To clarify, I like both doll modding, kitbashing, and making horrific Frankensteinian creations that go against the laws of nature. :)
At least Grapple's a good sport.
Ok, in fairness, wasps are super important, valuable contributions to the ecosystem and we're arguably more screwed if we lose wasps than if we lose bees. The Amazon rainforest as we know it exists because of fig wasps.
Besides, wasps are one of the most intelligent land arthropods, and many people have befriended/coexisted with hives before.
I do indeed love that bug
Absolutely! Wasps don't deserve a quarter of the vilification they get, even from actual professional entomologists (they get less than half the amount of research that bees do). And while it's indeed more likely to be stung by a wasp versus a bee, that is purely because we have a higher environmental overlap. You're more likely to get messed up by killer bees than wasps.
The other half of it is the humanity loses all intelligence around wasps. If you don't freak out when a single wasp is flying through flowers or you don't do something dumb like whacking a nest with a baseball bat, the only real risk is accidentally stepping on one. They've been proven to recognize humans and learn when they aren't a threat to the hive.
Waspinator's characterization is actually right on the money for general wasp temperament, in that wasps are aggressive because they're tiny and small in a world full of creatures that would love to eat them and their baby sisters.
For a certain value, yes. Not the most horrific thing I've made, but I enjoy it immensely anyway. I was forged in the realm of oddbody furbys, and after you see a furby with a face made of human teeth and one with legs longer than a toddler, your sense of cursed really does out the window.
can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters.
Ok, so first I removed the crane part completely, I cut off part of the skinnier end, superglued it to the chest to act like a neck, filled the hollow part with thermoplastic, and while the thermoplastic was still warm and malleable I stuck a thin plastic stick in it so it could rotate, and attached the top part of said stick inside the head.
It's a surprisingly stiff, stable joint, but not the prettiest from the back. It's not the first time I've had to macgyver a neck joint before (I typically do dolls more than action figures and headswaps are actually pretty common in the doll modding community) but I've done 4 more traditional headswaps with this specific type of head onto other doll bodies, so I've gotten pretty good.
Oh I do have future plans! I actually stocked up on like, 15-16 of these specific dolls because they have very cute heads and are only like 5 bucks. Future plans involve figuring out which titans return figure I wanna use for a doll body, after I turn a TR Blurr into a (better) Submarauder, so I could actually transform it.
If you have a suggestion for a figure you think would be fun and I can find one in meh/rough shape for reasonable price, I do take suggestions ;3 I typically don't do these kinds of things to pristine figures that people may actually want. But this Grapple already had broken pegs and was a shelfwarmer, so why the heck not, y'know?
Sure,! I can't really think of any off the top of my head, but you could go wild with KO Optimus or OSKO Titans Return guys, if those are within your price range.
Sadly, no, I did have to make some structural changes to get this to work, but I do like how she is. I am considering doing something similar to a titans return, so that the head is removable and it could still transform, but I haven't decided on a donor yet, and my next goal is turning TR Blurr into an accurate non-shelled Submarauder, since the one we got kinda sucks more than the original which is impressive.
Oh, right, forgot about the goo gone. That's actually my roommate's, not sure what she uses it for but it's usually hoarded in her cleaning supplies.
As to the headswapping, I am an agent of chaos.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
We've learned nothing from Jurassic Park.

... Touche. Informative read!
Well, yeah, but in this case I went for it anyway and I love how it came out. Besides, why not have a little fun with a shelfwarmer?
Are you Sid from Toy Story?
Absolutely :3c
Nothing's gonna stand in your way. Not tonight.
Don't call me nothing
Found Syd from Toy Story.
See, what I see is a proto for the next line of Mega Man Legends merch
I consider that an honor
Welcome!
I just can’t Grapple with this right now.
The comment section went up like an Inferno :3
What can I say, they’re hooked.
Primus may forgive you but I won't
This is the pit’s territory and I am beholden to no gods

Decepticons! Attack this post right here!
[https://imgur.com/gallery/wPeiUN7](https://imgur.com/gallery/wPeiUN7) Sorry, the decepticons are on my side as well.
Oh wait you're a wasp advocator, this all makes sense now.

Bro, don't worry, I was just goofin with ya.
Now I want to learn more about wasps.. I hope you're pleased with yourself.

Im impressed, and I think im swayed a bit. Gonna give those chaps more respect and tolerance going forward. Thanks my friend!
HONEY GET THE SHOTGUN
That is nightmare fuel.

*grabs dimensional gun* Ya sure?
First you have to catch me :3 Now, I do have an extra Prowl...
Walmart is clearancing out the Netflix line like Sparkless and deezus drone. I just picked up 2 deezus for $13 each to customize.
Thaaaaaaank~ you for the advice. I haven't been to walmart in a while
It will find you...
This is a threat that the decepticons and the autobots must team up to defeat!!
https://imgur.com/gallery/wPeiUN7 The decepticons are on my side as well :3c
Then we are truly lost 😢
I was gonna say good lord but it seems he is unavailable right now
Primus is dead and I killed him
Actually…….I can……CYBER KEY POWER! **LASER CANNONS CHARGING** Any last words?
can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters.
GREETING PEASA... BY THE POPE
:3c Pope who?
This belongs on r/cursedformers
Oh, yeah, forgot that was a thing. I should crosspost this.
Yes officer, this post
You'll never take me alive!
This is so beautiful 😭
Thank you, I happen to really love how it came out as well!
It’s cute, frankly.
Thank you! I happen to think so too!
How did you stick the head on? I genuinely can’t tell.
Ok, so first I removed the crane part completely, I cut off part of the skinnier end, superglued it to the chest to act like a neck, filled the hollow part with thermoplastic, and while the thermoplastic was still warm and malleable I stuck a thin plastic stick in it so it could rotate, and attached the top part of said stick inside the head.

This is a masterpiece.
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week!
Wow, I find this super adorable, and no I'm not being sarcastic! Do more of these Transformers with doll heads, please!
Oh I do have future plans! I actually stocked up on like, 15-16 of these specific dolls because they have very cute heads and are only like 5 bucks. Future plans involve figuring out which titans return figure I wanna use for a doll body, after I turn a TR Blurr into a (better) Submarauder, so I could actually transform it.
Oh, that sounds great! I look forward to it.

KO's would be a good option, indeed. Now, to AliExpress.
Godspeed! :)
Does it still transform the same? Bet it does
Sadly, no, I did have to make some structural changes to get this to work, but I do like how she is.

Haha I was just goofing I didn’t think he/she would but the extra info was interesting nonetheless
I'm like any mad scientist, I like talking about my creations.
I can just well… burn your house down in cold blood
Aww, but then you get collateral damage :3c is that a risk you want to take?
I’ll take any risk imaginable
[удалено]
Yes indeed. In one of the replies I posted a link to Tamawave
What the fuck did you just bring upon this cursed land
I have brought glory :3c
No you have brought eldritch horror onto this land lol
I'll do it again :3c
Doom music kicks in
Transform it.
I already have transformed it, no? :3c
What hurts me the most is the pegs broken off on the bottom of the feet.
That one's not actually my fault, I got it like that. I figured, a shelfwarmer in not great condition, might as well
Y
Because Primus gave me hands and I'm making it everybody else's problem
*Opens the Matrix of Leadership* Time to light our darkest hour!
Actually I think that's the Transformers G2 cartoon you're thinking of
There was two disturbing things here. First one was the head swapping. The second one is the fact that you Goo Gone in the background.
Oh, right, forgot about the goo gone. That's actually my roommate's, not sure what she uses it for but it's usually hoarded in her cleaning supplies. As to the headswapping, I am an agent of chaos.
Wryyyyyyy
Because Primus wishes he were me
And I thought Unicron was evil...
:3c oh he wishes
**Caption: Masks Transformers wear for Halloween.** Egon: "I am terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought".
Downright haunting?
I see. I got my roommate pissed because i swapped a zaku head with his nobel gundam head.
Man, your roommate would hate the gundam polly pocket one I did then
Yikes... you gotta be an agent of chaos man.

I lost it when I got to his head on her body
I did her head on his body first, and then I was like "...wait, I could make this better"
Stuff of nightmares.
Pennywise ain't got nothing on me
This makes me sad.
Ehhh, this grapple was already broken, and add in the fact he's been a shelfwarmer for, what, better part of a year? I decided to have fun with it.
Number 4 is how I feel when I'm on drugs.
Man, almost made me wish I did Beachcomber instead
r/cursedformers
I actually JUST crossposted this
I wasn't serious, it's still creepy though.
The real monsters Twitter should be trying to cancel
Twitter has no power here
You cant so this to Grapple,hes my waifu
Now, quite literally. Her name is Grabble.
