    Testors Model Master Paints Used:
    - Black Gloss Acrylic
    - Flat Dark Ghost Gray
    - Gold Metallic Acrylic
    - Gray (mix of black gloss and white gloss)
    - Metallic Copper (mix of orange gloss, gold metallic and silver metallic)
    - Orange Gloss Acrylic
    - Red Gloss Acrylic
    - Silver Metallic Acrylic

    Markers Used:
    - Sharpie Pen

    Replacing the original fourth member (because I'm not spending $40+ on a repaint) of the group with a character who beat up Vortex and stole his entire wardrobe, its none other than Alpha Bravo. An out of nowhere heli-bot who turned out to be a rather smashing and fun figure and whose currently going for outrageous prices on the aftermarket. Didn't have to apply that much paint this go around given how there isn't that much detail when compared to the other Combiner Wars figures. Though he makes up for it with that head sculpt, well articulated and displaying a ton of personality to boot. Now that I think about it, this mold with a retooled head (and different colors of course) could probably work as a homage to ROTF Blazemaster.

    Now THAT is how I wish Alpha Bravo looked right out of the box personally. That orange chest makes him look like his own character, and less like a weird mix of himself and Vortex.

    Nice. Personally, I wish Hasbro would re-release Alpha Bravo and Rook as slightly repainted members of "Gaia (City) Guardian", with Alpha Bravo being "Fly-Up" :

    - Fly-Up - Transformers Wiki

    The colours are pretty close. and if usd for a new Guardian bot, it would make sns fo Rook to replace the weak-sauce repaint of Groove this time around.

    Here's hoping they do that, with a red jet and a yellow drill tank used fo the other missing members of Defensor.
