See Hasbro? Less can be good!

He's not really done, but I got really tired of staring at all that red. Painted it over with black, then started filling things back in with Euro Gray. Did away with all the red on the legs as well.

The red only shows in his robot mode, so basically there isn't much change to his alt mode right? :-?

Want to see some clearer pics when finished. Nice. :APPLAUSE:

Correct. The figure has zero red visible in alt mode, so I figured why the hell should he have a predominantly red robot mode if he's made up of the same parts as the alt mode?

Down with the red! :twisted:

True I guess. But I have to admit Black + Red is some great combo in my book.

It can be, but in the case of Sideways it certainly wasn't!

Here's a few more pics. More clear how he actually looks. Debating on whether to paint the red inside the upper torso. And if I do, what I want to do with it.

Oddly, the brass color I used on his knee joints... shows the red beneath it in pics, but not in person. :-?
