    Finally, I'm getting around to making a Flash.

    So, at Botcon 2014 there was a panel which talked about Botcon exclusives apparently, and in the pile of ideas that were tossed around, Prime versions of the Turbomasters were going to be a thing. Botcon robbed these figures from us and so it's up to the customisers to pick up the gauntlet and get these done.

    Flash was going to be made from the PRiD Bumbles mould but since it was cheaper and the detailing lined up with some of Flash's, I went with the Beast Hunters Murderbee.


    Here's some WIP pics, I'll keep you updated when possible.
    Note, these pics have been rotated 90 degrees to intentionally annoy Primalxconvoy!

    And here's the correctly rotated, larger versions of the pics.

    Aw, that's pretty cool!
    Actually that would probably annoy most people if not for the images in the spoiler box.

    UPDATE: A quick test fit to see how it's all coming together. More touch-ups in the Italian red and gloss white paint are definitely gonna happen before this beautiful boy gets sealed.

    Near final result. Still need to touch a few things up, add a few insignia seals on him and seal his butt a little more.

    Please pardon the trash-tastic quality, it's a really crappy rainy day in Melbourne and I don't have a spotlight or anything.
    I had to redo his head crest because it got in the way of the transformation.

    Speaking of things getting in the way of the transformation, I removed the Automorph gimmick since that just... no. It wasn't working. I got bum stock. Sucks.

    That looks awesome! Bee works very well as him. Do you plan on giving him the iconic turbine gun?

    If I can find a decent replacement then definitely.

    Alright, I'm stuck. This is DEFINITELY not going the way I want. The head's all wrong so I'm trying to find a PRID Hot Shot for cheap. The windows weren't pink enough so now I'm using Vallejo fluro pink for the windows but that keeps peeling off. The bird crest is just all wrong. You guys ever get upset with what you're customising and want it to be perfect? Anyway...
