    Hi

    Wide was away for the weekend so I decided to spend some time on these guys.

    Cloudburst came from some brainstorming when I learnt of the leader Jetfire that is coming out. I never really could accept this puny Jetfire as my whole collection is based on voyager sized figures, and I got to repurpose him. I've still got some paint apps to finish but I ran out of paint, but I'm interested to know if anyone knows of any improvements I can make to the figure to perfect Cloudburst?

    Rollout was another identity challenged bot in the collection. Originally alternators Rollbar, but apart from being a jeep, I couldn't work out WHY they used that name. When I seen the action master Rollout, I couldn't help but think they might have stuffed the name up. Not 100% that the orange paint is right, but any other opinions on improving the homage?

    Cheers
    JL

    sorry to hear this...hope you mend up soon!

    All I would have suggested was add a little yellow to the waist panels there to tie it all in, and help break up that blue a little bit.
