MECHA GREASEBAT

Can't wait to get my hands on one.

 

The Mecha Greasebat is incredible! I love how he still maintains greasebats "goofy" charm even though he is a mechanized robot. I really like all of the components to him and the story is great! I would love to see a greasebat vs mecha greasebat movie/animae in the future!

Also, what does the writing on his belly say? (I'm guessing "Mecha Greasebat" at this point.)

 

Looking good. Its going to be a great fight between these two guys.


Loved the scratches on it, battle damage is always great!

 

Well done guys. The figure looks amazing.

 

Thanks guys ! Means a lot coming from this crew, I appreciate it.

His stomach just says "Greasebat" ... Here's a foto of the sculpt by Monster 5

 

one of these days you'll squeeze in rocket firing action into the budget, and we'll all end up poking each others' eyes out. but we'll love it

 

Absolutely BRILLIANT... This looks AMAZING!!!

 

It's a killer sculpt! I can't wait to put one on my shelf.

 

amazing. more monsters need mecha counterparts.

 

Hopefully flippers dont take the extra pieces off and sell them individually ala 3A. Bastards.

 

Maybe it could be a add on accessory, or someone make it out of resin.

 

Super clean sculpt....def going to grab one of these.

 

Hope they release a grey one like the pic above.

 

agreed, you're going to have to make 20 protos

 

I just realized how fun it is going to be matching the different colored fists! Red fists on black sculpt for me. Or black on proto.

Another thing that is somewhat off-topic is that I thought about how we have no real idea how all these new original toys sound.
We know the sounds and voices of the ones that are based on TV and movie characters but how does Greasebat or MechaGB sound?

 

Interesting query! I envision it with a lot of leaking oil, intermittent steam pressure releases , coolant discharges.... just like a big, dirty piece of construction equipment or like a tank or something.

Think a large diesel turbine engine with intermittent rattles and metallic groans. When I was in the Army the M1 Abrams tanks had turbine engines, they were virtually silent until they were about 100 feet from you, totally not what you'd expect. Things like the electric turret spinning were eerily silent.. I drove a Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle ( looks like a tank) for a year, it was similarly silent, except for the big 600 HP Detroit Diesel engine, that sounded like an idling semi truck.


(me at the driver's hatch)

But MGB gets his power from a nuclear heart, so I guess he'd be pretty silent engine wise.

 

So an encounter would be like in Jurassic Park. Ripples in the glass of water and then you turn around and there he is!
It makes sense that it would sound mechanical but I saw the, what I guess is an, air vent on the side of the MGBs mouth and started to think that it was a speaker.

And I was thinking along these lines:

Does that qualify you to operate Mecha Greasebat?

Anyway good job on making a great toy! I'll be trying my best to get my hands on one!

 

MGB is amazing! I love the interchangeable fists and Monster5 killed the sculpt. I cant wait to see what the first painted will look like!

 

Finished this at 3:30 AM after a couple misfires (and some red wine!) ... going for an 80's toy vibe. The dark half will be the front.

 

^^ The header is awesome. Great job Jeff. You nailed it with the 80's vibe. I'm going to grab the painted version at SDCC. Can't wait to play with this guy!

 

Thanks everybody. Yeah I think driving a 36 ton tracked vehicle may qualify me to pilot Mecha Greasebat!

I have to say, I got mine in the mail Saturday (Thanks Chad!) and the playability aspect is fun. The regular fist comes off and with a little heat I think you could put the interchangeable fists on both hands if you wanted too.

Here's another photo of the clay sculpt prototype, you can see what a great job Monster 5 did, so clean and proportionate.



Paint applications are going to be fun, I cant wait to start using the metallic tinted vinyls.

 

insanely clean sculpt. and awesome design. great job Jeff and MW!
so do the fists just wedge on? or do they kind of snap on over a lip?

 

Thanks.

The fists- his left hand (regular fist) pops into the armhole, very snugly, and can rotate.

His right arm is a stub, covered in circuitry ...the two accessory fists slide on over the stub, with enough friction to keep from falling off.

Stole the idea from Cannibal Fuckface!

 

It is to love!
