    Although the Rain Makers are cartoon accurate, I would have liked for Hasbro to add some color to them. I have no connection to Ion Storm since we already have a blue seeker: Thundercracker, but Acid & Nova I've always enjoyed. So, I decided to do some parts swapping and came up with what I had envisioned.

    Now I need to sell the original Ion Storm and the Frankenseekers. :) 

    NOTE: If anyone has an extra set of Skywarp guns for sale, please let me know.


    Updated Acid & Nova Storm:

    Nova Storm w/ Skywarp's shoulders & Starscream's elbows and thighs (would like another set of Skywarp guns for Nova):

    Frankenseekers: McDonald's Starscream & Devastator Skywarp Skywarp has Starsream's light gray shoulders, but figured this looked... better? lol

    Yeah, the Skywarp isn't bad. I kinda of thought about keeping that one. :)

    Definitely improvements for the Rain Makers and the G2-ish Seekers somehow look nice, too.
    I want to paint my Acid Storm to make him look like MP Acid Storm but the alt mode will look corroded with an acid pattern or effects.
    I suggest to just paint their original nullrays and you can even just leave out the indents and grooves for detailing.

    What a world of difference that part-swapping makes!
    I tried mixing the Rainmaker parts up so each one is a mix of yellow, blue, and green, but it didn't work out the way I thought it would. They REALLY need that gray and black.
    Well done!

    That Skywarp is giving me a slight Botcon Skyquake vibe.
