    This is my second take on vortex basically to complement my blast off and ease the wait for bruticus. Thanks for looking :)

    Amazing how much better it looks without the random bits of red and yellow.

    So subtlety colored, infinitely superior to the garish retail version!

    I totally prefer your version over what we've seen from Hasbro. Much easier on the eyes.

    Have you considered making the missiles look like cannons? Like, since they're cylinders, just cut off the noses and fins and put tiny holes in the ends. I feel like that would be a good way to give Vortex different arms without disarming the Combaticon.
