    Motormaster has had black added in vehicle mode. Here you can see his bumper and fenders. Of course I painted the rims.


    0AE3E30F-243E-4A3F-80EA-C54970791982.jpeg
    Here you can see the black rear fenders and also painted taillights and turn signals on his feets.


    C474A974-3516-42E5-9974-48D1575E921E.jpeg Many of his torso molded details were picked out in black along with the leg vents.


    CEFEF1BA-C51D-4F13-8ABA-3263263D094B.jpeg Breakdown had had the least amount of changes. His deco was already good, in fact the only thing I changed was removing his stupid 1 5 R A C I N G tampo

    Oh and some stickers from the sticker sheet

    Dead End. Widely considered to be the best Stunticon. I find his toy the most enjoyable to fiddle with. He probably wouldn't like that people derive happiness from him. Here's a painted grille detail and not much else on the front.

    Dead End got some taillights and turn signals so people can quit running into him

    This is IMO the best proportioned robot on the Stuntisquad

    If he had a mouth he'd be screaming right now. He doesn't and that makes him depressed

    Drag strip is very yellow. He already had all the detail I really wanted so I didn't add any paint

    Admit it. This looks less stupid than two bigass Gatling guns

    Interesting choice of deco with the blue face... I'm not brave enough to fix it

    Okay now that I've got that out of my system... Here we are with Menasor. I love this fanmode because it makes it more proportionate. To do so, simply transform the arms as normal, transform the legs like they're going to be arms (extending Breakdown's feet and spoiler) the transform Motormaster like this

    Thank you to @DrOblivian for selling me the Stunticons for such a good price! Until next time I'm @pilotmaster70!

    Thanks to all these guys!
    Okay I have figured out a better way to incorporate Blackjack and make a better torso all in one easy step!

    First transform Blackjack like this
    A44F5141-41E7-4E3F-B7F4-AAF72184D4A2.jpeg

    Then insert him like this
    05BE92B7-7720-4E50-905A-A75A21EB9464.jpeg

    Then you get a torso that looks complete from the back, like this!

    Isn't Dead End supposed to be an Arm?
    Well, this is a VERY good custom. Bravo.

    Well...
    A cursory glance at tfwiki would say no. If one looked closer you are correct, he is...

    I appreciate the creativity, but I have two words for you dude. Masking tape.

    I always get worse overbleed with masking tape because it will never adhere correctly so paint just goes under it

    Also pictures aren't all that flattering. This doesn't look near as bad in person.

    Hey look it’s my Combiner dealer!

    Testors model masters acrylic. For the black on Motormaster it was applied with a small brush. For all the other colors it was applied with toothpicks and patience.

    How is Blackjack staying attached? Does he actually peg in?

    He sort of slides in. He’s held in by the locking tabs on Motormaster’s arm panels. It’s very sturdy though
