    I loved this figure for a good display, hated the tank mode since the turret didn't move. So i spiced it up and someone wants it already for a trade.

    -I removed the gimmick of the spinning gun and it looks great as a empty dark barrel
    -just grays and whites, along with some gunmetal dry brushing for all the inside bits and limbs,
    -added some darker red clear paint for the chest piece and eye piece

    Unpopular (?) opinion: I think the TF:Animated colors are the best Shockwave has ever looked. I LOVE repaints of Shockwave into those (or similar) colors. And you NAILED it. I prefer your colors to the real thing.

    Something that I have never understood. If you are going to go for metalics? What not go for metallics for the entire figure?

    Bit of a pain. But once i took out the gimmick on the spinning cannon and just did the arm to see how it would turn out, i couldn't stop it looked so good

    It was my first thought, but i just wanted the gear underneath to be drybrush metallic. If the guy who has it wants to open it up you can see, never had the chance to do a full transformation. The chest piece covers alot of it
