    Started off as a concept then a wip.

    Switched to a universe Starscream over a Acid storm cause it's easier.


    My previous leader 1 had way too many partsforming pieces so i simplified and adapted.

    Bot mode
    Large wings still mount to the legs and small wings will be mounted to the side of the leg instead of the engine.

    Arms now have full movement and can transform without any problems

    Shoulders were changed cause the previous version left too many problems with the intakes.

    Head is a slightly modified stockade with a new peg(Crankcase went to Royal T)
    Kept the unmodded waist cause with a modded waist a piece was needed to complete the jet mode.

    Went with a grey silver and black deco so he was not completely greyish.

    Alt mode
    the only changes are a snap on nosecone that replaces the head(i tried forever to get a head to work and still transform)

    And the slightly relocated tail wings.

    Just need to clean him up and paint him now.

    Looks better than your previous attempt. Keep up the Gobot work.

    This custom (along with a few others recently) proves that the world simply needs more GoBots. :)

    Looks awesome. You should consider turning the nosecone into a gun if you're looking for a way to prevent partsforming. It might not be too difficult if you could maybe flip out the tip like on MP Starscream.

    Can we see pics or threads on those projects as well?

    Also, I feel bad that your thread isn't generating as much interest as it deserves. A lot of Gobot threads tend to go that route, unfortunately.

    Can't wait to see those what you do with the other GoBots! I hope they served well as inspiration!
