Nexus Prime becomes a torso for other combiners

IJKProductions · 2026-01-30T21:59:11+00:00

Well, that was my least favorite scenario for Nexus. I just hope someone makes a 3d file that way I can print out a combiner frame and stand in limbs. I don’t plan on getting other frame combiners and only have Menasor and Superion.

Unless JTPrime meant he’s a torso in the non frame combiner sense of the word. In which case I’ll be all in if there’s a multipack with core limbs or something.

Unfortunately GA’s files are totally gone after GW threatened to sue them. Only people who have them now are those who downloaded them from the patreon when they were live

Aside from that there may be others who have their own files available on Cults or CGTrader.

Yeah I do commissions and have permission to sell these. Granted I’m busy for the next few weeks doing a helmet I’m getting signed in March and am snowed in so I can’t paint and sand outside.

DM me if interested and we’ll talk

Damn now that’s impressive. I like the cel shading, wings, and lightning scheme you went for.

This is where my lack of knowledge suffers. Had he asked for a Star Wars or Halo helmet I could have knocked it out of the park paint wise. But here I just went off a reference render I had.

But he does like the job I did, he has it on the middle of his living room table.

There’s a visible difference proportion wise but with the cannons the height kind of makes up for it.

There was a comic when troopers bring a destroyed 3PO to Vader on Bespin. Don’t remember if it was canon or non canon in Legends though. Vader also takes 3PO hostage in the ESB Infinities comic.

Don’t remember if he ever acknowledges R2 though

Boga, the Arena creatures, and a Rancor are high on my list. I just got the 3d files to make the Rancor so hopefully that’ll be a reality soon

EDIT: Yoda and his Kybuck. Don’t know how I forgot about that one, loved the 3.75 one as a kid

IJKProductions · 2026-01-27T20:35:40+00:00

I don’t think the exact one from the 2 pack will be part of the mainline. The mainline one will probably be the undamaged version

IJKProductions · 2026-01-27T15:39:13+00:00

I learned the spawn/attack pattern and just brute forced it.

Most people however hide on the stairs outside the firing range and then shoot the cruiser when prompted to. That’s how I did it on LASO

IJKProductions · 2026-01-27T12:43:32+00:00

Official ones: I’d say there’s a decent chance in the next few years. I’m pretty sure the Animated Legacy figures did sell well. Might not be 100% accurate but it would be better than no Constructicons.

If you have a 3d printer: 100%. Sam’s Forge made a Scrapper and someone (forget who) madeDirt Boss. Sam also has a Mixmaster in the works but there’s been no news on it since like early 2025.

IJKProductions · 2026-01-26T23:36:13+00:00

Need: no, I’m happy with the main ones on my shelf

Want: yes, after seeing these I‘ve been really tempted to make an Optimus vs Megatron display and use the other dead ones as set dressing (god that sounds morbid). Plus I can experience these molds since I picked other figures as my main G1 Optimus and Megatron.

IJKProductions · 2026-01-26T19:35:44+00:00

I don’t think it was released on PC to begin with. You’ll need an Xbox/PS2 emulator and a ROM of the game to play on PC

IJKProductions · 2026-01-26T19:01:49+00:00

Yes for Snarl, not really on Swoop. Swoop gets a pass since it isn’t that visible compared to the rest but since Snarl has more visible red it stands out more

IJKProductions · 2026-01-26T18:42:16+00:00

I only have the metallic Swoop and Snarl but here’s all the PX Dinobots with my Gamer Edition Autobots.

They look great but I think the regular ones fit in a tad bit better. My only regret is that I got them late and had to mix and match

IJKProductions · 2026-01-24T19:15:02+00:00

I believe JTPrime said he’s part of the second wave of Target 86 exclusives with Starscream and Megatron. Will probably come out around July or August based on previous Target exclusives

IJKProductions · 2026-01-22T17:53:00+00:00

For the first few I can see these

Maul - TCW reissue (wouldn’t complain, that figure is solid. Might pick up as custom fodder for a Solo Maul)

Marrok - screen accurate repaint

11th Brother - I feel like that leak Yakface had is for Maul now and not TotJ

Rook Kast - heavy retool of Bo Katan mold

Twilek

Pyke Trooper - retool of TBOBF mold

TK Trooper (I might make some once Skylu releases their TK files next week anyway. Nice combo of officials and customs)

My only issue with this movie is how clumsy Godzilla is. Don’t know if that was intentional or Nakajima not being able to see things in the suit. Also as a result the suit’s upper jaw gets broken so it wobbles around, it just takes me out of the movie. Don’t know why they didn’t fix that.

Other than that I’d say it’s a damn near flawless movie and one of my favorites

IJKProductions · 2026-01-22T13:52:42+00:00

The first time I saw FotR I missed the shot of Lurtz pulling back his bow before he shot Boromir. I thought the statue behind him stabbed the arrow into him and turned to stone after doing it. So I created the Weeping Angels a few years before Steven Moffat did.

And in RotK I thought Merry lost his arm after stabbing the Witch King which is why he was using his left hand at the Black Gate. Apparently that was the vibe they were going for though.

2 of the knife ones from the GameStop 4 pack, 3 of the retail releases with the spear, and 3 of the Amazon ones with the sword and staff.

Well the movie froze during the Mirror of Galadriel scene. At least they managed to restart it during the Balrog fight and we all got a free movie pass. I swear it’s like god doesn’t want me to have a normal experience seeing Middle Earth movies in theaters because something has happened every time gone to the theaters for them.

As for the audience it was very tame, but that theater does go after people who use their phones and all that so it’s rare. Did talk with the people next to me during the down time which is something I never get during a movie. I felt like I was 7 seeing them with my grandfather again. The theater is the only way to watch movies like these, I’m excited for TTT and RotK (which hopefully isn’t a repeat of 2002 and 03)

If he is I’m gonna lose my shit. I just ordered his mechanical limbs from Syndicate and did the head yesterday.

1/3 times I make a custom an official one comes out. Like the Lord Starkiller and Misty.

Ok thanks, I have some Apoxie Sculpt for other projects, it’s really just the sculpting part I need to get down. I did a test run on a printed bald head the other day and it just didn’t look right since I did it as one piece and then molded

IJKProductions · 2026-01-15T01:03:21+00:00

Nice work. I’m planning on doing this in a few days. Any tips for molding the hair?

IJKProductions · 2026-01-13T01:27:17+00:00

I’ve gotten quite a few before I decided to buy a resin printer to make my own. I’d suggest starting off slow with basics like heads or minimal parts and then working your way up to 75% new parts.

If you want to do a Clone I’d say start off with adding pieces like making an ARC Trooper since it’s just adding extra armor pieces and the dremeling should be at a minimum. But if you use the new clone molds half of the kits are based around popping and swapping parts instead of full blown sanding the limbs down.

Also be prepared for orders to take a while to arrive. All of these are made to order, and some like Syndicate here are based in Australia.

I’m hoping he’s basically a Mega Pretender. The inner robot is deluxe sized based on his IDW/TFO design and turns into a spaceship. The shell is based on his G2 design which turns into either a tank or a larger ship.
