He is awsome, maybe the head could be a bit bigger and more Dinosaurlike.

Its like a mech and a TF combined. I love it! This was a story arc I wish Orci and Kurtzy used. It's new and rather original...but instead they opted out and had some random Volvo Excavator-former get killed for parts...

Well, they can only afford so many million-dollar robot models.

Cydra630 [2009-07-26 00:28:40 +0000 UTC]

Very impressive. Too bad they never designed a robot mode for Hightower. If they do decide to make an individual toy for Hightower, I hope it ends up looking something like this. By the way, do you have any idea what his transformation sequence might be like?

Fishbug In reply to Cydra630 [2009-07-26 00:30:52 +0000 UTC]

If I had to guess, like the legends figure, but more complicated.

Coooooool!

He reminds of a dinosaur specifically the velociraptor from Jurassic Park. (Well ALMOST one)

Really cool bio! I liked how you tied up the loose end of that Constructicon in the trench.

Fishbug In reply to DecepticonsRule [2009-07-25 03:44:54 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, though I wouldn't really call it a loose end, since Scalpel does specifically order them to kill him.

But, it's an easy out to explain a messed up Constructicon, so I'm all for it.

The first impression I got of the legends figure was that it was a robot piloting a robot

DUDE I got 1 thing to say, GOOD JOB!!! I totally love this picture, i especially like how u modeled it after that tiny and very pixelated little legends class figure design, and u made it look absolutely awesome!!!

Fishbug In reply to Dukenine [2009-07-19 01:25:03 +0000 UTC]

But it stands to reason that even then, he would still have a robot mode, right?

he was shown in the movie. during "The Combining" he is in robot mode right before he attatches and becomes an arm

Fishbug In reply to KHon-the-run [2009-07-13 19:42:05 +0000 UTC]

Not really, I mean, from what I could tell, Scavenger hooks up with his vehicle mode, and then Hightower locks together with the little dozer that becomes the hand. And none of the other Constructicons had to be in robot mode to combine, so...

Awesome! I'm hoping this guy gets a Deluxe-Voyager figure some time down the line, and if it looks this good, I'll probably buy it!

Just one thing though - where's his Decepticon symbol?

Fishbug In reply to CosbyDaf [2009-07-12 03:47:57 +0000 UTC]

If it looks like this, I'll have to buy two. Maybe three.

I don't know what kinda chickens you're looking at, but keep them the hell away from me.

Malunis [2009-07-10 08:20:18 +0000 UTC]

Excelleeeent. This is perfect! XD I love the look of the Legends Hightower... I'd love to see a Voyager version, just to get a clear idea of the alt mode. It seems very scorpion-like. But with... legs. And clown shoes.

...

I think dinosaur works just fine

Hate to say it but the way you've got those big white pieces... he kind of looks like a chicken.

I really do love the head and main body area, though. That's sweeeeeet.

Lol. Well, that's about the only thing that bugged me. The rest is pretty damn awesome. Actually, minus the white parts, he has a kind of dinosaur vibe going.

Fishbug In reply to Legend-of-Blackout [2009-07-10 22:11:12 +0000 UTC]

Kinda unfortunate that they had to wind up there, but that's just the way it goes. And yeah, I was going for a whole dinosaur look, to go with his t-rex arms.
