    Always had this dude on the to do list. Just now getting around to him.
    Prime FE: Cliffjumper head. GDO Wheelie body. Wheelies head provided the ball joint socket for the CJ head transplant.
    Paint started as Rust-Oleum Safety Red. But I hated it...was too shiney and clean looking. So I gave the whole thing a scuffing with some Scotch-Brite, and then added several heavy black washes. Then clear coated the car mode only with Future Floor Shine.

    His BFG is his trophy piece. It was crafted from a Seeker he ripped to shreds in battle before Leaving Cybertron...

    Damn man, but I love that paint! And the BFG is awesome. Reminiscent of TFA Lockdown, taking trophies from fallen enemies.

    Looks really nice :thumbs2: :thumbs2: 
    The thighs and arms remind me of Carnage.
    And I really like his BFG :lol  Even fits well with his original weapons from TFP.

    That metallic swirl effect is aces. It looks like it's moving.

    About the only minor gripe I'd have is that the eyes are REALLY REALLY dark, almost black. I guess that's the TF equivalent of a "thousand-yard stare" tho!

    That really fits as a Cliffjumper. I'm surprised you kept the horns on the head, but the color and wash really do nicely. The Siege-ker part is equally a great homage to his Prime weapon.
