    Yup, he's on [EBAYLINK="140356139378"]ebay[/EBAYLINK] right now :) 
    Thanks for your comment! =)

    I'll probably try lining on my next cartoon custom, thanks! =)

    I did mod them so they fit on his shoulder and on his hand. Both have different pegs though (the shoulder peg being smaller). And for the handheld blaster I used a part of the original gun he comes with.

    Good idea, I'll see what I can do!

    haha!
    I bet that would look really cool... (seriously considering that challenge!! :D )

    Enamels and dullcoat lacquer :) 

    And thanks to everyone else for your comments :) 
    I'd love to reply everybody personally, but it would just look kind of weird and way too long =)

    That leg transformation is great! Just did that to mine, it'd look better with paint, but I love how it helps distinguish him from 'Streaker even more.

    Great work on the paint too, just breathtaking!

    Damn he's awesome! And he looks great with the ROTF Prime. You made the classics and movie figures blend nicely together. Very nice.

    Great to know I've inspired someone :D 
    You could try painting those legs black, it's a very small intervention but it sure helps!

    Thanks!
    Yeah, my next project is Bumblebee, and a decepticon yet to be chosen :D 

    Thanks man! :)

    that's an awesome Sideswipe. i think the weapons can be small, but given that you're going for the cartoon look, and everyone knows that big guns is what makes a cartoon, you've got it. i love the paint apps.
