well, i hit the dollar store, but was dissapointed there was no more plastic T-rexes left and noticed a Triceratops and a Rhino beetle. I have no idea what compelled me to combine the two monsters but here's a WIP.
any suggestions for how to help transition the beetle parts to the dinosaur body? Also, any suggestions for Kaiju sounding names for this beast? . and there a few more pics in my photobucket gallery.

That's damn nifty!
Not sure about the transition… what would stick to that kind of… vinyl?
Paintjob will probably tie it together nicely. |

Greenstuff seems to be sticking to it fine. I imagine there's a few epoxy putties that work on vinyl too. |

well, here are the mostly finished pictures of Beetallo. Ugh, this thing needs a better name.
I haven't come up with a final name yet, but I imagine it as a kind of benevolent Mothra-like kaiju. In monster Island, I'm thinking of giving it the Jump ability since beetles don't really fly as much as they crash into things. I kind of want to make it less strong in striking attacks, but great at ramming, and grappling. So maybe a bonus to throwing and piledriving? |

Cool! Using the Kaiju Name Generator link I kinda like:
Bogmondo
Yagug
Yugonga
Garorgle
Mogadi
Yamomosi
Seeserog
Nogmogog Might be cool to have a couple of optional 6mm children riding on his back. |

Beetlesaurus
Armordon
Scutatherium
Bugceratops
Rhinobug
Bugdozer
Brontobeetle
Volkswagenus Maximus ("scientific" name)
The Great Horned One (native name, translated)
Lord Guardian Anyway, the critter looks a darn sight better than half the stuff that showed up in Gamera movies. Case in point:

That's really good. It reminds me a bit of Antlar from Ultraman.
How about Monoceros or Chitusk (pronounced Kai-Tusk)? |

I'm thinking I'm going with Kabutosaur, but I'm tempted by Volkswagonus. |

well, I rigged up a simple lightbox so I can take better pictures. here's Kabutosaurus.
