Venksta dropped by once again to give us an update on a new project that’s taking preorders already at the Renderform Store, one that should please the Generation 2 Enthusiasts whom also liked the first set of Stunticon weapons he released. Generation 2 colored weapons! Each of the weapons seems to be tailored to match the accent colors of each of the Stunticons, and more, there are also three variants of the Menasor/Motormaster cannon, a nice purple, a generation 2 turquoise that is color matched to the Hasbro Hands and feet, and a final Prototype Green surprising varient that is color matched to the Generation 2 Prototype toy. Also teased is a weapon for Blackjack, which will be a freebie and in one of the same three colors as the Eliminator Rifle for those who purchase the four gun set and the Eliminator Rifle.
Additionally, those whom may have been turned off by the roughness of the original prototypes of the Road Bandit and Road Shogun heads might want to give the generation 2 colored ones a look as these are actual production pieces and represent the impressive final product that includes two different faces!
These items are set to be limited with only seventy five sets of the weapons being made available and only thirty sets of each of the Menasor heads. So act now or miss out and join the discussion on these items!

I ordered the Eliminator rifle and really like the way it looks. But I think it's weight has caused an issue with mine. I've had it for about a month and have had it in Menasor's hand for that time.
When I went to take everything apart, I noticed that the 5mm peg was bent. Menasor can no longer hold the rifle straight. Has anyone else noticed this issue with theirs?

Hey everyone, the only people who should be waiting on these items are those who combined ordered with any of the combaticon weapon set or Blastoff kits. If you only ordered the G2 Stunticon items, and never got them or an email confirmation, please get in touch with me by sending me a PM here.

I swear you have the coolest garage, Venksta. Every time you post a pic of the works-in-progress I picture you with mad scientist hair and lightning bolts and stuff.
I really like that green, it just pops! I may yet have to order another piece…

now i may need a turquoise one too damn

Right now, here are the stats:
Green: 33
Turqoise: 30
Purple: 16
Based on both paid and unpaid orders. I thought the purple would be more popular, since it was the less extreme looking compared to the other two.
So production has been under way this past week. Due to the amount of orders I got, I decided to machine a new mold for the barrel tips of the Menasor rifle. I only got two complaints, from the over 300 of the original versions I sold, about the alignment on the barrel tips, not being even. This part was gang molded with the main rifle. After some time, from casting each mold copy, the alignment went off, and it was hard to trim it to look good. I was going to originally just leave it alone, since only 2 people complained, but decided in the end to make a dedicated mold for the tips. So since I didn't inspect the original master mold file, the new barrel tips are longer, and resulting with this last batch of rifles being a remold now. The mold line is also nice and crisp, and over all, the barrel is also much smoother, which I'm really happy with.
Here are some behind the scenes photos of some of the castings so far.

Got my order in a couple days ago.
Venksta, out of sheer curiosity, which color Motormaster/Menasor gun has sold the most? I went back and forth a lot before settling on purple – they all look to match the "in your face extreme neon!" G2 colors so well.
Venksta
The mini guns for BlackJack, are the closest to lucky draws for this round.
Atomatron
will there be g2 lucky draws? what translucent color if so?
Venksta
Just a friendly reminder that there is only one week left to order both the G1 style and G2 stunticon weapons and Menasor heads. After March 31st, all of these items will be discontinued! To see whats available, visit the following link:

Update: Also only 5 RF-18 Road Bandit (G1 Toon style) heads left. This has been more popular than the Shogun toy style head.
Lord Dcast
Seems like most people want the Bandit head. I prefer the Samurai one.
Also I didn't get the gun but whatever.
Mighty Menasor
I love combiner wars G2 Menasor, it's special so it deserves the Renderform upgrades. I just bought the turquoise gun, bandit head, & deluxe guns. The guns really help fill in the blanks left by Hasbro and further bring out that flashy G2 goodness. Can't wait!!
Venksta
Send me a PM with your email address, and I'll see what I can do.

I ordered the green rifle and 2 heads.
didnt see until now that the blackjack gun is a bonus only if you order the rifle and guns sets together. is it too late to add the guns? any other way to get the blackjack gun?
Lord Dcast
Ordered. I'll have it paid by the 1st of April. Probably this Friday actually, but it depends on how much easter chocolate costs.
Lord Dcast
Okay thanks. It shouldn't take longer than a week.
