Operation Superion
Part 3
After months of waiting, my cherished Superion limbs have finally arrived. Of course, since I modified the arms previously, I had to do something about the badminton racket foot on Windrazor. Below is my solution, such as it is.
Required materials:
Two identical pieces of Offshoot / Signal Flare's weapon, and the tip of Skyblast's energon spear.
Transform Windrazor as shown (front view).
Back view
Make sure Windrazor's fists are turned like the above example (this will provide better stability). Now place the only pegs sticking out of Offshoot's energon pieces into Windrazor's fists, then connect Skyblast's energon spear pegs into the lower horizontal facing holes. You may have to do a little experimenting to get the new Superion foot straight. Leave Windrazor's feet curved inward. The bottoms of the feet should touch the edge of the energon spear tip perfectly, and form a perfect foot. If you've done this correctly, your new Superion foot should look similar to the picture below.
And here's the merged result.
I like the fact that it is similar in shape to the Sky Shadow foot. (As an aside, with a little fiddling around, Terradive can also produce an elbow.)
Superion doesn't have as much bulk as the other two Energon gestalts, but I consider that to be true to an overall aerial design. After all, most of the time it is the slim things that fly, not the stuff that's big and bulky (though it can, but with limited maneuverability). Superion would be much faster than his Decepticon counterparts.
Anyway, that's all for now, and thanks for looking.
