    This is a repaint commission for LamboTwinLove based heavily on the Animated Voyager Thundercracker as seen on KO Toys (Photo A). I'm unsure if this was an unreleased figure/prototype or if it was a KO, but that is beside the point. While I modeled the primary colors after the aforementioned figure, I also took some liberties with the overall scheme by adding details to help the mold pop (Photo B).

    The base figure was an incomplete Skywarp (missing the missiles and rear panels). LamboTwinLove requested this repaint with the robot mode in mind, so the missing parts weren't a deal-breaker for her.

    I apologize for the graininess of the photo. It's really giving the paint a caked-on appearance. I need to learn how to use my camera allover again.

    No biggie there! I know how cameras can be. More often then not they won't do the figure real justice unless it's a really good camera.

    I wish I made one myself. I guess it's too late now. Can't find these cheap anymore.

    Good job SB.
