Custom: Autobot Fastraker

Hey folks, this is my first time showing off my customs work. Please, constructive criticism is welcomed, but being rude isn't. I'm still *VERY* new at customizing, so be honest with me and help me become better at something I love doing!

So, for my first custom, I kind of tackled something I've been wanting to see, but haven't. As I started my project, the Decepticon clones were released as a BotCon thing, so it made it all the better for my idea.

Basically, the concept is Autobot Clones Fastlane and Cloudraker get damaged in a fight. The two are rebuilt using the remains of the brothers, but there's only enough for one body and some extras. So, instead of choosing which one to save, they put both minds in a Triple Changer body. Fastlane always liked going fast - he now rockets down the railways at 300 mph. Cloudraker wanted nothing more than to be able to leave the confines of the atmosphere - now he's a space shuttle!

So, backstory out of the way, here are the pictures!

I like it! The color scheme is both an homage to the original figure(s) and unique enough to fit the "Classics" feel of your base figure.

that's a really original idea. cramming two sparks into one bot to save them and make a triplechanger.

It looks pretty nice, my only constructive thoughts would be to consider masking around windows and little details. I've never done it myself, just a thought from what I've observed of others customs.

Sorry, but could you post actual pictures, and not the links to them here please? Photobucket is awful for seeing full-screen pics on my browser.

Cheers.

Sorry, I'm still new here. I didn't know I could post pics like that, or I'd have done so from the get go. :D

Nice! Thanks for re-doing the pictures. I think that there is a disconnect between this site and mobile at the mo. I'm not sure if it's due to the "old" (?) Nature of the code, and/or the fact that mobile devices add an extra "device/screen rotation" data tag (or something like that), which perhaps most PC's don't register. I think this is more so with iOS devices, as their system is probably proprietary? A similar problem can occur when making videos, especially as (many?) IOS users hold their iPhones the "wrong" way round in landscape, meaning the videos appear "upside down" when viewed on many PCs.
