Brilliantly reworked and painted! I still think its a horrible toy of an deeply uninspiring movie design, but you've worked a little radicon magic here.
wow, it looks really impressive and clean too, great job! and BTW, I was drinking water when I read Solrac´s comment about the left arm and I almost drowned, LMAO xD
Not a close up, but if you want to see the difference between this paint job and the standard one. Compared both of them against the G1 Shockwave. The DotM version isn't even the right shade, nor dark enough. The custom is close to the same shade, but not dark enough. Still, this custom is oh so much better color wise if you were wanting a G1 colored custom/model.
