I'd noticed that Cheetor and Drift had very similar heads and one thing lead to another and well I made this. He's about 90% done, needs a few touchups, some clear on the blue, work on the wheels, and a handle for his gun. I'm not putting any maximal stickers on him as I'm going for a straight up autobot. I hope to have him done and have a gallery up by this weekend. Comments welcome I enjoy everyone's feedback. Keep in mind I do not own an airbrush yet. Oh and sorry for the crappy pic it's from my phone.

 

I really like how this looks, especially the contrast between the metallic blue and glossy yellow. How do you feel about a few metallic gold applications, for a little extra pop?

 

Ooo, nice.   This will look great finished.

 

That's pretty damn slick! Any hope for a throwing star?

 

You're modding what we were all thinking, brother. Fantastic work so far! Can't wait to see more.

 

Wow, your painting of Drift is galaxies better than mine...

But this is really cool. I can completely see Cheetor as a repaint of this figure and you captured it fantastically. Though the vehicle mode definitely needs the spots.

 

I was planning on making him into manga-verse Tigatron. For a second, I thought someone beat me to it.

 

agree with above and beyond  

 

I might hit it with some gold, it'll be a nice contrast from all the yellow.

Hmmm Possibly. I've considered making the swords look like his BM counterpart.

I was going to do spots but I changed my mind I have another Idea I'm gonna do with decals.

I considered doing a whole S1 Maximals as autobots but IDK if I want to get that in depth.

And thanks everyone for the awesome comments.

 

Wow! That is Cheetor's head!

 

Looks great so far. I also plan on doing Drift into Tigatron. Can't wait to see him all done.
