Fantastic!

My only criticism on this would be the neon green rear cannon bits. I think it's really garish. Otherwise, I love this.

thanks for your reply, I might tone down the green with an ink wash at some point but I quite like it as it gives a sickly evil glow to the figure

Agreed. i think its the silver on the wings, really changes the look. I!m gonna have to try to do this now, and maybe I think I'll use yellow instead of gold, but it looks amazing

I thought originally to do yellow but after painting up sunstorm I was out of the color. Too lazy to go and buy paint I found I had plenty of metallics on the bench. Thanks for the kind words guys now I have to decide what to paint next

I might actually pick this guy up if I see him in a store just so I can do a repaint similar to this.

Man, these are the colors we should have gotten. :( Very nicely done! I like the bright neon green, it reminds you this is a character from the 90s. ;)

You had to do Hasbro's job, and for that I'm angry. With them, not with you. As for your work? Fantastic. You made this ridiculously crappy looking mold look not only good, but as it should, full on G2 badassness.

Now, to hope someone, somewhere, will make this an official figure in this deco. Oh...how I want it.

Thanks for the comment, though I would not call the mould crappy, original colour scheme yes. This may be me just being pedantic but I was impressed with the mould details, especially the head sculpt.

On the plus side it is a very easy toy to take apart and repaint :KREMZEEK:
