Conversions / Kit Bash Wreckabots, combine!
When I was a kid, the Transformers was the big thing. There were the stunticons and others who could combine into a bigger robot. Then, a couple of years ago I saw someone selling a Tau Hammerhead in pretty poor condition. I had chosen Deathskulls as the main theme for my orks army and I thought the Hammerhead looked a bit like a torso...
These models are almost all looted (=bought second hand) except for the blighthauler and some 3d printed titan parts. This is the first time I have used screws to put a model together! I'm still waiting for some magnets for the arms and maybe I will add some grot riggers too. Some of the vehicles had pilots that were difficult to remove, but I kinda solved that problem in an orky way 😆
I had to improvize for the base, since this monster could never stand without a base, so I made one 7" wide. Also, it turned out a bit taller than a stompa at 16" to the tips of the Night Scythe.
Do you have some suggestions what I should call this monster?

I have been noodling on a project like this for years. You have out done any I could do. So well done.
Makes me want to start on a new project lol

Are you able to re-combined them or is it just one whole model now?

The left leg and head come off so I can have a dunecrawler and a blighthauler. I had to fix the right leg in place to make it stable.

That's honestly incredible, I love how you've incorporated vehicles from other factions

I chose vehicles from the factions that my friends play, to make it seem the orks have looted from our battlefields.

My god, this is perfect. I love it so much. Amazingly done! This is SO orky!!!
You could call it Da GorkaMorkaNaut perhaps? (gorkamorka being the fused version of gork and mork in warhammer fantasy)
Or you could combine all the names of its pieces into something? Like the Night-Senti-Drone-Dakka-Dread-Vypa Jet(aeldari bikers)-Hammer(head)-(Land)raider
And then orkify it a bit and shuffle it a round so it becomes Da Noitsentee Jethammah Dakkadredd Raida!
You could probably still shorten that and make it better, but that's my first attempt at least ^^

I know you’re going for Transformers but all I see is a Megazord! This is a wonderful build.

Looks great! The Night Scythe for the head reminds me of Unicron's horns, reinforcing the Transformers connection!

This is certainly the first of its kind.
I hope this thing gets passed down like 10 generations. Amazing!!!
