So I have been toying with our next pop bumper launch and need some feedback. This would be a custom metal cast like Tron and others with transparent back fill resin. What do you think so far?

Quoted from dsmoke1986:

I dig it...Kind of tough to see the pops though, so not sure if it's worth all the effort.

Two are more hidden on the LE/PRem I have seen.
Thinking lock down bar emblem with the pop kit as the extreme dress up kit.
Pops first lock down next....what do you think?

How many interested bump I need a solid base to move forward with the project.

Quoted from Rickwh:

Can the fill resin be purple?

I tried to match the resin red to autobot side and purple to decepticon side. I reversed the colors to contrast the split PF colors -hoping to make it pop more (pun intended ). With this being a low production machine need to keep them as uniform as I can to keep production cost down. The honeycomb back round also will define the split down the middle.

Another question. I am looking at making the lock down bar into a 3d emblem rather than the standard sticker...any feedback on that?

I think transformers is screaming for some mods...just cant find on in my price range.

Quoted from Rickwh:

Yes movie devastator is the character associated with the pops. Artwork on the center insert and on dmd.

Can someone get me a picture to go off of...never having played game makes it a bit more difficult.

Strike that....just watched some youtube. As far as I can see the animation has an outer ring that moves around an inner ring. We are getting more detailed with the pops but thats a bit out of reach at this time

As a center shot he would be easy along with the green mouth but his image would take up the majority of the pop itself leaving very little light. I googled some shots of him ...Could do just a variant of his face with a green mouth.

These look to be smaller like acdc. Can anyone get.a clear shot of the left lower near ramp. Looks to be missing a cap like sttng.

Quoted from Rickwh:

This is a crap image but of the area in the LE

That will work. Ok so they are small.
The front left looks like stern left the plastic off. is there an obstruction or just a height difference?
They used domes mine are slim line. Just need to know if a standard 50mm round will fit there or can we go 60mm.

On hold till my machine gets here.
I want to measure the area and test fit some sizes before casting - thanks for all the tips.

Ok playing my game now and I see the interaction of the DMD with the pop action.
Maybe toothed edges face like this - back filled with a green to let light out of the mouth.
