Those are the guys riding Steeljaw and Ramhorn in this clip:

They're named Eject and Rewind, they're autobot data specialists (librarians).

Hey just wondering how things are going on the Thugger front?

I finally picked up a WFC Soundwave and I'm eager to order one if not 2 figures.

Is it safe to order the Ver 2.0 or should I wait till ver 3.0 is ready?

High CBII!

I apologise that I've been neglecting this thread for like, forever! In fact, version 3.0 has been out for a very long time! I'm working on version 4.0 soon, in fact.

You can get Thugger 3.0 at this link:

very slick concept and design execution!!!
thanks for sharing these bad @$$ bots over here too

These are amazing if I had the ability to order them I totally would. I totally love the concept of making your own transformers, now if only it would work for Gundams ...

Awesome....Tell you what once you ver 4.0 ready to go post up and I'll place an order then. Also let us know what its the best material to buy.

Sideslap...I have a shapeways account and can easily order you a set when I order mine if you want.

I bought my pair of Thuggers in White, Strong, Flexible. For me my priorities were material strength, cost, then detail so that was the best choice for me.

I plan on picking two of these Thugger guys up and painting them. Unsure if I'll wait for a final revision to come out, but most likely.

Also, I'm going to pick up two pairs of Slammers from http://www.shapeways.com/model/25828...ml?gid=ug72111 to go with the figures. Still not quite sure if they come as a pair or if they come individually. Also, gonna wait for a final revision for these as well.

Any plans for making a pair of Zappers for the red one from WFC? The default back guns will work but I was hoping for something that looked more wedge shaped. Once again, I think I'd pick up two pairs of those. Mainly because most days I'm a RIBFIR and occasionally I'm a FIBRIR. But really, I don't see why both couldn't have slammers and zappers.

How are the Thugger Slammers? Any plans on future revisions? Advice on plastic?

White strong flexible looks like the plastic I'll be getting for all.

Also, not to take too much away from fakebusker83, but there's some 5mm powerlinx pegs with bases, and double ended 5mm powerlinx pegs available from Drawn-Steel Hero's Shapeways page so these Thuggers can be added on to any Soundwave from any other series too.


Oh, and how do the ball and sockets compare to, say, the ones from Stickfas figures?
