    This is when I get a sharpie and start and can't help myself but make him super un G1-Accurate.


    The alt mode is mostly untouched

    You got something of a Tron vibe going on. Fascinating! Makes me want to see a TF Collab with Tron -- a transforming light cycle would be amaaaaaazing.

    Thrilling 30 Chromia says hi....

    As for the custom, I like the effect of the sharpie on the clear windows. Almost give it a dirty/grimey look.

    Yeah, the one thing about the windows I regret is I painted the edges, and silver edges would have been better.

    For a cardboard cutout that’s actually a pretty good job at a Star Saber accessory.

    The blue panel lining looks really unique! Especially with how blue sharpies have that almost metallic look making it pop on the grey sections. Looks cool.

    I love the idea with this one. All of the extra blue really adds a new feel to him. Well done!

    You should get some metallic blue sharpie and do it with that, they have it at target

    Well I'm using this small tipped sharpie, so It's not a normal one, I dunno how that would turn out
