hehehe feel free to use it bro   As for a picture, here's a WIP shot I took when I was having a REALLY hard time waiting for it to cure before reassembly, it shows the shade really well:

 

Told yah that was a kick butt purple.... 

 

Ahh, that's nice, and much closer to what I'd expected. I know purples can often come out a lot pinker under flash photography...

 

That is a great work !!! Cool custom and I am impressed !!!

 

WICKED!!! As usual. Another great job. I understand completely about purple paint (still hitting head against wall on my first attempt at MM).

 

Nice custom. What kind of blade did you use to cut off the wing ?

 

a hobby saw. the blade attaches to the handle of my X-acto.

 

damn, i need one of those. i used a dremel disc to cut the wings off of my Devcon... didn't work out too well.

 

you get much better control with the saw, and its a much thinner cut, and you can use it to get longer straight cuts done properly.

 

He is very pretty! I love the shiny paint, it looks awesome. Nice wing mod too, I'd like to do one like it. My favorite part though is the waist mod. You did an awesome job on it and now I know how I'll do it when the time comes!

Thanks for giving me a microburst of my own Redline!

 

Looks awesome! I love the glossy/glassy look to the paint! Total badass...I wish it was mine.  

 

thanks for the compliments guys.   Thanks for keeping it PG-13, Rich  

Hopefully the one that's nearly done will trump this one...

 

Nice, very nice. I'm glad to see the Rainmakers getting some love, and it's cool you've made your own character. The purple is great; I wish stores in my area stocked the krylon x-metals. I must have that wet-look stuff!!

Can't wait for Microburst's bio and his inclusion in the gallery.

 

I found it at Kmart of all places. I'd never have looked there if not for plowking.

 

i gotta get me one of those "wet look" coats...

nice and shiny! nice work!  

 

Thanks, well pardon my ignorance but can you post a pic of that tool so that I can look for one at a nearest hardware store in my place here ?

 

doubt you'll find it in a hardware store, you need to go to a hobby shop.

here's what an X-acto looks like (you can get other brands, they're interchangeable): http://www.xacto.com/ProductDetail.asp?id=165

 

man first the LOC then Menasor and now the seekers you rock

 

where can i learn of Microburst's background info? or is this seeker purely a custom?

 

he's not PURELY a custom character. He's based off "The Rainmakers", a trio of seekers (yellow, green, purple) that appeared in one episode of G1. You can find them easily enough at the TF Wiki website. My FA-18 is also one of these Rainmakers. I embellished the individual character's traits, but that's because the ones in the show really didnt' have any characterization, as they weren't main characters at all. they were "generic seekers" on Cybertron.
