Just recently, after getting the latest K-Zone issue with Pinsala, something inspired me and gave me a new idea to finally make a new Foldabot after ages of having no ideas at all. The nice thing about it is that the new ones I am currently working on is actually based on a Transformers combiner which gave me the idea, also, I made a combiner with three units and doesn't have individual robot forms, there were also other ideas I came up but for now I am not going to test or make their patterns.
TERRACROSS
As the name implies, this is loosely named after LANDCROSS from Transformers Victory. The set is composed of SIX, yes, six individual Foldabots combining to either as Diadrone combiners or as one Super combiner. The color scheme however will be based on its model kit counterpart GAIACROSS which bears a simple white and red or blue on each of the units, with the addition of black parts in which forms the feet, hands, and the head of Terracross.
The patterns have common parts for each of the six components. First, all of them have the same body base in which the Main Body will have a hidden sleeve under the individual head, the legs form as arms when combined with another unit in Diadrone form, and there are sleeves inside the legs in which it will be used for another purpose later on as we read this blog. Second, is there three sets of parts for every pair. And lastly, though they have similar pattern pieces, but the interesting part is these are placed differently on each of the units.
I already made the illustration of Terracross but not the individual units and the three main Diadrone combinations.
Now, there are six Multibots(subgroup name based on Multiforce) which I will name them on this blog and their bios as well:
The MULTIBOTS - are Foldabots capable of working individually or as Diadrones. Though at first glance you would think they don't look like Foldabots or Lutabots because they don't have a crest or a splat on their chests, but the truth is they are indeed Foldabots but with Agimats stored inside and protected by their external armor casing.
SKY - is a red fighter jet and the leader of the Multibots. Daring, ambitious, and courageous, SKY is not afraid of anything goes in his way. SKY combines with SPLASH to form the Diadrone SKYSPLASH.
SPLASH - is a blue speedboat and the only Multibot meant for sea combat. Considering him as the odd one, but he seems to be close to either SKY or BURNER which he considers them best partners. He also combines with SKY to form SPLASHSKY to take down enemies both on air and at sea.
BURNER - is a red racing car with an alert mind. Whenever the Multibots needed something to be done fast, they all put their trust onto him. SPLASH and BUILD think he always hogs all the glory because of his capabilities which they don't have. BURNER and BUILD combines into BURNERBUILD.
BUILD - is a red dump truck made for heavy duty purposes including fighting alongside the other Multibots. He is also capable of carrying a lot in his dump carriage. And of course, he too can combine with BURNER to form BUILDBURNER.
ROCKET - is a blue space shuttle and a little afraid of heights especially when they ask him to go to space with KALAWAKRON. However, he can still fight in the air with SKY, and help RAGE on the ground. Both ROCKET and RAGE can also combine into ROCKETRAGE for extra firepower.
RAGE - is a blue delivery van who is most of the time angry and doesn't care about his fellow Multibots if he's doing it wrong. He is somewhat the opposite of BUILD when it comes to power because when BUILD is in a pinch, he gets very weak. RAGE in the other hand, gets very powerful when he's totally ravaged. RAGE can also combine with ROCKET which he calls him coward, into RAGEROCKET.
TERRACROSS - is formed when SKYSPLASH, BURNERBUILD, and ROCKETRAGE combines into this super combiner. Their Agimats are channeled into the chestplate formed by SKY and ROCKET's rudders, while wields a weapon almost similar to LIKASTRON's tail staff which is formed from SPLASH and BURNER's parts. TERRACROSS is somewhat powerful and packs up a massive punch. Some of his parts can also be used as add-ons to each of the vehicle modes. Aside from the rudders, SKY and ROCKET can also store the two halves of the head and use them as guns. The fists also fit onto SPLASH and BURNER as STS/STA blasters. And the feet also form as turrets for BUILD and RAGE.
Now, I also made a six piece combiner before Terracross, and it's Dobletron Extreme. I tested the patterns I made a while back and I noticed when I make the normal Dobletron, it turned to be a little stout than expected. The surprising thing about Dobletron Extreme is the super form uses all six including their Agimat Sticks which forms the heads. The Multibots are capable of forming Diadrones in 30 unique combinations compare to Dobletron's nine combinations.
GREAT X/WING ADDER/SKY BATTLER
The next one is Great X, a combiner based on Big Dai X from the 'not so obscure' show called "Star Fleet" in the UK or in Japan it is titled "X-Bomber". The idea of this is it has three separate mecha combining into one humanoid robot. Each of the three doesn't have an alternate mode except for the one that forms the legs in which it is attached with a pair of crawlers on the bottom so that it can fight on ground. In addition, they all share the same color scheme which is red.
Now, Great X is also composed of three units naming Head Jet, Trunk Cannon, and Leg Tank. Head Jet is the smallest of the three and as the name implies, it forms the head of Great X. Trunk Cannon is the widest and forms the torso and arms of Great X. And Leg Tank being capable of forming the legs. While Big Dai X is red, Great X is blue, which is also the color of Tetsujin 28. Why did I mention T28? It's because of Wing Adder which forms a wing pack for Great X. Wing Adder is red just like the backpack on T28. I also made a carrier mecha for Head Jet, Trunk Cannon, Leg Tank, and Wing Adder. This is my version of X-Bomber which served as the main ship for the Star Fleet.
CONCLUSION
Though these ideas don't have computer-made patterns yet, I would be really glad to show you these prototypes this November in the Toy Book 7 launch. The prototypes will be made by hand and the color apps will be done in colored markers which I will also use gold and silver as well. And to those who are still looking for me on Facebook, I am sorry that I am no longer going back there.
As always, keep yourselves posted for new blogs real soon!
