Meh. Call me when they release the "lunchtime special" Grey Goose Vodka Optimash Prime... y'know... he'll cost a fortune, be clear and you'd have to be drunk to buy it. Yet he will STILL make you throw up.

I kid. Nice one, Cappie.

Not one with the scope/stock/silencer package. That was a Man from UNCLE creation, they even had a toy version that came in a carrying case with the gun plus the three accessories.

Here's a subtle upgrade I did on Classics 2.0 Sunstreaker(don't forget to click on the photos fot the full image):

A little black on the body to bring him closer to the G1's look.

here's a WIP pic of my interpretations of 'hotswipe' and decepticon sideswipe. Reprolabels are on the way....
Image

I don't think anybody has made a decepticon version with the 'skywarp' color scheme before. I haven't started to paint hots yet, I'm trying to decide between yellow or orange to use on him, to break up all the red. I'll also paint hot's chrome parts silver, his chrome is gone.

EDIT:2/3/08 still waiting on my decals, here's a little update:

And here's some old keychain minicars I made:

here's a little custom I made today.

Image

Starting life as a sad KO of Ravage, a little panel lining and some white and now he's a G1 Tygatron. I've got a yellow one that's earmarked to become Cheetor, once I feel I can paint some decent cheetah spots.

Looking good. I bought 2 extra Acid Storms that one day may become Sunny and Thundercracker. I'm gonna try my hand at a Dirge first. A very good friend here sent me a Ramjet that I'm going to try it out on.

Cool! LMK if I can be of any help with your projects.

I've considered doing a Dirge, coz I've always been a little disappointed by the Botcon version. Of course, now I've got my eye on the redesigned Henkei versions. But I've also got this nagging thought in the back of my mind that keeps saying "Don't buy the Henkeis, Hasbro will use the redesigns as a way to not go back on their word from Botcon."
