    These were some minicons I repainted into BW characters a few years back. I've recently started working on the series again, so I thought I'd show my old works first. Most of them aren't kind of bad, and quick a few characters need to just be redone from scratch.
    Still, gotta start somewhere, right?



    Optimus Primal:
    This works pretty decently as a Gorilla, but horribly as a Robot.

    Rhinox:
    I'm surprised how will this mold worked out for this. I may revisit this if I ever get another triceradon minicon and just alter the leg transformation.

    Airazor:
    You can tell this was the last minicon I painted before I stopped for awhile. Out of all of them, this is the one I WON'T have to redo anytime soon I feel.

    Wolfang:
    This is obvious. Getting the predacon pack for Cheetor(Not Shown. Embarassingly bad mold) and Airazor meant I had a wolf as well. So I repainted him like the original BW Wolfang toy.

    Megatron:
    Probably the mold that inspired me to start this. I actually swapped the waist around to keep the t-rex head on the correct side. The lower jaw arm works perfectly as a BW Megatron tailarm.

    Terrasaur:
    The robot mode(despite a bad paintjob) does work well. But the beast mode was just awful. I'll admit I was creative with it, but it just doesn't work.

    Scorponok:
    Despite lacking a scorpion tail in robot mode, overall the mold works nicely in my opinion. Since I already have a spare of this mold, I'll be showing that off once it's done.

    I'm not happy with most of these, and it's a little embarrassing to show old work like this, but I am excited to show some of the ones I've been working on recently so it kinda had to be done.

    Your Scorponok looks like a Swarm Host from Starcraft 2.
