    After seeing this guy in the TFCC Comic I had to try my hand at him. I obviously used the Beast Hunters Ratchet mold for the base figure and gave him as close to the figure's paint job that I could see in the comic. I never did see an alt mode, so I did my best with that. He'll stay in bot mode all the time anyway, so it did not matter too much to me. What do you think?

    Great idea! And I think his alt mode was an animal or wolf or something.

    Jawbreaker and Frostbite are some of my favorite molds. Just so much character in the actual figure. I still keep them on display, for example.

    And blue like that is my favorite color, so I got to say:

    I love the idea. Looks great. If I ever found a spare of that fig cheap, I'd definitely consider doing one myself, it looks really cool.

    Very very nice, I love how clean the paint looks! The coloring is great and the only thing I would maybe change would be to pick out the windows with some lighter blue or a white or something, just so the windows don't disappear in the blue.

    that is slick. kinda makes me jealous cause 1. i missed all chances to get an extra bh ratchet and 2. cause shiny paints and me don't match well and it wouldn't look as smooth for me

    Love it. Looks perfect. This is my favorite type of custom. Straight repaint that looks like it was made to be that character.

    Yeah I realized I failed to paint the fake windows while I was taking the pictures, but with the actual windows remaining clear, the "fake" ones might look out of place if I painted them black or another color.

    Thanks. I had to go out and find one too! Try Tamiya spray paints if you want a smooth look. It is by far the best, thinnest paint I have ever worked with.

    Thanks. I appreciate that.

    While I always enjoy seeing stuff done by fans of the BW show cast. I really like seeing fans doing something with a character not on the show itself.

    This is really good.

    Very nice! Never would have thought of this. (I haven't read the comic in question.)
