On January 18 2017, I had an idea.
What if Combiner Wars Liokaiser could have been done differently?
I established that it was pretty unlikely Takara would do it anytime soon, so I began to formulate a plan. After a little browsing, I found this:

It seemed like a promising plan, that could utilize the Air Raid, and Drag Strip molds. However, there were a few things that could use work. First off, the transformation would have likely required additional parts to link together. Secondly, those hips! I'd feel bad if I had to lug around huge wheels on my hips, like Jarugar is. I wanted the figures to be proportionate, and maintain accuracy. So, I began to work my magic.
After a few months of modelling, I got this for Jarugar:

Yes, I know, It's a very rough mockup, but it does get the point across. The wheels were decreased in size, the legs extended, and a snap-on canopy was added to the top, to mimic his dune-buggy alternate mode. Yet something still seemed off.
Of course! Knees! Liokaiser needed knee, if one were to make an accurate interpretation of the big guy, so after about two month's work, I now have successful knees, for the 'ol lion himself.
Prepare yourself for some image-bombing! (link below images)
