Shining Toiletbot! - "This bowl of mine shines with an awsome power..." Disco-Prime! - He's stayin' alive...won't you take him to Funkytown?
Spot, another Dairycon-exclusive, is a loyal friend to the humans. He is joined in his cheesy-struggle Sideways Heads - Alternate head and powermaster engine transforms are appropriate. Armada Needlenose is ready to continue the fight alongside the other Decepticons. He's brought some help, too... Stormsword - The ultimate weapon...in the right hands.

Armada Minelba - I decided to have some fun, in the style of Esteban. PolicePolice! |
Ape S.H.I.T. is what happens when you reformat Optimus Minor in the Beastmachines era... An Evil Legion of Mini Toiletbots has been created for TB-2001's use. Will Toiletbot be able to survive the onslaught? Mexican Targetmaster Wheelie is a variant only a mother could love... Uncle Whiskey Breath, a Dairycon exclusive, is here to save the Midwest from the forces of...oh, nevermind. TruckMonkey is our submission for the best New Year's Prime ever. Sometimes, two rights can make a wrong. Prime Time premires shortly, so don't touch that dial! Savage Prime - Forgot where I was going with this one, but he's cool... Supreme Toiletbot has come to claim final victory in the Legion saga. And thus ends a proud tradition. RID Skids is back, and with his original look. Bravo! New Mayham Attack Squad! - It's horrible. Simply horrible. I don't know what I was thinking... Shockwave is cold, ruthless, logical. What more could you ask for? Oh yea, a kitbash. :-) Warpath is back, and he's bringing the heavy guns... Campaign Car and Electrum Beast - Dairycon 2.0 Exclusives, are ready to rock your world...which is lucky, considering that Burning Monkey and Shining Spider were almost selected instead. Maybe next year. Canadian Autobot Motormaster - I just want to state, for the record, that this is NOT my fault...
Turbomaster Bruticus is rebuilt, and ready to take up the fight again. |
(If you went to BC'01, then you saw some of these in-person...) BM Thrust with Tek Armor is my first project out of the gate. Take one BeastMachines cycle, add two parts Spawn Nitrocycles, and voila! My second-fav kitbash. Which I can assume, like Bluefire, will be ignored... Super-Vehicon Combiner Team! - Look at the BM Gestault team you can build with just six vehicons! I'd call him BeastMachine's Bruticus, but since they re-released that old mold in japan under the name Baldicus... :-) I can't. Dustbuster, Vehicon Drone - Another winner in the 'name the mysterybot' contest, this fellow worked overtime to describe something as-er-unique as this fellow. :-) Behold, ODIETRON! - Sequels invariably do worse than the original, and this follow-up to Transmetal Garfield is no exception. But it begged to be done... Soundscream will never be built. This is as close as I'm going to get. Legion has a new Communications Drone - Boy, won't you be surprised at this latest entry. But it's a far better fate than lying dead in the burning city of BM... The Mutant ShadowRaptor joins the ranks of Beastwars. Beware! The Barney BattleBase! - The Dinobots get a new warrior on their team...oh god, the pain... BeastMachines Goldbug is back in the fight, and firmly on the side of the Autobots... BeastMachines Rodimus. - Is he Autobot? Or living God? You decide. The fate of Cybertron depends on it. Videodrome joins the ranks of the Decepticons. Beware, beware! R.I.D. Nightbeat sports a new look in the post-beastmachines era. He is truly a Robot in Disguise. Metamorphisis - A look at the reformatting process as it 'transforms' a Cybertonian. Night at the Autobop: Kup's 10,000 Tales is a look at what happens when our favorite heroes are off-duty. Battle for the Spark: Primal vs Megatron takes a gander at our two main foes trying to settle their differences in a slightly more civil tone. 1 - 800 - Maximal will save you at least a buck or two... Blowing up Wheelie is definately a scene that should have been in the movie... Cheetor and the Bigbots - Now THAT'S what I call a Jazz band. :-) ToiletBot 2001 will also be making an appearance in an unknown spot this year...will it be at a booth? Hidden in an art project? You will see! He's big, he's bad, and he's been taken over by the bad guys...
Postscript: Thank you to all of you who voted for me. Night at the Autobop and Battle for the Spark took honors in the diorama catagory. Yay! |
(If you were at BC'02, then this is what you all saw of mine.) CanBot will be taking ToiletBot's place as my 'garbage' entry this year. It's time to take out the trash! Toiletbot himself will come with an updated look, and some friends... Flipshot, the Jumpstarter Drone! - I created this poor fellow with no name, no purpose, no faction...and people gave him one. He's now a part of Legion. A very SMALL part, thankfully... Legion - A drone army even Megatron can't stop. Toiletbot marks his triumphant return to the convention...and this time, he's brought a few friends. It defies words. Then again, a couple o' hundred jumpstarters in one pic should defy words...I'd picture the rest, but they didn't fit...Heck, just Toiletbot alone with a mean set of weapons is worth the look. :-) TwinSpin and TopTwist, Legion Generals - Toiletbot has turned control of his drone army over to his two best creations. Heavy Arms, Legion Battle Drone - When TB and the drones need some heavy firepower, they call in the biggest and baddest of them all... EchoWarrior; part human, part dolphin/bat fuzor, all hero. Fans of TFWW: 'Transformers Worlds Worst' will enjoy seeing their favorite character come to life.Warren Renfield is from the future, but he knows a lot about history... Bluefire - Death of Blackfire, Bane of Warlord will be entering the competition this year. Created in 1999, the same year as Toiletbot, he didn't manage to enter the art contest. He was too-busy guarding my booth. This year, that will change. He's my fav; I worked the longest on him. And no one cares. :-) Inferion, The Beastwars Combiner will be in the art contest as well. I set out to create the world's most useless combiner team...and boy, did I ever succeed. Just goes to show you, you can't make a good transformer out of crap. Actionmaster-Fuzor Supreme Hawkeye! - Come take a look at what happens when bad ideas are taken to their bitter conclusion... TanKorHawk, The Bounty Hunter will be another of my favorites entering the competition this year. Remember that guy from TMNT who wore a mask and carried a golfbag with hockeysticks and hammers in it? Now imagine that fellow as a transformer... ...and if you think that's bad, imagine if Voktron was sent as the emmisary instead of TigerHawk? Scraplets, those horrible little disease-carrying monsters from the comics have escaped from the Workshop! They'll eat your transformers! Run away! The World Cried out for Heroes...and This is What They Got - A bizarre universe where BeastMachines and MysteryMen are one and the same... The Minibot Battle Brigade takes on Trypticon in what SHOULD have been the result of the post movie show, 'Five Faces of Darkness.' Homer Simpson as Sparkplug Witwicky was a fan favorite. Imagine HIM trying to fix Prime! Age of Prowl - Heroes never die; they simply...transform. CWF - It's where the BigBots play!
Postscript: If I didn't say it before, let me say it now: thank you to everyone who voted for me in the art contest! I swept the Bc2k diorama catagory! Who-hoo! |
It all Began with Toiletbot. Toiletbot wasn't my FIRST kitbash; rather, he was the first one to make it out of the Workshop. Many of you got to see him in person at BotCon 99, and Botcon 2000. You may also have seen him in either Toyfare (#27), or Lee's AFN (#83, #97). And a brief cameo in Rob Jung's Trannies. You just can't go wrong with liking Toiletbot! Who-hoo! The famous british plumbing inventor, Thomas Crapper, died in London in 1910 at the age of 73. The slang name of 'crapper' to describe a toilet goes back to World War 1 when british soldiers saw the name of Crapper's plumbing company printed on the toilet tanks... Click here to see the detailed history of Toiletbot. Because of that resounding success...?... I decided that it would be appropriate to let you in on some of the other customs that have been created here at the Workshop. Beastmachines Seaspray and Cosmos - This was posted to ATT in September of 99 as a spoof for the folks getting hyped up on the Beast Machines toys.
Transmetal Garfield - It's amazing how far a plastic pizza and a Pez dispenser will take you... |
