Just wondered if you'd like to see my latest repaint. a simple headswap from DOTM sideswipe to bumblebee with shockwaves armblade and a kotobukiya sword and mace. he's a personal favourite of mine at current. enjoy!

It's a thing of beauty. Doubledealer93 said it best; you took an over-used mold and made a piece of art out of it. Brilliant! :APPLAUSE:

One thing, though; why did you use a matte finishing for the fig? I'm not complaining or anything, but movieverse repaints usually tend towards lots of silver and chrome, and glossy paint. Or were you shooting for more of a Generations, IDW artwork, War for Cybertron feel? Just curious.

Either way, it's an awesome job.

Nice. If they mass produced this, Id'e buy three for the weapons alone, but the whole figure? Hot Damn!

Personal choice i suppose, i just prefer the look of matte figures

i'll admit it might make the car mode a little more... finished if you will, but i think it works.
same again for the lack of metallics, i just like that look
