Airazor? I can't wait to see that! One of my fave characters in BW--strange thing is, I'm not even sure why she is. Maybe I just like her beautiful hawk mode. You think I'm shallow, don't you? :P

Hehe, well she isn't going to have a hawk mode (bot mold only). She's a kitbash similar to what I did to create a deluxe size Terrorsaur (there's pics of that one in an old thread around here somewhere if you want to check him out ;)).

Well, I actually bought the DMK kits and Revoltech OP and Bee figs, so non-transforming TF's are not an issue for me.

That Terrorsaur custom must have been quite a while ago. I tried searching for it, but after five minutes of scanning through the names, I had to give up. Either way, if your Smokescreen is anything to go by, I'm sure Airazor will be an awesome custom.

I'm almost done with her, just putting the finishing touches on now. I'll probably post pics of her tomorrow or the next day if I have time (work etc.).

My Deluxe Terrorsaur can be found here. He was one of my very first customs and it shows (kinda rough build work and paint). I might got back and touch him up at some point, but flawed as he is, he still looks awesome standing next to Waspinator and the rest of the season 1 Beast Wars Predacons so I may just keep him as-is.

Wow, you work fast.

LOL! You should see the first model kit I ever painted. An assault on the eyeballs is all I can say. :oops:

Your Terrorsaur looks pretty good for a first custom; the red looks smooth enough. It's impossible to paint a perfectly straight or circular line/shape by hand; masking and spraying with either an airbrush or spray can is the only way to go.

That Smokescreen looks miles better than the official toy we got...Does he still transform?

Unfortunately no :(. He can't transform into a vehicle. Combining Bumblebees limbs and door wings with Knockout's torso just doesn't seem to make it possible to transform him into a car, at least not unless Has/Tak decides to pull of some transformation cheats if/when they make an official one that looks like he does on the show.

As it is, at least with the parts I used, he's in permanent bot mode, but he does look awesome on the shelf with my other TF: Prime Autobots and that's good enough for me. Besides, I've still got the entire vehicle/body from the AM version (all I used were the stickers and the head) so if I really wanted him in vehicle mode I could paint that up and put it beside him (though I doubt I will as I prefer most of the cast simply be present in bot mode).
