    Would say that Prime Dreadwing works better for Pharma though.

    That said... Where did the idea of a Seeker Prowl come from? It's cool but yea...

    Dreamwave..? Closest thing I can get that matches with a flying mode of any sort...

    ...ok... never mind... though if the DW look inspired the Armada fan art... that would make some sense...

    Unfortunately it looks like that dA page is inactive... at best... he has some activity on a tumblr page dated in 2011.

    What's your secret to get the white paint stick so smoothly on it?

    It didn't actually come from that image though it may have been in some deep memory of some sort. It was the shape of the wings and the missle pods that made it click in my mind.
    I use a gloss white mixed with flat aluminum. Very little of the latter but it makes the white adhere smoothly even with a brush and adds a hint of brilliance to it in certain lights.
    All Tamiya paints.

    You seem to have accidentally made the modern Comic Ferak design there.

    Wow! Just wow! That is some serious creativity. And you know what the best part is, aside from your obvious technical capability? It still has G1 Prowl's design hallmarks, the wings and shoulder launchers.

    Being a Prowl fan, I've always liked the artwork for this concept. Excellent job translating that art into real life. Makes me want to buy one to try doing it for myself.

    I love this man. You did a great job with the head an paint apps. Everything is perfectly Prowl. TFmaster actually customized an original Armada Starscream as Prowl back in the day. I think he would really have enjoyed your version.

    That is so cool! It works so perfect. The character still feels like Prowl, even with the SS body. Very cool!
