[英语课(×)]听孩之宝设计师Mark Maher说：传世（Legacy）骨裂开发幕后

传世加强级隐者战士（Pretender)骨裂（Skullgrin）这个项目是一个十足的挑战（，同时这东西）对我的情绪也造成了极大的破坏。

在最后一刻，这些隐者战士被批准从被删除角色的空档回归（正式开发）。自从比尔·罗利（Bill Rawley)在2010年设计了老加强级斯塔萨斯玩具（并重涂成骨裂）以来（没有再出现过这个等级的产品），我一直想要一个以超神-勇者之力(Super God-Masterforce)中山羊怪魔（Dauros)的形象（制作玩具），但（在设计中）也采用了作为原始G1玩具所展现的（造型）。

所有因素（结合在一起）相当于一个绝对关键的设计挑战，在这个挑战中，我在整个过程中都在不断地推演设计决定。

谢天谢地，我和幸日佐志(Hisashi Yuki)先生一起研究过这个家伙，他不可思议的能力不仅能投入设计，还能为制作方向提供建议，非常有帮助。

你可以在这里看到，在我为骨裂设计的概念艺术中，想保留角色的一些恶魔特征，但也要将它们与玩具机器人的元素结合起来。我真心希望能有更多的时间来讨论和绘制，我认为利用现有的艺术作品来处理人物的伪装形态才能真正有助于（节省）时间和（明确设计）方向。

然后是关于怎样才能真正实现（设计零件过渡上）平滑转换的工程。我们一点一点反复修改设计这个造型，以得到（你现在所看到的）最终结果。我对他非常满意，希望你也一样。

这家伙身上的配件是不真实的。我想要的机器人模式的规格有点像白日梦，但他为加强级伪装形态保留了大量的肌肉和身高。

他真的做出来一个强大霸天虎的存在。在这里，颜色是另一个挑战，因为你可以看到生产中出现的一些错误。

其他值得注意的是，赛伯坦前悬浮装坦克的双管枪炮塔爆能枪与效果兼容，并且附有众多5mm接口提升其延展性。双骨剑能量爆能枪有多种用途。

看我的开发故事，了解更多关于这个超级有趣人物的趣闻，同时，我希望你可以给他一个机会来光顾你的收藏，即使他没有外壳！

Legacy Deluxe Pretender Skullgrin was a project challenge that really wreaked havoc on my emotions.

.

Last minute these Pretenders were approved for slots slated for dropped characters. Ever since that old Straxus redeco toy Bill Rawley worked on in 2010, I’ve always wanted a proper Dauros from Super God Masterforce but also utilizing what was done as the original G1 toy. All of that equals an absolutely crucial design challenge in which I was constantly second guessing decisions the whole way.

.

Thank goodness I worked with Yuki san on this guy and his incredible ability to not only design but to advise direction was super helpful.

.

You can see here, in my concept art I worked up for Skullgrin, I wanted to keep some demon features of the character but also combine them with elements of the toy transforming robot. I really do wish I had more time to debate and draw but I felt utilizing existing artwork for the characters alt mode would really help with time and direction.

.

Then comes the engineering decisions on whats really possible to even obtain smooth transformation. Back and forth we went on redesigning this figure step by step to get the end result. Which I’m very pleased with the outcome and I hope you are too.

.

The accessory load out on this guy is unreal. The scale of robot mode I wanted was sort of a pipe dream but he maintains alot of beef and height for a deluxe. He really gives a strong decepticon presence. The colors were another challenge here as you can see some mistakes heppened in production.

.

Other notes are the cybertronian front hover tank duel gun turret blasters are effects compatible and also have alot of versatility with 5mm ports. The duel bone sword energon blasters can be utilized in multiple ways. Please peep my story for more cool tidbits about this super fun figure, in which, I hope you give him a chance to bless your collection, even if he is without his shell! 💀
