Here are some early concept vehicles from the open (sorry, I mean "We have no models to sell, but we'll take your money and send some out with a minimun of 5 weeks wait" Day.

The Missile Launcher one may be done as part of a Chaos Renagade Army planned for the future.

Oh SNAP!!!

I love the BFG tanks.

Not 100% on the last sketch, but the first two are pretty damn solid. I hope they expand that renegade line. Very nice stuff.

It'd be cool if they made a Whirlwind like that top picture.

These pics and several others have been knocking around for ages. It would be nice if FW did more original vehicles.

I don't think you should ask for that, George. Next thing you know you have a giant skull with wheels and what then?

All three seem somewhat undeveloped as concepts. They don't make sense mechanically, even given the 40k technology that supposedly underlies the design. For example how does the SP Mortar move? If there are engines, where are they? And why does the Mortar require lateral stabilization, when most of the recoil forces are backwards?

Those aren't stabilizers - they're ground-pounders. They go boom-boom-boom and cause earthquakes. This is especially useful if you're fighting inside Astrotrain and the Constructicons try to form Devastator. Nobody calls Soundwave unkrazzimatic!

Bruticus hates you all!

Soundwave superior. Constructicons inferior!




Umm... yeah. I like the one with the big cannon.

BYE

could you have possibly condensed all of this into one thread of OMGI'MSOEFFINGMADATFORGEWORLDICOULDSPITEFFINGSNOTLINGSOUTOFMYANUS... instead of like 8... we get it... you're mad at Forgeworld.. the line goes to the left you're number 4578427689... there's a 5 week minimum wait for it to start moving again.

Right. I already PMed Iorek about possibly making one thread out of this because it's pretty confusing and takes up half the front page.

That's a question you should ask yourself Megatron!

Such heroic nonsense.

Jettison the weight (of these 8 seperate threads) or I'll never make it to Cybertron!

3rd one = conversion beamer? That would be a nice retro weapon.

Still... a bit uninspiring. Hopefully these are the first drafts. There is very little that FW has done that I haven't liked so I give them the benefit of the doubt

Until that day... 'til all are one...

I can't wait 'til I'm one with you, Abby.

Prepare for extermination?
