Still my favorite for mods are the Supreme class bots. Starscream is the easiest thing ever. Since I've already turned him into cybertronian type tank Megatron I thought it might be easy to turn him into a triple changing jet/tank. I've got a nice purple I may use and need to get some tan paint. Other than doing something with his head there is only one peg added and nothing else. It's really more a repaint than a bash. Pics tomorrow maybe.

After taking Screamer apart I ended up with 48 individual pieces, 44 of which will be painted. Already ran out of purple 1/4 of the way through. Here's a teaser though. Don't know if I'll mod the head yet. I'll probably need a second coat on some of it to. This was my first airbrush painting.

even though it's only 2 pieces, that looks awesome

That does look really cool already. What paints have you gone for?

Not sure what your asking. Testors purple. the rest is a tan/cream in a spray can. I can't seem to find a sand color for the airbrush kit at my hobby stores or walmart. The purple I started with I couldn't even find until I noticed that testors had changed the item number. It wasn't at the hobby lobby or Testors.com, but I found 2 little jars at walmart. I'll have to hit another walmart to finish the job.

How does he turn into a tank? So far I don't see any major modifications.

speaking of making tanks, I wish I could get my hands on a used Cyb. Evac, so I could try to make a tank mode for that and turn him into Bludgeon. Bludgeon needs to be a tank/helicopter triple-changer.

you should try actually reading the topic, :wink:

he said he wasn't going to do any bashing except a peg on the head.

Fri Jul 06, 2007 7:59 am

Yeah, and Ravage wants to know how he transforms into a tank. Maybe you should try reading the posts...

Fri Jul 06, 2007 8:46 am

says so at the beginning i think...

I'm looking forward to seeing this thing finished.

No, it doesn't. It's clearly not going to be the same as God Megatron, as that involved a lot more than adding a peg (and not on the head, either).
Looking at my GF Starscream I can see potential for a tank mode with minimal modding, but it's somewhat lacking in weaponry.

Yeah, I read the post, and all the others. Oh, forget it. :roll:

He said since it was easy to make a megatron, like his God Megatron, it would be easy to make a triple changer. So it is going to be a tripple changer.

Sorry for any confusion. What I should have said is I may do some minor mods to his head, but for now I have not. I have added a peg to his chest, similar to God Megatron, only slightly different placement. The peg on his chest is probably the only mod I will do. Blitzwings weapons are a purple gun and sword, so I'm leaving Screamers weapons alone.
I've been painting all morning and I'm done with all the major stuff. I was wondering what other color I might incorporate to add some flare without taking away from the dominate Blitzwing purple and sand.

I'd still like to know how he turns into a tank though.

Wow. The tank mode concept, it's GREAT! Not sure about the wing being flat, and I gotta ask where the other wing/side thing goes. But otherwise, I just love the concept itself. And the paintjob as a whole, this guy is totally Blitzwing. Really nice job.

Sun Jul 08, 2007 3:47 am

Pretty cool, I like the Cybertronian Tank to go with the Cybertronian Jet mode, but what happens to the other arm part, and is there anyway to have the wing fin come off when you mount it in Tank cannon mode?

Sun Jul 08, 2007 4:39 am

Oh,wow
the purple seems slightly off imo,but it's still awesome,i'm not sure about the little decepticon insignia though. by the way,what happens to the sword in tank mode?

Sun Jul 08, 2007 6:09 am

Man, you really got my attention there!
I love it! One little thing that got my attention is the visor!
Anyways, good job! And about the purple, I'm sure the camera flash is making it worst..it always does. So keep it that way.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Jul 08, 2007 11:21 am

Yeah the purple looks a little blue in the pics. It's much deeper/darker purple in real life. The visor is detachable. Should I leave it that way? Detaching the wing in tank mode would take alot of mods to be able to reattach it and this is more a repaint than anything. The decepticon symbol is a carved outline on the peg that holds the turret that I drew the symbol into. I don't have any decepticon reprolables right now, but I wanted to show what it would look like when I do get the sticker.
