My first custom!!!

FE Arcee into Chromia repaint with blasters, to complete my Arcee sisters team for the autobots...

There's Elita-1, she's the oldest, wise and mature, a techno organic engineer prior to the war, she is now Ratchet's student in the field of battle medic. Her preferred weapon are her rocket launchers, not for their destructive power, but ability to be used for cover and distraction, giving her the precious seconds needed to save or tend to injured autobots.Rumor has it that she knew Orion Pax before he became Optimus Prime.

Arcee's the middle sister, she's rash and slightly impulsive, with a tendency to race ahead into combat, She's quite skilled with close combat and a master of battling with arm blades.

Chromia is the youngest of the Arcee sisters, she's fascinated with earth's flashy street racing culture, from the tuner cars to the flashy chrome finishes - She even hopes to find an autobot companion with a sporty earth mode! Pity Knockout choose to join the Decepticons! However, don't be fooled by her seemingly shallow behavior, because though she may be a scout, she's a crackshot with her plasma blasters!

Thanks... I tried to do something a little different, mixing in some silver and gold with the original black and blue...

This project has actually gotten me excited to try my hand at this mold again, to flesh out an idea I had for a Cybertronian Ninja/Assassin group of the biker trio to bolster the Decepticon ranks.

- Nightblade; Master of the plasma blade... (goes looking for gundam beam swords...)
- Darkstar; Ninja master... (already purchase a pair of garo 2 arms micron for her throwing stars...)
- Fracture; hand to hand combat specialists... (tho am gonna throw in a pair of tonfas for stylistic representation...)

Why not make the ninja chick's leader Nightbird? Developed on earth with the help of the military to defeat the decepticons, but was stolen and brainwashed, and later became the leader of an elite decepticon ninja task force? IDK...

Very nice idea... Nightblade becomes Nightbird ala Gee-wun... lol... Silly me totally forgetting she existed... Got me a leader, who'll be a homage to G-1 that'll fit right in with the Prime aesthetics...

Thanks again for the suggestion!

That's a great start for a first custom!

If you really want to show off your work better try taking more photos but with a plain, light, neutral background. It'll make the figure 'pop' out of the picture.

Thanks for the advice... I will definitely try to do that for my future projects.
