    Huh. Works surprisingly well, even with that tiny head. That mold is crazy how it seems to work for all the Pretenders. {Thunderwing, Sky Shadow, Starscream from Sky Shadow, but not Metalhawk hahah, and now Bugly}

    Not sure if it's just the camera but it looks like the colors are off. Like the green could be more yellowy and pale, and the blue could be more turquoise. I realize it's more work, but a lighter off-white grey, and black waist between groin plate and chest.

    Alt mode looks a bit odd though. Maybe sticking closer to the original alt mode would have helped.

    No.
    There's no grey in the original alt mode, whereas this repaint is half grey. Extending the purple of the nose to the back of the plane and making the air intakes lavender and extending those back as well would have been nice, then make the entire wing section and guns purple.
