how would you design him so that he would anime accurate in robot for and truck.
I could live with a non perfect transforming robot if it had the Diecast and articulation like or better than Masterpiece Prime.
I say two truck heads. One small version where it transforms to Daimos head.If there was only one head it would be either be too big in Robot mode or too small in truck mode. Daimos Ear lasers should be able to turn like VF1's ear turrents, and the two plates that would cover his head as truck works(with hinges). I would like to see that his eyes could light up because it is translucent. Sorta like the way they made Scourge .except his translucent backside would be smaller offcourse. His neck would bee ball jointed, however the removing of his head would take place below the neck joint so that the neck joint won't get loose or damage.
The bigger head would be needed when he is in full truck mode because like the cartoon the actual Cab is large. Also makes those two antenna that shoots in when he becomes robot come out.whe he is truck mode.
As far as Daimos' back, and trailer cover. I could live with the trailer wing(so to speak) to be removable. And a small back back(that looks like his trailer is folded like the cartoon) that attaches to the back.
Daimos should be large enough that his chest plate could separate into two hilts(actuall can attach to it later, but also have hilts that have blades already attach).And his rotating chest blades should be able to spin.
Daimos' abdomen /trunk area should have marvel legends like mobility. Kinda like how I designed my Daimos drawing.Where it allows Daimos to chest to bend down or up and twist.It could be racheted for the bending up and down so it wont get loose
His knees should be double jointed. and the groin section should be done simillar to what was done to Masterpiece Prime where the upper thigh can rotate also. The lower legs as they cave at it becomes Tranzer and vice versa should be made like Masterpiece Prime. where it can collapse easily but without sacrificing the double jointed of the knees.
His elbows should be triple jointed . and his shoulder should be ball jointed for all around movement or racheted but his deltoid should allow arms up and down movement. and a shoulder cut at the bicep to allow rotation.
His hands should have several options like Zanbot. From a multiple articulated hands to karate posing hands.
Traiper(his red car) engine wings should be able to open wide, as to the cockpit and can fin inside Daimos feet. It can be made that while in truck form its in the middle. But when you transform Tranzer in Daimos you can place the carriage where the car is in place in the foot to one of the foot.(right or left no preference)
His foot should have should be able to turn sideways and up and down, ratcheted joint would allow this without being loose. his lower leg should be able bend forwards or his feet point out.
Daimos more than any other chogokin should have the most maximum movement because that is his primary weapon.He should be able to do a sidekick and other karate moves.
last but not least should have all of his other weapons as accesories and two small statues of Ryuzaki and Erica
how would you design Daimos SOC
As far as Diecast content as long as his lower legs and chest are Diecast I could live with his other parts not being diecast.His red arm bands would be cool if they were diecast also so there wont be diffence in color from chest to arm bands .
