Here's what I was working for the past few weeks.
I can't really say this is a custom since there was minimal kitbashing and the bulk of the kit is as is
A month ago..I noticed this Auldey kit worth 60 petot or roughly a dollar when I was scouting for some bootleg gundams that I can cannibalize. I didn't pay much attention to it until I decided to inspect what's inside.
Judging from the size of the parts..I estimated it was roughly the size of an SS Zoid like Saberlion or the Transfighters themselves. I also noticed that the plastic quality is very good.
I have no idea where this bootleg kit was derived from...on one portion of the box, it shows that it is merging with a bootleg SD Gundam or a B-Daman or maybe a megaman toy. Please enlighten me if you have any idea about this. Anyways I decided to turn this into a Zoid.
Initially I wanted to modify the head into a cockpit but it's too small...I decided to use a spare clamshell cockpit and drilled a hole in the back to fit a peg...slap sone guns and paint in in Chrome paint....
The finished product:
The drills I painted with chrome paint. So far it turned out well. Although the cockpit hatch didn't turn out as well as I wanted since the paint is a bit too thick. I also decided to use chrome paint so as to continue the tradition of the Transfighters where they had chrome parts. Although this one is in silver since this particular TF was developed by the Empire.
The nifty thing about this kit os that it has a gimmick....twist or rotate the tail ....and the gattling guns on the chest rotate since the tail is connected to a shaft with a gear at the end of it which turns the gears on the chest guns And the drills you can attach to the gattling guns as well for the ultimate look (using the drills on another kit)
I also drilled a hole on the chest to fit the pegs of most Zoids especially the medium sized ones.
Specifications:
Armor: Guylos Dark Armor
Function as a Zoid: Demolitions, Surgical Strikes and Extra Weapons platform
Weapons: Strike Laser Claw, Killer Bite, 2-4 Diamond Coated Drills (can serve as missiles), 2x Pulse lasers . 2x Gatlling guns (chest)
Compatible Zoids: Command Wolf, Hound Soldier and God Kaiser
BATTLE STORY:
The Republic was able to push the Guylos empire back to the Dark Continent thanks to Zoids that were augmented by their Transfighters (Golgolauncher, Thunder Cannon and Shot Eagle). The Empire decided to fight fire with fire and decided to develop the TF-04X Drill Dawg.....Republic spies got wind of this and the Republic commanders sent Captain Makara to steal the Zoid and any other related data. Captain Makara was successful in stealing the Drill Dawg but not the data since it was destroyed during his escape and he also cleaned the Empire's database regarding the Zoid. It turned out that Drill Dawg wasn't fully developed yet since the Fuzing system wasn't installed. However thanks to Republic scientists and sheer luck...they were able to install a Fuzing system however since the data wasn't recovered...they can only make Drill Dawg Fuze with Houndsoldier , Command Wolf and GodKaiser and couldn't reproduce more of the ZOid. In other words Drill Dawg is one-of-a-kind and piloted by the now Commander Makara who designated it as his personal Zoid.
Don't let this Zoid's size fool you but it is capable of taking down a Deathsaurer if its pilot is careless and especially when Commander Makara launches the Drills as missiles which are carefully aimed at the core. Thanks to the drills, it is capable in digging underground and get past defenses for a surprise attack on important facilities or just plant explosives under it.
Wheew...that's it....
Anyways your comments, questions, clarifications, ponderations and violent reactions are highly appreciated:
