    I have posted him before, but I have worked on him since, to make him better.
    I tried to make him more G1 cartoon like than I had prior. I made pics of him in
    stages from original to now, and more of him now. I know he's not clean or neat
    or anywhere as neat as I wanted, but I did him in stages and my Yellow paint
    has little to be desired..Tamiya bottled colors suck....

    Now he has the shoulder pylons, and in vehicle mode they act as ram air....
    I know the engine supposed to be in back, and he has the intake on top...
    but maybe they can act as coolers for the brake system....or whatever.
    who cares...he's a toy.

    If given the chance I will get a new one and redo him, but here he is now...as is.


    PLEASE REPLY TO THIS!!!!!
    I do have one question, should I paint the windows black, or paint them blue to look cartoonish?
