DOTM (Classics?) BW Silverbolt

[NEW PICS AT THE BOTTOM]
Hey
So, I've wanted to repaint something into a vehicle version of Silverbolt for a while. I decided on DOTM Skyhammer once I noticed that his head is very similar to Silverbolt's and that I could make his feet into an adapted version of Silverbolt's talons. I also modded ROTF Bludgeon's sword to fit Skyhammer's hand.
Anyway, here's some pics! This is my first full repaint, so go easy on me
Since Silverbolt is a bit of a knight in shining armor, I decided make silver and gold my main colors. I also added metallic red highlights based on the original Silverbolt's stomach orb thing.
I modded the back left landing gear so the sword could plug in and look like it was on his belt. Didn't feel like making a scabbord.
It's hard to tell, but I actually painted his eyes gold so the details would stand out behind the visor.
Posed with sword in hand. I actually had to cut the handle in two pieces so I didn't have to mod his fingers. I was worried they would break off.
With unpainted Skyhammer.
Altmode.
Again, it's hard to tell, but the cockpit is fully painted.
With Skyhammer (alt mode)
UPDATE: Finally got Darksteel, here's some pics...
