    I really like how Terrorsaur and BA are looking. :thumb 

    I also like the idea of a Starscream colored Waspinator. That along with your G1 Transmetal Megatron would look very nice.

    I like the Idea of dark blue on jetstorm... possibly metalic, or pearlecant. I myself am working on a Beast Wars reimagining.

    Which Jetstorm do you guys like best?

    #1 This color-scheme is nearly the same as the original. I've only made the pinkish orange a bloody red, the black became green and the green a lime green plus a lighter type of green.

    #2 I kinda did a throwback to Beast Machines' Jetstorm here. It looks nice but the problem is that that particular iteration of Jetstorm has no business being in BW seeing as he turns out to be Silverbolt as a Vehicon in BM. Makes no sense for the two to exist in the same time period.

    #3 I really liked the idea of using blue from the previous version so I made some changes and got this. I'm imagining a nice metallic/chrome blue here. I absolutely love it, but the problem is the colors aren't very menacing for a Predacon and feel like it would fit a Maximal better, so I'm hesitant to go for that one.

    #4-5 With these two I decided to go back to my original colors but moved them around a bit. It looks pretty decent and menacing I think. However there is already many Predacons that are heavy on green (Manterror, Sky Shadow...)

    My 2 favorites are #3 and #5.

    I like either 3 or 4 ... but i think that 3 needs coloured dragonfly eyes and a darker blue like 2.

    I'd recommend you go for Beast Machines Jetstorm's coloration, which had light and dark blue to it.

    I like Color sceme 2 but think it could look better with yellow or orange beast mode eyes

    I'm gonna say #3, but suggest that to make it a little more evil-looking, you go for a metallic midnight blue, and possibly a slightly darker green.

    i go with number 4 but with a darker grey and a crimson red.


    and yeah about my suggestion based on quake from transmetal rhinox (maybe using the armada version of the mold) and Needlenose using Transmetal Terrorsaur?

    also using some pcc and classics animal minicons for their double targetmasters?

    That Retrax is beautiful. It's a shame his original gimmick got in the way so much!

    As for Jetstorm - I'll pick #1, too. :)  If you really like the blue one but feel it's not evil enough I'd perhaps put some other colour in there to provide contrast. A bright orange would work well with blue, and provide an aggressive colour, too! Maybe the beast mode eyes?

    I believe those designs of Transmetal Tigatron and Fuzors Primal are official concept art that never made it passed that stage...

    And speaking of fuzors, I think Torca deserves an upgrade in size class!

    First, wanna say that i am realllllllly loving what you're doing. I've fallen in love with your Blackarachnia, it looks so much nicer than animated.

    Something I've kinda wanted to try was a TM-ish Silverbolt from Cybertron Snarl and maybe some Zoids parts for wings. Snarl's headsculpt screams Silverbolt to me especially the Fang Wolf repaint exclusive.

    The eyes are still...too cute. Maybe you could paint them entirely black. As for the piece in beast mode where the robot head is... try what you can to make it look less disturbing.

    Will do, don't worry. I'm still only at the remolding stage. Everthing will be painted in a new color scheme and that translucent piece will be a solid color.
