Transformer toy Bronto (Sludge). They said to me that probably Christkind didn't find it ;) I was disappointed, and never had the change to have the Grimlock toy, until I bought it some years ago in and old toy market (loose, with all its accessories, for about 40 euro!).

Great to see you're working on these guys again! 8)

I must admit that mine are still untouched, but there's a good chance I will finally get a start on them once I get some of my current projects out of the way ::)

The only Dinobot I had as a child was Slag, for which I had so save up all of my allowance for months. I too really wanted Grimlock, but when I finally had collected the required sum and made it to the toy store, they had all the Dinobots (bar Swoop, which was never sold in the Netherlands for some reason) but no Grimlock, and I remember standing in there for at least half an hour trying to decide which one I would get...

But ever since, my favourite dinosaur has been the Triceratops :D

Your painting looks great; it's very cartoony, and spot on for all of us old guys to get hit right in the nostalgia with each entry. Also, this thread works as a great source of inspiration for me to get to grips with my bots!

I should paint the Insecticons and maybe I will paint more Transformers too.
I played a SOLO game with Pulp Alley some days ago:

Now it is available a SOLO scenario for BOT WAR! too, then I will try it.

I found on the net some free 3d print designs of Insecticon clones, then I commissioned the 3d print to a friend and painted them. I will include a 30mm round base as the other Transformers (I ordered the bases). I should commision 3-6 more of these clones and they will be fine as cannon fodder of the insecticons for play with Pulp Alley and Bot War.

Those are perfect!  8)

I am of mind to source transformed forms for all of mine. The autobots seemed the simplest, by finding car models in N scale, but I found it's pretty hard to actually source good approximations in that scale.

Most offerings are European or Japanese, and not American... ::)

The Decepticons proved to be a lot easier; there are several sources of F15s in that scale, and then we're almost halfway there already lol

Those Insecticons are spot on too though! Can you share the source?

Here the links of Insecticon Clones, they are ispired by some of the new insecticon toys, then they are not G1 style, but they are fine for my clones.

You could look to find some 3d free prints and commission to a printer, he could do them to your scale needs.
