    Classics Decepticon Skyfire

    I always wondered what if Skyfire stayed as a decepticon afterall. This was a universe treadbolt, before I rapainted him. I just didn't like too much brown on him. I hope you like it guys. Cheers!

    Actually, I think the repaint is Darkwing. I could be wrong of course, but I was wondering pretty much the same thing.

    Looks good. Kinda hard seeing white as the main color, but still awesome.

    Guys, he said it's universe treadbolt! which means it was even harder to do this.
    Very nice indeed.

    thanks for the love guys. i wanted to take on the challenge to retain the white color and still make him menacing , i just changed the reds to blue and added more purple. the color scheme was also inspired by the finishes of an x-wing from starwars.

    Looks good. This mold is fun to repaint into different figures.
