BAHAGHARI REMAKE

Before we wrap up September, I just recently worked on this remake of an existing combiner I made--BAHAGHARI in which this time, I used the new layout, and downsized them roughly to their Foldabots Mini scales and designs. The good thing about this is that you only need the two patterns to complete the set.

I was going to remake the rest of the 15 other Mini Foldabots as well, but I seemed to lost the pattern cards for this. In which of the similar designed units will share a pattern to save a lot of space (which I was disappointed on Sulatron on Toy Book 6). Instead, I just focused on the five. In addition, a special piece is added to replicate Bahaghari's Rainbow Flash attack. I also changed the name 'Violeta' to 'Violetica', in which the name was already used for one of the Sporticons. Aside from this, the planned lineup will have some name changes as well.

Riles - Rilesor
Karga - Kargadrone
Sagip - Lunas
Bilis - Liksi
Barena - Barenator
The rest keeps the original names.

The other reason why I did this, is because this year marks the 5th anniversary of the Foldabots Mini series. Though short-lived, they were considered as a collectible set and it's now really hard to find them, unless you still find the series 2 ones which I completed.

And now, the patterns, if you remember my blog about TERRACROSS, I used the new layout on this as well. Also, if you look at the specs on the top right, you'll see it's different from the one I used for Terracross, it's color-coded for your convenience. And if you still don't have a clue, I'll give you the exact specs of each and the gestalt itself.

Azul: INT:3 END:2 STR:4 SSK:3 SPD:3; Violetica: INT:4 END:1 STR:2 SSK:3 SPD:3; Verde: INT:1 END:3 STR:3 SSK:2 SPD:4

Rojo: INT:3 END:4 STR:3 SSK:3 SPD:2; Marila: INT:3 END:2 STR:1 SSK:4 SPD:2; Bahaghari: INT:4 END:5 STR:5 SSK:4 SPD:5

In addition, like some of my older patterns, the combiner instructions are divided into parts depending on the character.

Before we wrap this up, I would like to greet K-Zone Philippines a Happy 12th Birthday next month, and of course, Trosonator gets an arm on that issue. Not to mention Toy Book 7 bound for November, in which I decided to not go to that launch event anymore. Sorry about that notice, but let's face it, I'm too old to go there. And of course, let's all hope Siklo finally gets his reissue we've been begging for the longest time. Until then, we'll see you on next blog!

The Foldabots Blog's 40th Post: PATTERNS FOR TERRACROSS

Since it's going to be my 40th post and it's indeed very special...

If you have no idea yet on this one, please do check one of my older blogs

TERRACROSS, like I mentioned before, is loosely based from Transformers Victory's MULTIFORCE or LANDCROSS, and has the color scheme of GAIACROSS (from Kabaya's Transformers Gum Toy Series). Each of them has almost the same parts especially the Main Body Parts which I used on all six. The only difference is there are three unique sets of parts included, you'll see what I mean. And of course, I used a different layout for these pattern sheets this time, aside from using Verdana to the Foldabot's name, Specs, Bio, the Instructions, and on the patterns itself.

Conclusion

Now, like I said back in the last blog, I made hand-made prototypes of TERRACROSS and it worked out fine. Hope to expect a lot of new patterns I will upload in the near future or not. To those who want to test these guys out, always give credits to me, please.
