    Nice as usual! I like the panel lining in combination with the metallic paint job.

    The flames on the sides of the hood could probably stand to be removed, given that how the LEDs were installed, the bumps just above the head lights really throw off the decals.

    Other than that, he looks great. The paint job is - as it always is - fantastic.

    Hey, you Hot Rod has guns on the sides of his arms. I don't remember my Classics having that...

    ...I might need to track down a Henkei now. Anyways, nice job. Not a fan of carbon fiber, but nice touch.

    Those "guns" are his exhaust pipes. They're there on the classics version too.

    ^^This.

    Like Altitron said, the LED's are throwing off the side-flames (IMHO), but still...this ranks up there with your best work.

    Great job!

    nice paint job, but cant you do something with the gaps in alt mode?
    honestly it looks like a knock off Rodimus who's parts can't properly fit in alt mode.
    although the carbon fiber effect looks great, I'd have to say its a bad idea to put it in Rodimus, just kinda doesnt fit.

    just my 2 cents

    Your uses of the carbon fibre are really making plain figures (or even Henkeis) stand out. I love that the flames are black, it's probably the nicest addon to the figure other than the incredible light system wired in.

    Well.. I like the integration of LED's in bot mode (looks epic!) But in alt mode I can't really dig them.. The fact the head lights are "pop up style" and simply have a hole drilled in there and an led stuck in kinda.. eh.. I dunno just me I'm sure but it breaks up the alt mode to me.

    The only other thing I'd like to have seen was the rear tail lights get some color aside from the body color.

    i definitely love the paint color and carbon fibre flames!

    I think I'd like it more if the LEDs were put it under a square piece of styrene, to imply the flip lights that the actual car has, as opposed to the now-standard exposed headlights. I mean, the flip lights don't have to be functioning, just implied.

    Other than that your paint work is as good as ever, and it's nice to see you getting more into doing different things.
