Protoform Prime and Starscream needed a friend in the worst way. I mean you can repaint those two all you want but the real star of the Protoform scene is Bumblebee as he was shown in the Transformers prequel people recieved on free comic book day. What else could I do, I had to make one! Check out the link for the specifics on how he was built and the comparison shot to the comic panel.
More pics here!------>

Awesome as always!!!
I've been following your tutorials, practicing and adapting your painting techniques, and every new one you complete I want to copy. I wasn't going to buy any movie toys until I saw your customs, but now I'm right into them.
It's going to send me broke, but keep the fantastic work.

Darnit Jinsaotome,you beat me to it again.
Yours is way better than the one i had in mind. (don't own the comic)
i'd give you a 10 out of 10.

damn I love that paint app. It looks like Nugold (a real alloy). Almost like a really clean, high polished, untarnished copper. Oh, and brilliant touch with the watch batteries. So simple, yet so effective.

agreed, but having one more color is nice. I hate nickel silver as well, but it has its purposes.

Hey, thanks for the kind words! Didn't mean to beat anyone to this, just wanted to make BB as the Protoform because the comic was so cool. Let's see yours too!

i'm still going trough the horrors of importing a protoform.
Aside from bb,where there any other characters in the comic that had a protoform in one of the pics?
