[NOT-DIACLONE] Powered Suits
My normal inclination would be to lump this stuff into the not-Hasbro thread, but this is kinda off the beaten path a bit. Plus, my ego demands a separate thread. :P A lot of you may have heard about...

That looks very cool. I like it! If I could make one suggestion (and I know it's like this on the original toy) maybe redesign the plastic codpiece, because it looks like it's just begging to be...

Glad you're feeling it! As for your suggestion, I'm way ahead of ya! Well, to be honest, that wang-protector is *completely* cosmetic and non-load-bearing (heh..."wang"..."load"). I had problems with...

Nice, 'Jeev! You should consider making modernized Diaclone drivers while you're at it.

Ha...you'd NEED a shop vice to put a dent in these steel parts! For real, thanks for the kind words, guys. Despite the stoopid-high price tag, I sure hope the few hardcore folks throw down really...

Speaking of 3D printing, I can't believe I forgot to post this here! The Powered Suit Fake Type (bootleg Diaclone Powered Suit) is now officially available! In order to keep the costs down, I had to...
