The Energon Pub

I figured Blustreak would never happen, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.
The hilarious things is, the day I went out to buy a Smokescreen to use, I came home to the news on here about the leak of the Club's Bluestreak. Oh well. I went for it anyway.

Bluestreak is my all time favorite Autobot. I decided BLUEstreak because I love the look of the old Diaclone, the MP is the best, and there just aren't enough of him.
He's mostly sprayed with Rustoleum spray paint, with a bit of brush work to finish him off.
This is my first attempt at a complete disassembly. All in all it went well. A few nicks and scratches during re-assembly, but I learned a ton. Definitely looking forward to another go at this kind of custom.

Awesome shots. Awesome work. Awesome. ;)^

I looks really professional. Can't wait to see more of your work!

Damn, that looks superb! If I may, though, I'd suggest giving him a new gun if only for the sake of variety. Fakebusker on Shapeways makes some awesome versions of the WFC guns.

Thanks guys! I still have a lot to learn, but I'm pretty pleased with the results so far. Even for just using spray paint.

Delta Mags - You may! I do think the shot gun is a cool cop gun, but it's not right for Streak. Or Smokey for that matter. I'd love a more G1 style gun for those guys, and I'm sure somebody on shape ways is making one. Just haven't takin the time to look.
You've reminded me though of a thought I had a while back. the heli-mold blaster looks a enough like the OG Datsun blaster. I need to steal Vortex's and slap it in his hand.

Great paint job!! HasTak should've released this color scheme.

That looks fantastic!

You did an amazing job on it. It looks like an official Takara released figure.

Thanks for the feedback y'all!

Just dropping a few more pics to show that Bluestreak is fully functional.

I'm a Cyberjack and I'm ok. I sleep all night and chop Cons all day.

:-P

Your CW Bluestreak is darn sweet! I had a friend repaint a CW Smokescreen into a CW Silverstreak; mainly cos I love the idea if Silverstreak and also because I can't paint at all. I don't have many pictures cos it's not finished. Streak still needs faction symbols and some touching up, but so far I love it.

This is my only photo of Streak so far, as it is a work in progress.

Getting to know his brothers in arms.

(the extra Prowl is for another project, to be remade into a CW Ricochet)

AWESOME Trey!
Silver is looking good.
Next on the docket for me is a Toon style Bluestreak for a buddy, and a Silver for me!

Might have to use yours for reference.
