The 1st Unofficial Art Contest Winning Entry: Gunawtron

The long wait is over...

From seven participants...
It's now down to two.

I present to you the winning combiners in the first ever Erwin Imagin Fourze's Unofficial Foldabots Art Contest!

On this blog well take a look on a work by Lester Bernaldez.

GUNAWBOTS

They are the roughest Lutabots around, when it comes to breaking down structures. Our first Gunawbot is the bulldozer named GUHO.  He likes pushing things out of his way, and if you would compare him to TU-LOCK who's on the good side, he in the other hand is on the bad side.

GUHO

 To build Guho:
Cut out the patterns by following the RED lines and fold all BROKEN lines.
1. Glue MAIN BODY to itself.
2. Glue ENGINE and COCKPIT onto the MAIN BODY (You may follow the illustration above for best results.)
3. Glue MUFFLER to itself and glue onto the MAIN BODY.
4. Glue the ARMS onto the MAIN BODY.
5. For the bulldozer's plate, glue PLATE to itself, then glue the DOZER ARM onto the PLATE (Glue exactly where the rectangle is!)

Our next Gunawbot is GIBA, a farm tractor who does no harm to anybody, but secretly, devastates all the crops without a trace.

To build Giba:
Cut out the patterns by following the RED lines and fold all BROKEN lines.
1. Glue MAIN BODY to itself.
2. Glue COCKPIT onto the MAIN BODY (You may follow the illustration above for best results.)
3. Glue TIRES onto the MAIN BODY, the small ones go at the front, while the large ones are at the back.
4. Glue the ARMS onto the MAIN BODY.

Next up is HALTAK, a crane crawler that is similar to the Decepticon HIGHTOWER from the movie "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." His duty is to winch out the heaviest trash left by his comrades.

To build Haltak:
Cut out the patterns by following the RED lines and fold all BROKEN lines.
1. Glue MAIN BODY, COCKPIT, CRANE ARM, and SLEEVE, each to itself.
2. Glue COCKPIT, LEFT HAND, and SLEEVE onto the MAIN BODY
3. Glue the ARMS onto the MAIN BODY.
4. For the crane arm, take a piece of string of about 5 inches in length, tie a knot on one end, slip it onto the slit on the crane arm's TIP, then glue it onto the CRANE ARM.
5. Glue the HOOK onto the other end of the string.

We move on to BASAG, a wrecking ball crawler designed to demolish tall buildings but leave a lot of mess.

To build Haltak:
Cut out the patterns by following the RED lines and fold all BROKEN lines.
1. Glue MAIN BODY, COCKPIT, WRECKER ARM, and SLEEVE, each to itself.
2. Glue COCKPIT, RIGHT HAND, and SLEEVE onto the MAIN BODY
3. Glue the ARMS onto the MAIN BODY.
4. For the wrecker arm, take a piece of string of about 5 inches in length, tie a knot on one end, slip it onto the slit on the crane arm's TIP, then glue it onto the WRECKER ARM.
5. Glue both BALLS onto the other end of the string and sandwich it together.

Finally, the leader of the Gunawbots--TIBAG. A massive quarry dump truck that can carry all the mess made by his minions and dump it in the outskirts of the city.

TIBAG

To build Tibag:
Cut out the patterns by following the RED lines and fold all BROKEN lines.
1. Glue MAIN BODY, DUMP, and ARM SLEEVES, each to itself.
2. Glue TIRES, COCKPIT, ARM SLEEVES, and DUMP SLEEVE onto the MAIN BODY.
3. Glue the ARMS onto the MAIN BODY.
4. Glue the SHOULDER FLAPS onto the opposite side of the MAIN BODY.
5. Glue DUMP TAB and TOP onto DUMP.
6. Glue DUMP onto the MAIN BODY.
7. Glue GUNAWTRON'S HEAD to itself.

Now, let's form GUNAWTRON! This vicious Lutabot creates massive destruction in his environment.

GUNAWTRON

To Form Gunawtron:

GUHO from bulldozer mode: Detach the dozer plate and attach it upwards to form a foot. Insert Tibag's right leg onto the back of Guho.

GIBA from farm tractor mode: Open out the front tab to form a foot. Insert Tibag's left leg onto the back of Giba.

HALTAK from crane crawler mode/BASAG from wrecker crawler mode: Open out the front tab and pull the hand out. Close the tab back. Pull out the connector tab and insert it onto Tibag's left shoulder for Haltak and right shoulder for Basag, fold the broken line back to hold the part in place. (This is the same gimmick found in Komyutatron.)

TIBAG from Lutabot mode: Tuck both arms onto their respective sleeves. Place Gunawtron's head onto Tibag.

Extra Gimmicks: The crane and wrecker arms are interchangeable.

On the next blog is the other winning entry which was created by James Edward Salazar called "GIYERATRON"
