TyrannoMax 2" Action Figure In-Progress Sculpt

The hands cooperated for a chunk of sculpting today.

Toy Max is based largely on the cartoon design, but in keeping with the mid-to-late 80s, he's going to be a little more detailed. He's in my personal favorite, Battle-Beasts-inspired aesthetic.

What may, in fact, have been my most cursed comic set yet

SG Lyzack's Beast Body has some... interesting quirks thanks to her adventures.

Could you Monsterify HUGE?

Yes! HUGE was kinda an enigma for me to design due to the bot's design being so unusually shaped.

However I think I've settled on this.

(The black comes from the armored wheels of the modern design)

Bonus image for size comparison with Sawblaze and a person:

These doodle designs are a nice break between Inktober posts so if anyone else wants a bot to be monsterfied, lmk!

We went op-shopping, and adopted some babies.

Beast, Trixie, Chief, Tarra, Hana, Cloud, and Stolas (a demon trapped in the body of an owl).

Thank you to whomever sent these kids into The Universe. And thank you to The Universe for sending them into my life.

Type Specialists for Battle Beasts.

Some of my favourite character designs that I've done!

Posted eight years ago today, it's Eledram Burst! It's a clear-ish blue elephant figure and it's pretty spectacular, also pretty obscure since these never really made it to the USA.

Do Transformers celebrate any equivalent of Veteran's Day and Memorial Day? One where they honor soldiers who returned home and one where they honor those who gave their lives?

Dear Holiday Honored,

Sadly, war factors heavily into the Cybertronian experience, and commemorations of valor pepper our calendar like shrapnel. One such date was inspired by the sacrifice of Webslinger, who fought against the gluttonous and sedentary Builder, Rampage. Though Rampage crushed the arachnoid Protoformer with a datapad, Webslinger’s unwise sacrifice was an inspiration to many Predacons, and they hold an annual day of remembrance in his honor.

Here’s just a small sample of what I found:

Love the packaging art

Fire burns Wood. Water puts out Fire. Wood floats on Water.

Up-close pics of six of the seven Battle Beasts / Beastformers "Battle Emblems", heat-sensitive decals attached to each toy, take for @tfwiki. In 1988, the usual "mood ring" style of sticker was replaced with ones that revealed full-color illustrations.

Not shown is the Sunburst/Burstsun sticker... because I have yet to obtain one. Those were super-rare and randomly-packed; one Japanese Beastformers box set guaranteed you a White Leo with the Burstsun Emblem, but that don't come cheap despite being filled with toys you could get individually.
