傳世加強(qiáng)級隱者戰(zhàn)士（Pretender)骨裂（Skullgrin）這個項(xiàng)目是一個十足的挑戰(zhàn)（，同時這東西）對我的情緒也造成了極大的破壞。

在最后一刻，這些隱者戰(zhàn)士被批準(zhǔn)從被刪除角色的空檔回歸（正式開發(fā)）。自從比爾·羅利（Bill Rawley)在2010年設(shè)計了老加強(qiáng)級斯塔薩斯玩具（并重涂成骨裂）以來（沒有再出現(xiàn)過這個等級的產(chǎn)品），我一直想要一個以超神-勇者之力(Super God-Masterforce)中山羊怪魔（Dauros)的形象（制作玩具），但（在設(shè)計中）也采用了作為原始G1玩具所展現(xiàn)的（造型）。

所有因素（結(jié)合在一起）相當(dāng)于一個絕對關(guān)鍵的設(shè)計挑戰(zhàn)，在這個挑戰(zhàn)中，我在整個過程中都在不斷地推演設(shè)計決定。

謝天謝地，我和幸日佐志(Hisashi Yuki)先生一起研究過這個家伙，他不可思議的能力不僅能投入設(shè)計，還能為制作方向提供建議，非常有幫助。

你可以在這里看到，在我為骨裂設(shè)計的概念藝術(shù)中，想保留角色的一些惡魔特征，但也要將它們與玩具機(jī)器人的元素結(jié)合起來。我真心希望能有更多的時間來討論和繪制，我認(rèn)為利用現(xiàn)有的藝術(shù)作品來處理人物的偽裝形態(tài)才能真正有助于（節(jié)?。r間和（明確設(shè)計）方向。

然后是關(guān)于怎樣才能真正實(shí)現(xiàn)（設(shè)計零件過渡上）平滑轉(zhuǎn)換的工程。我們一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)反復(fù)修改設(shè)計這個造型，以得到（你現(xiàn)在所看到的）最終結(jié)果。我對他非常滿意，希望你也一樣。

這家伙身上的配件是不真實(shí)的。我想要的機(jī)器人模式的規(guī)格有點(diǎn)像白日夢，但他為加強(qiáng)級偽裝形態(tài)保留了大量的肌肉和身高。

他真的做出來一個強(qiáng)大霸天虎的存在。在這里，顏色是另一個挑戰(zhàn)，因?yàn)槟憧梢钥吹缴a(chǎn)中出現(xiàn)的一些錯誤。

其他值得注意的是，賽伯坦前懸浮裝坦克的雙管槍炮塔爆能槍與效果兼容，并且附有眾多5mm接口提升其延展性。雙骨劍能量爆能槍有多種用途。

看我的開發(fā)故事，了解更多關(guān)于這個超級有趣人物的趣聞，同時，我希望你可以給他一個機(jī)會來光顧你的收藏，即使他沒有外殼！

Legacy Deluxe Pretender Skullgrin was a project challenge that really wreaked havoc on my emotions.

.

Last minute these Pretenders were approved for slots slated for dropped characters. Ever since that old Straxus redeco toy Bill Rawley worked on in 2010, I’ve always wanted a proper Dauros from Super God Masterforce but also utilizing what was done as the original G1 toy. All of that equals an absolutely crucial design challenge in which I was constantly second guessing decisions the whole way.

.

Thank goodness I worked with Yuki san on this guy and his incredible ability to not only design but to advise direction was super helpful.

.

You can see here, in my concept art I worked up for Skullgrin, I wanted to keep some demon features of the character but also combine them with elements of the toy transforming robot. I really do wish I had more time to debate and draw but I felt utilizing existing artwork for the characters alt mode would really help with time and direction.

.

Then comes the engineering decisions on whats really possible to even obtain smooth transformation. Back and forth we went on redesigning this figure step by step to get the end result. Which I’m very pleased with the outcome and I hope you are too.

.

The accessory load out on this guy is unreal. The scale of robot mode I wanted was sort of a pipe dream but he maintains alot of beef and height for a deluxe. He really gives a strong decepticon presence. The colors were another challenge here as you can see some mistakes heppened in production.

.

Other notes are the cybertronian front hover tank duel gun turret blasters are effects compatible and also have alot of versatility with 5mm ports. The duel bone sword energon blasters can be utilized in multiple ways. Please peep my story for more cool tidbits about this super fun figure, in which, I hope you give him a chance to bless your collection, even if he is without his shell! ??
