Here is the nearly completed robot mode Silverbolt, the credit goes out to a couple guys for inspiration but I'll do the full write up when he is done.

ooks good, like the show when coloured too. will it transform though the show cheated with the maximals from what i can tell (only had vehicons)

Looks good. Heads a bit off, it should be longer and thinner, but Im sure once painted it will look much better!

Ooooh exciting! I've been wanting to see an updated version of this guy forever!!!

I would have liked to make the neck longer to help the proportions of the head but there are space limitations and yes it will transform. It won't be the perfect represention but I think it will still be an inprovement over the original. The wings won't parts form but they will be removable as they cause the bot mode to suffer.

Here is a mock up from a year ago

That should look the part when painted and finished for sure.

what are the wings from? Btw it looks fantastic! Lightyears ahead of the actual figure.

The wings come from a gundam kit. I believe Wing Zero can't remember the scale but I pretty sure its the mid-level version.

And thanks for the compliment.

So I finally got off my butt and finished the fabrication for Silverbolt. I got the beast head in, the wings on, and the tail feathers attached. The Condor mode was always expected to be the weaker mode but I think it close enough that people will understand what I was going for and I think that it turned out better than the official figure.

I really don't like parts forming so I designed the wings to be fully intergrated into the transformation. They store on the back and will hopefully be less noticable when painted.

But knowing that it would still look not great, I made them easily removable.
