Painted Sunstreaker's engine parts and gun:



Finally got Prowl's shoulder cannons and gun painted:



And some Nemesis Prime touchups as well:

I like the red on Nemesis. You did a great job with the touchups.

Thanks. I was worried i'd screw it up, but it turned out alright. I tried painting the light piping on the head red too, but it wasn't enough. Now his eyes glow a purple color, which is also kinda cool i suppose.

How did you get the blue glass to become red? I have Tamiya Translucent Red, but I would have thought that...adding red transparent color to the blue transparent plastic would result in a mucky sort of purple...

I just sprayed it on. To be clear, the exact name of the color i used is Tamiya Clear Red.

TBH at the time i wasn't sure what the results would have been. It was a gamble at best. But i would've been fine with purple windows anyway.

Hmm, yes. Tamiya Clear Red, that's what I have, too. Interesting, thanks. I was going to just paint my Nemesis Prime's windows solid red, but I may try your approach first...

Also, on my Classics Onslaught, I did a little tweaking, modding, and soldering, to alter the way the lights work. I made three minor changes:

- Changed the "head" light LED to Orange instead of Red, so it matches his G1/Cartoon/Comic coloration, and rewired it so it stays on as long as the button is pressed.

- Added a yellow LED Inside of the "searchlight" on the front of the turret, which also stays on as long as the button is held down.

- Painted the inside of the "Lightbar" with that same Clear Red Tamiya.

Functionally, the whole apparatus looks like nothing has been changed, and still retains full range of motion and whatnot. Just augmented slightly.

It's kinda hard to demonstrate it without a video, so here is a little youtube I whipped up:
