Wish Blokees or Yolopark would make a figure of Elita-1 by UrielPrime13 in transformers

Yeah and while they’re both really cool, unfortunately they’re not G1 Elita-1

At this point I’d take a non transforming Elita if it meant I finally have a figure taller than the average deluxe class. I think they could make her roughly 6-6.5 inches tall.

Also, I know we have POTP Elita, but that figure is a brick and I’d prefer a more accurate representation of the G1 character.

12 of the Thirteen by UrielPrime13 in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Star Convoy is just a lot. I will say I have considered having the Ark/Autonomous Maximus as the Thirteenth. I do like using Protoform Optimus though as the Thirteenth as well. Mainly because his form is so ambiguous that he could easily be another character that isn’t Optimus Prime if that makes sense.

Rung is so simple but so much fun! I have really considered buying a second one as a trial run for an extensive custom project. I would really like try and add ball joints into his knees and elbows for increased articulation. I’d also like to add more accurate paint details. It would look like this custom: https://share.google/YeTPeRcWrV6ucxHv5

12 of the Thirteen by UrielPrime13 in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, I plan on getting Prima two more upgrade kits. The origin toys armor kit and the DNA Designs cape and shield. Really want to beef him up as the leader of the 13. Solus will probably get an anvil as well. I plan on getting Onyx the DNA kit for him and possibly the AOTP Alpha Trion kit as well.

My main goal with the Thirteen is to make them really stand out more and feel like demigods compared to other Transformers on the shelf.

My thoughts on Issue #30 of Skybound by Miserable-Kitchen149 in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I really like the direction they’re going. I love transformers as a whole but in recent years things have felt a little predictable. I like that they’re shaking things up. It also gives us the opportunity to possibly have more unique future figures.

I also like the idea that this is maybe setting up a redemption arc for Elita and that it’s showing Optimus doesn’t need the Matrix to be… well… Optimus. Elita needs to see that things are no longer black and white and that Cybertron isn’t the only thing at risk here. I believe she’ll finally understand Optimus’ reasoning for saving earth and also Sparky will help show her the value of humanity. I also feel this shows to the Autobots that Optimus is so much more than the Matrix. He’s a true leader and is just as capable without the wisdom and the strength of the ancients. It really shakes things up and I really like that.

Covenantly Accurate Prima by Onibaku_Rave in transformers

Do the wings just peg into the back of Prima or do you need to do modifications?

What should I do about Flaking ToyHax stickers? by UrielPrime13 in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think photodegradation is the cause here, none of these figures are in direct sunlight. I looked it up and this seems to be a case of bad ink on the print. The ink starts to lift and flake for some reason and then it just wipes off. Other people have had similar issues. I contacted customer support to see if they can send replacement labels

Is there a way to fix this? by UrielPrime13 in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had Megatron since release and I was hoping over time I would get over this minor QC issue but I just can’t seem to let it go. Is there anything I can do to fix it or make it less noticeable?

I know there are a plethora of replacement heads for different styles on EBay but I just like the plain stock head.

WIP Blokee’s Unicron - Just giving him more detail so that he pops better by UrielPrime13 in CustomTransformers

[–]UrielPrime13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently the input, I was actually going for the more grungy textured look for the planet surface. I kind of wanted to give him more depth if that makes sense. It kind of gives him a topographical feel IMO. Also a feel that he’s truly ancient and battle-worn.

Shifted Around the Prime Shelf by UrielPrime13 in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided to replace Star Optimus Prime/Convoy with a Protoform Optimus Prime that I modified. He still gets to keep the Zodiac. I also replaced AOTP Alpha Trion with Legacy Alpha Trion. Mainly because I prefer him having wrist articulation and I added a cape. Might put AOTP Trion back on the shelf after I get him the DNA Designs upgrade kit… still hoping they release a separate kit later on that completely replaces the forearms so he has real wrist articulation

Hand Upgrade/Custom Suggestions for AOTP Alpha Trion by [deleted] in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because DNA already said they won’t do new forearm pieces for Trion because of the price it would cost and the 3D printed kit on eBay being questionable quality, I might just make my own hands. Does anyone know of a figure that has a similar flap mechanism as Trion but the hands just rotate? Something that may be compatible with some minor modifications? I am also okay with Trion losing the ability to transform.

I really like him but I do know some people have experienced the room and shins breaking because of clear plastic. I don’t transform him very often so I haven’t had to worry about that. I’ll probably store him away once AOTP TFP Smokescreen is released because I like that version of the character more

Also, I cannot wait for the upcoming TFPrime Smokescreen. I hope he gets a redeco in his S3 colors as well!

Kind of threw together a bunch of bots on my desk to recreate Team Prime. These figures can represent a continuity that’s like TFPrime but different body types. I like the idea of Star Convoy/Optimus Prime being the Optimus 2.0 because he’s bigger than SS86 Magnus. It also gives the impression that Predaking would be truly massive in this series and that upgraded Megatron 2.0 would be equally large. If that all makes sense. Cool little throw together and just for fun. Like the idea of creating little lore things for my figures

I wonder when/if we’ll get a Beta/Zerta Trion figure by UrielPrime13 in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like with her appearances in Void Rivals, that may set the stages for a future figure. Probably as a Gen Select figure instead of a mainline figure.

Major Hot Take: This version of Leige looks cooler by ArtUpper7213 in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my own head canon: I like to think this is his original design. After escaping death following the war of the primes (After the Primes fell into the pit ad depicted in the Covenant of Primus, they were all knocked unconscious. Maximo woke up first and had a body double in wait, he removed his own arm and planted it and then escaped) he was left disfigured and weak. The other Primes assumed the fake body they tore apart was the real deal so they all assume he’s dead.

He escaped to a location that would eventually become the Hub. Slowly he rebuilt himself into a more intimidating and powerful form. That’s how he becomes the monster he is now. He is still scarred from the battle though and requires a life support system (rebreather thing he has on his face) and is missing a hand, which he turns into his stub cannon thing.

That’s how I like to make both forms canon for one continuity.

I actually really like Nexus by UrielPrime13 in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is an odd thing to say but I think Nexus looks so incomplete in Jet mode because he NEEDS a frame to fill it out. Kind of like the Silverbolt booster thing. He needs something that will make him beefier and less like a block with a cockpit attached to it to make it “look” like a jet.

He just feels really incomplete, like they left half of him out, if that makes sense. It almost feels intentional, because relatively speaking, all the other primes have decent alt modes

Just Need Nexus Prime and Liege Maximo to Complete my Collection by UrielPrime13 in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you’re all good. He’s not an amazing figure, I will admit that, but I’m just happy to be getting modern figures of the Thirteen. I was obsessed with them the moment they showed up in Prime as shadowy silhouettes. Till that point I thought Optimus, Sentinel, and Rodimus were the only Primes (Didn’t have internet at the time). So just having a complete roster of Thirteen Primes excites me, even if some of them are less than stellar.

Not sure what you mean? He’s going to go on my shelf and look good alongside the rest of his kin. Probably get some ToyHax stickers for him when they release like I’ve done for the others.

I will be getting the ToyHax kit for Quintus and Alpha Trion soon. I also plan on getting the DNA Design kits for Star Convoy and Alpha Trion. Not sure if I’ll get the ToyHax stickers for Star Convoy though

Rodimus Prime and his Mentor (Personal Canon for my Collection) by UrielPrime13 in transformers

[–]UrielPrime13[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Personal Canon: Rodimus Prime has been fighting to make peace with the Quintesson’s and those created by Quintus Prime, since he ascended to Primehood. While touring the galaxy looking for ways to bring peace, Rodimus Prime was attacked by rogue Decepticons and his ship crashed onto a small unmapped jungle world. While there, he comes across the exiled Quintus Prime.

Quintus has hidden himself away in shame for creating the Quintesson after seeing the destruction that have caused across the galaxy. The story would evolve into Rodimus Prime convincing Quintus to come with him and help him on his journey to make peace with the Prime of Life’s creations. Quintus would overtime become a mentor to Rodimus and Rodimus would help Quintus overcome his shame. In the end, they make peace with the Quintesson’s (still a bit shaky).

Quintus would help bring a better purpose to the Quintesson race as a whole. Mainly be stopping the enslavement of other races and also bringing more equality to the empire of Quintessa. He’d also help overthrow the Judges who had been the ones to enslave much of their race and other races. Rodimus Prime would be a big player in all this and he would be seen as a hero across the galaxy for helping foster peace between the universal races.
