    Full repaint of the Igear UFO figure because I always loved that there was a flying saucer Transformer but always hated his colors.
    I tried not to stray far from his main G1 colors but hopefully this is more believable as a UFO robot and looks less like a Happymeal toy.

    Looks very nice. A tiny bit of Green to make it a Bit more Cosmosy?.

    I notice there's blue inbetween the grill on his arms. The way it's colored, is that blue power or lights? If so, fantastic idea.

    Great job!

    Oh he is green as snot in alt mode. You'll see. I basically just replaced the yellow with a light gold/silver mix and the green with transparent emerald green over chrome then went to town on details.
    Oh and a darker burgandy red metallic for the red parts.

    SCORE!

    Alien energy, lights... either of those works.
    Thanks!

    Well done! I agree, his original color scheme was a bit of an eye-sore. Any chance of us seeing a Brawn soon...? Haha keep up the great work!

    I had to laugh (in a nice way) at the idea of "more believable as a UFO robot"

    :D 

    Looks good, much better than the "proper" colours. Never liked those even back on the original G1 toy..

    I like it, but I think the base figure fits best as FoC Cosmos.

    You did an amazing job, Unicron9. Cosmos looks great not so bright, but somehow I like this custom and the brightly colored one as well.

    I think you're really onto something here. I absolutely love how alien the colors look, very befitting of the altmode. And they don't look out of place at all for the character. The bright green and blue are definitely a very nice touch that make this work perfectly.
