Finished yesterday, an oversized Titanium Seeker KO painted as Skywarp.

I've got another two of these. Here's the WIP shot of Starscream. Since I'm running out of materials it will probably be next weekend before I can get him fully tidied up, sealed and assembled, but at least Thundercracker should be well on the way as well by then.

I'm working with the Classics toys and images from the War Within comics as refference but not being slavish to following the exact colour schemes from either.

Pretty good, although I am not a fan of the tit designs

That looks pretty cool... and personally I'm glad you're not trying to stick to closely to the colours, especially to the Classic. I really don't like the pink they used for Classics Skywarp at all. G1 was more of a light violet, although my own version (Starscream repaint) used a proper violet.

Once I'm through with the current batch of KO repaints I'm planning to do some minor paint work on various bits of the Classics line and even (shock, horror!) a yellow chest on Botcon Springer. I'm thinking that the purple I've used on this version of Skywarp looks sufficiently sinister and am thinking of redoing the purples on the Classics version in the same shade. The paint aps on my Classics Skywarp are a bit wishy washy anyway.

I think your purple's a good choice. ;)^

I've just had a look and he doesn't have any more listed at the moment, but he has been getting them through fairly regularly. Came to £35UK shipped for three of these and an oversized Classics Astrotrain. I've written a brief review of the KOs in their basic form here http://seibertron.com/forums/viewtopic. ... t=435&sid=
fourth post down the page.

And if you like tit gags then consider that these are technically oversized tit seekers :shock:

Nice work, and I like the more blue purple you have used for your kitbash, it's a nice colour change, yet still very easy to tell who it is meant to be.

I didn't know they made Titanium KO's where did you get them?

I was about to ask this same question :)

Except that the question's already been asked and answered only a couple of posts earlier.
To make things easier for those who weren't paying attention, I've even bolded the pertinent information.

As Ramrider said I'd already posted that info above. Since there aren't any of these listed at the moment here's a pic of an unmodified one.

They come in red, yellow, orange and blue.
