so, update on momcee
for anything resembling a basic deluxe or voyager figure, I wasn't gonna be able to make the previous design work. I'd need some pretty intense engineering to get the wheels placed right, it'd start to look like some of the worst TFPrime toys, so I had to re-engineer it.
Here is a quite sketch I did based on my prototyping today. I'm gonna try and get something more solid done this week.
Essentially the transformation goes like this: The crotch and attached legs are under the car, they swing down and the bumper and wheels wrap around the waist like some of the optimus figures do.
The grill becomes the belly, and is also where the swivel and ab crunch is.
The front fenders and the hood swing upright, with the upper hood extending a little further to get the right bust angle, with the head being hidden inside the car until this point.
The white portion on the doors folds at the seam line towards the headlights, revealing the arms attached to them.
The back fender and tail lights are the tricky part, they're gonna *partially* fold down and lock into place, forming a sort of W shape if you looked at her from the back.
The rest of the car canopy (and the hatchback) will fold up. This is the biggest risk, but I need it to be mostly one piece so it can be popped open to store titan masters in.
I'm also wondering if I should just design her as a headmaster with daniel, cause it means I don't worry about where the head goes in car mode, and she'd already have titan master ports. But I dunno, I'm hoping it won't matter.
