    The lack of paint apps has been killing me with Titans Return. Getaway/Breakaway is probably the most frustrating, as he is not only a slight retool, but his paint budget went to tampos which weren't even that big. And the light grey had to go.

    So a little paint later and we have yet another Powermaster that just needed some TLC (and paint). The greys were turned to dark grey, I added the blue to his arms, which was originally flat white. And I attempted to paint his shins to simulate the rear windshield of his G1 design. I bought the Reprolabels set for this guy to make his vehicle mode more flashy, which made paint (save for his front bumper and wheels) unnecessary, so that's why I didn't add pics.

    Paint matching his shins was a chore and it still doesn't look right, but I'm too frustrated to worry about it now. Will probably give him a Shapeways rifle in the future.

    My only regret is that I wish Reprolabels had made a 2nd sticker for his chest that said "Racing" the way his alt mode does on the windshield. I say that since his stock chest is obviously painted to resemble his G1 toy, which was the windshield of his alt mode.
