I would have thought action-masters, but it could be quite a bit of work although possible. Also would be quite expensive.

Attacktix or Robot Heroes? They plentiful and cheap, but may not be long enough.

AM's would be veeeery expensive. figure about $10 a bot, plus the work to make them sturdy enough and mount them... i think you ought to stick with stock fooseball table.

instead of replacing the fooseball men, why don't you just paint them in Transformer designs? So, paint one team up as different Autobot characters, and one up as different Decepticon characters.

that is a good idea ill have to think about that

Post by **Time Traveller** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 9:58 am

it would be infinitely easer and they'd work better as fooseballers. good call, rocktimus!

I agree with Rocktimus. It would be alot cheaper to just re-paint the figures into Autobots and Decepticon Colors!

Or even just put Autobot stickers on one set and con stickers on the other.

Yeah! Maybe for the goalie's heads you can buy/find a couple of those Cap Toys sucker holders! They are the heads of Optimus prime and Megatron.

You could glue the halves of the sucker holder together then drill a hole through the bottom to slip over the goalie heads!

As a matter of fact if you like I know of a place that has them still! I'll get you a couple of you like and ship them to you....all free! (if they still have it)

if you do paint them, you will have to find a fairly robust varnish/laquer substance to coat it. You don't want to have to keep repainting or retouching players, as standard paint would most likely chip fairly easily.

Depends what the players are made out of too, giving them a sand before painting them might help too.

You could do Topspin vs Twin Twist...I'll even donate the figures to you

LOL

now that would be funny

Seriously, you wanna do it?
Pay me for shipping, and post the result here and I'll do it!
How many figures would that be? 11 each, right?

Ha Ha Finally TopSpin And TwinTwist Will Serve A Purpose.

At Least It Will Be A Cheap Fix If One Breaks.

well trance i tried to pm you. for some reason it wouldnt let me but anyways i am going to try this once i get my room put together when that happens i will let you know and we can work something out but this sounds like an awsome idea i may paint either topspin or twintwist in decpticon colors though so its on blue and white vs blue and white lol

Hah!

Ok sweet

It will be nice to see them doing something productive, rather than just laying around in their box!

Keep me posted.
BTW, your PM did go thru =)
