    I kept hints of Starscream's colors in the warning labels and stripes, but then I decided I liked the "faceless" head (from a Frame Arms kit) and alternate weapons (from a Gundam kit) more, so that's how I think I'm going to leave it on the shelf.

    Looks pretty slick in grey. Have to say, I immediately thought of BW Silverbolt when I saw it.

    I like the idea of the seeker generics having Helmet-Face like their Squishy counterparts in the Cobra ranks.

    I really like what you did here. you gave me an idea to use the null rays off my kit and put them on siege starscream. I cant find a decent gundam gun to replace them however. do you remember which kit the guns came from? they look badass. the colors are great and I really like that faceless head idea. I have mixed some gundam parts with transformers here and there, but nothing this good. great job

    Nice!

    This makes a great background Seeker.

    The rifles came in this set:
    MS Option Set 9 (HG) (Gundam Model Kits) - HobbySearch Gundam Kit/etc. Store

    I did some cutting and drilling to change the mounts, but otherwise they’re pretty much out-of-the-box.

    Thanks I passed the kit up as I didn’t build many ibo frames. I’ll have to pick that up regardless. Incase you have siege star scream use pc-2 from sprue pc-001, shave the ball down and they port right in. Looks really good in tetra jet mode as well. Plus no permanent solution. Thanks for showing the cool custom. Those guns look really good on it.
