    Repaint of fansprojects protector, with an eye lens mod and rid style weapon modded by rattrap for TFCC side burn, Finishing touches are being made to the bot sense the flash showed me some red spots that were missed. He is also alot more blue than here appears but my lighting set up is packed away for moving. All painting is done with automotive paints so his colors going to last.

    trailer mode(straight repaint nothing interesting here_

    Bravo! Great work on this one! I like that you've modded the helmet to feature Sideburn's targeting reticule, the colors are great, and the gun/bayonet looks pretty slick too! This is pretty much what I'd want to see come out of an official piece!

    If you think I was bashing the custom, that was clearly not my intention, I was making a joke with a friend of mine. The first post says that I am the one who did the bayonett and eye target thing.

    But thanks for the props

    Looks sweet! IMO the armor looks better in blue than red... course I'm not a fan of Rodimus sooo... haha I think I'm biased here.

    Granted, I knew it would be ever since I saw this artwork of a Blue Protector by digitalworld40:

    nice. The only reason why I haven't commissioned anyone for this is because I still believe FP will make a version xD

    On peaugh's review a while back, he responded to my comment about putting an FP armor on the figure... he responded that he "heard a rumor that KOtoys is planning a Protector repaint to match this guy."

    Okay, let us all agree right now; the Autobots are $#@%ed if Sideburn becomes leader.

    GREAT choice of colors! It blends perfectly! The eye piece just brings it home. :)
