RF-006 – Gold Scout Upgrade Kit

Leave a comment

The RF-006 Gold Scout upgrade kit, is the first in a series to upgrade the Classics Bumblebee mold, into other G1 minibot characters.  The Gold Scout kit was created to make a Classics Goldbug character out of a spare Bumblebee figure in your collection.  There are four different sets, based on colors.  The main set, is the G1 blue, follow by black, yellow, and RTS orange.  Each kit comes with a new head sculpt, two medium sized hand blasters, a small mini gun, and a collectors card.  With the various colors, its possible to upgrade any version of the Classics Bumblebee into Gold Bug, based on your preference.  This kit is currently in production.

The breakdown of the various versions below is for the regular releases.  Early bird paid preorders received a second, solid blue visor, and included the bonus mini hand gun in either blue, or black, based on votes on the Renderform facebook page.  The original kit was intended to come with two visors, clear and solid.  Starting with the Pay Later preorders, the solid visor has been replaced with a gray mini hand gun.  The mini hand gun was created after kits went into production, and was never originally factored into the sets.

RF-002X – Mach Red Upgrade Kit

Leave a comment

The RF-002X Mach Red upgrade kit was a special edition version of the regular RF-002 kit.  This version was also intended for the Skyfall figure.  The intention was to create the “heroic” version, based on his bio alluding to Skyfall being a double agent.  This kit was limited to only 40 sets, based on the orders received within the time period of one week.  The final kit came in a red color, where the original version was black.  The parts in the kit included the helmet, several visors in various colors, two red rifles, 1 translucent green rifles, and 2 red mini guns.  The set also include a collectors card, and a “tech spec” card.  Some of the parts were a secret bonus, which customers did not find out about, until kits were delivered.  These parts are not pictured below.
Current status: Not in production.

RF-005 – Upgrade Garage Kit Final Photos

Leave a comment

Below are the final photos for the RF-005 garage kit, upgrade set for Uni. Darkwind.  This set comes with the following:

1x Helmet
1x Translucent Purple Visor
1x Translucent Red Visor
1x Solid Purple Visor
2x Plasma Blaster guns

The final price will be $35 CAD plus shipping.  This kit will be limited to 350 sets.  The kit is not currently available for public ordering.  Please check back here, and the Renderform Facebook page on when the kit will go up for sale.  They will be sold in three batches of 50 sets.  I will give a one week notice to give people time to be aware of the sales.

Please be aware, this kit is a hand made item, like all other Renderform items, which are considered garage kits.  It is made with urethane plastic resin.  Since it is a garage kit, once in hand, some might feel certain parts can be better finished, based on their level of customization.  For the most part, kits can be installed right out of the package though.

As well, also be aware of the following two notes about this specific garage kit.

The grey color on the guns and helmet will not be 100% matched to the toy.  This is impossible with my limited resources.  However, it will be close as possible.

There is a QC issue you must be aware of.  Once the helmet is attached, there is a gap between the two parts.  I’ve done my best so far to figure out a solution to fix this, but haven’t found any to date.  You can see this issue in one of the photos.  It might be possible to close the gap by gluing the helmet.  One of the reasons this gap occurs is because the screw is higher up, to accommodate the LED in the neck joint.  If I had access to smaller screws, I might have been able to fix this issue for sure. But it’s not certain really.  I’ve shown the finished head to several TF fans/collectors.  Their reaction is mixed. So I expect the same from all of you online.  I feel for display purpose, the gap won’t be an issue.  But if you will be playing with the toy, you might notice it a lot, when viewing from the side.  I will try to see if I can fix it before shipping, but I can not guarantee anything.
