Hello! Thanks for dropping by!

Im a fan of Transformers Animated, but the design of Safeguard(jetfire/jetstorm combined) just doesn't really impress me. I think the twins were one of the weaker designs in the line. So, i decided to customize them, and the idea that came into my head is non other than G1 Jetfire!

The Parts i used are from the jet twins, and added some bits and pieces from my "parts box". I used jetstorm's head and made it into a helmet by adding antennas and sculpting a facemask. So here he is, and i can say i'm very pleased with the result! Hope you like it! Enjoy!

thank you. well, basically it's just jetstorm. i turned his body around so his back is now his front. Then obviously the limbs and head should follow. i turned his head around, and detached/reattached his legs so they properly face forward. After that i swapped the left and right shoulder joints, so when i peg them to their holes, they are pointing upwards, but can still tab on to jetstorm's collar thingy. then for the arms i simply detached the "arms" of safeguard and luckily they fit perfectly on the shoulders' balljoints. and that's it!....of course i then added some parts ands stuff like wings, a joint to make the cockpit pivot/rotate,...etc. i'll try to post a transformation slide if i find time.

well i hope that cleared some stuff up. forgive my writing please as im not too good in explaining things. 8-}

thanks again guys

nope it's just the body of one twin (jetstorm). ijust used safeguards "arms" instead. the altmode is still same (twin altmode) with just a few mods on the cockpit area. the leg transformation is same as jetfire/jetstorm just with the additional set of safeguard arms to serve as the jetpack/thrusters.
