    To redline: I was adding the magnet connector by hollowing out his back and he fell and snapped in half

    To AutoFanatic: Clocker is my best choice for a replacement..........

    I don't really know what to say about the paint job. It looks caked on. Also, wouldn't it be better to refrain from painting until you've done all the necessary mods and the 5 figures can connect? I still want to see where this goes, though.

    Since you are a fellow customizer, you know what a pain in the ass it is to paint with white. the only part of computron that will need modding is Afterburner

    just checking out your computron thread, nice to se i am not alone;) 

    I work like a demon, so he should be done soon.

    oddly enough alot of the suggestions given here, are exactly the bots i used. and I had never seen this thread, i just signed up 2 weeks ago, haha. here's a WIP pic.

    my scattorshot is nothing like you've seen i'm sure. good ol ADHD.

    I can't say I've actually painted a custom with white before. I've heard it's a pain in the ass, true, but I was referring to the overall job and not just the white. It just seems caked on is all.

    I'm not trying to bash you or anything. You've certainly done more than I have. I have a project set aside for a Red Alert repaint using the Sunstreaker /Sideswipe mold so I may know the frustrations of painting with white soon enough.


    That does look great.

    well he is about 3 inches inches taller than MP prime, and nose cone is from an E. stormcloud, with E.Shockblast's treads , and a drill from an old "braves"line toy. sorry that one is not the easy one;) 

    he is only slightly shorter than my G2 devs.
