I just can't let Windblade be on her own without her bodyguard now, can I? :P
Made her with Chromia parts + Busou Shinki body + several gundam parts for extra joints and stuffs

She gets new feet and splitting front tyres to bring her closer to her IDW appearance
Image

Canopy is now removable shield, complete with the boosters from her buttflap glued on for a wider top, as in the comics
Image

Shield has 2 gripping points for multiple posing choices
Image

Image

Image

Reversed shield for movie-style blasters! :grin:
Image

Her feest in this mode also acts as stabilizers when posed without the stand
Image

Backpack+Shield= Mini Monowheeled drone unit.
Image

Like my Windblade custom, different hands for different poses.
Image

Magnets hidden behind these parts (positioned in cyan) to keep tyres together in altmode.
Image

Comparison with WB. The new feet helps give her extra height over WB. Also, replaced WB's legs with stock legs (because the ball joints totally fits! :DANCE: ) Now she looks less lanky.
Image

Nekomimi Windblade, just because :P
Image

Altmode. Head need removal for transformation. Clips on her arms allow for axe-cannon storage
Image

Rear view
Image

Regular mode vs Speed mode
Image

Frontview
Image

I kept the steering intact, so she could do those Batpod wheelflipping stunts!
Image

Altmode with blacklight. Red parts were painted over with a neon orange sharpie.
Image

Chromia in blacklight. Neon blue sharpie on several places on her body to break up the monotonous paintjob when under UV light.
Image

At times I wonder why we get Marvel X Transformers and not Tron X Transformers. :HEADHURTS:
Image

Cheers!
:KREMZEEK:

On my desk! :lol: It is a large head after all, so some partforming (reads: Decapitation) is required :grin:

Canopy should have been removable to become her shield (as in the Windblade miniseries) from the start. So yeah, you fixed Hasbro's work. Well done :)

Axe head and beam is from Sinanju, actually :p The shaft is from GN-XIII's lance, with a cylindrical extension to make it longer. Mmmmm shaft extensions...wait wha- :shock:

I know, right? What's bothering me is that there's a clip on her butt armor that connects to the thruster piece that serves no purpose in the figure; you can flip the thrustes up and it swivels on that pin, but it makes me wonder if there was a point in time where a removable canopy was planned.

This is really great work! Nice work on the head and the paint is brilliant.
