    Looks great man, I think everyone is hitting the nail on the head. Needs a shield and some decals. Fits in with Springer in the background nicely.

    I am not an alt fan I have said that before but the whole premise of alternators is a refit so to speak of the cosmic rust plauge ( I think thats right ) so its up to you the creator of the bash to decide which way you want to go and I think thats really good I like it alot and I love the cybertron blur head mold I used it for a devcon

    Maybe a slightly lighter blue and if the head antenna-thing were raised slightly higher, it would match the G1 toon look. Other than that, it looks great

    That's what I thought, too. But it's still a great job :)

    I don't see why that isn't Blurr when it's very clear that it is Blurr ! Great upgrade/homage to Cyb. Blurr :)

    he should have a shield, since the S2000 mold already comes with one...

    the custom itself is very well done, nicely applied paint and head and whatnot, but I'll actually agree with the original poster. If it wasnt for the head, I dont know if I'd immediately recognize it as Blurr. The S2000 is probably my least favorite Alternator, and Blurr is a character I like, so I might've gone with a different choice. It does resemble Cybertron Blurr, but without the cool cape. I think the Viper or the Acura might've been a better choice.

    But like I said, even if the Blurr isnt working for you, the actual custom is very good

    I don't like it at all. Just box it up and ship it to me! :lol 

    Sarcasm aside, I agree with everyone else; it looks great. All of your work is sharp, and I think one would be hard pressed to not tell it's "Blurr." Someone made the comment that without the head one couldn't tell it was Blurr. I don't think that's an issue at all, unless you want to make a headless Autobot. *snickers*

    Just a suggestion, but perhaps a white sports stripe or something would help out. Regardless, I think your work is solid. In the end though, it matters less of what I (or others think) and more of how you're satisfied with your collection. Keep 'em comin' man!

    I think he looks cool, the only thing that I could see you changing is adding some ligher blue, maybe on his arms.

    IIRC, Blurr is blue, light blue, and gray.

    Looks good enough to me.

    Could only guess that the alt mode is a solid shade of the blue you're using. If you really want to throw-back to the original, you could change the hood to a lighter shade. Alter the roof and decklid to match the hood... it could work.

    In response to several comments:

    He is blue and light blue (perhaps the light blue looks grey on the photos)

    Right now his alt is solid blue, but I'm going to put some interesting light blue accents on it when I have time
