    this is my first attempt at really killing a bunch of toys and trying to make somethings new. lol.

    its mostly done. theres a few things i want to try to do but not sure how to go about doing them. an example being the parts forming cheat i do in plane mode with the upper set of wings. also i'm not so happy about the tank mode. not sure if i'll grind down the starscream's chest all the way. the head is something else i want to try to do something about, want to put a red vizor on it somehow.

    i'm not gonna paint it till i figure those things out.

    so what do you think?

    And now I have to find a Hailstorm/Mindset for the treads...

    I did not realize how great those work for a Blitzwing custom.

    Nice work there so far :thumb 
    As you came back to altering your Skyhammer maybe you can give this one a second chance now, too.
    Just paint it, maybe exchange the head or redo it all over again with newer molds.

    Great stuff! From the front the bot mode is really giving me a Leader 1 vibe.

    At first I thought this was a joke about blitzwing looking like starscream in the bumblebee movie.. BUT THEN I SAW THIS AWESOME ENGINEERING! It looks really good so far. The only critique I have at this point is the nosecone in tank mode, but I'm sure you probably have a plan for that to fold down or something already.
