    I've done a few of these! Still my favourite custom to do.
    I bought a new Acid Storm for this. Endless prep work, then priming the figure and all accessories. Days of work there.

    I really tried with G1 cartoon colours. No blends or metallic. Just flat colours.
    Black upper legs, silver elbows and silver under the knees, purple waist etc. That famous cartoon still of Hotlink I must've looked at a crazy amount of times!

    Finished in gloss varnish. The flamethrower and tanks attach in robot and alt mode.

    With Hasbro giving us Acid Storm and Sun Storm, i wouldn't be surprised if they gave us Hotlink and the others.

    Amazing work, as always!

    The crispness to your painting always impresses.

    Oh, that's nice. This one makes me want one for my shelf too. It'd look great with Acid Storm and McSunstorm and complete yet another Seeker trio. Keep 'em coming Gonzo!

    Massive compliment. I'm not sure about that, but means a lot to me you saying that. Thank you.

    Cheers.

    It will happen one day ;) 

    Thank you.

    Thanks mate,
    I should try and get a new picture up. I've painted the area under the knee silver like the picture you posted.
