    I never planned on doing this custom but I was cleaning out some stuff and came across my TFC Verti-Aid and bam it hit me. So I jumped right on it and got this guy finished up which actually led to me starting a few more Gobots I never thought of doing.

    I try to go for more of the cartoon look than toy so I didn't add the Navy on the tail fin because I didn't see it in the cartoon. It's possible I missed it though so I'll check again. Another thing is in the cartoon there were times where the rotor blades were on his back and times they weren't so I made them to be removable.

    Wow... I'm staggered by how bang-on you got him looking compared to the original Gobot. That's fantastic! Res-Q looks great too!

    Man o Man I'm loving all this Gobot love!!!!! Seriously....thanks to all of you guys for the kind words and support. 99% of you guys are the same ones who have commented on every single one of my Gobots whether they were complete or wips so I know you're Gobot fans as well. You guys are part of the reason I'm so hype and motivated to keep going with these guys. Thanks to you all!!!!
    If you liked what I've done so far just wait I've got a lot more coming with plenty of surprise characters. So keep your eyes peeled and again thank you all for the support

    Dude, Gobots were awesome little toys, and I love the way you're 'updating' them with your customs while keeping the classic styling. Keep it up! :D
