I'm thnkin that i would use a light shade of pink on the grey plastic at his knees and biceps. His shoulders and claws i would try and chrome out. Just like the chest shield on the original.It does look like you tried the lighter pink on the biceps and silvered up the shoulder/claws area a bit though. It's just not showing up very distinctly.

That's about it really.

Oh......and carry the blue on the abs up around his head area. Like a blue stripe.

I really do love him painted like that!

did give him a slight pinkish hue on his biceps, but did nothing to the claws. That's just the Silver from the Picture.

A re-done version follows.



Added pink hue to knee area, and chromed out shoulders and claws. (Tried to anyway)

[MGrotusque]

YES! Done and done buddy. Excellent work!

That's the paint scheme i envisioned ever since that mold came out.....i feel like i owe you money or something..


What do you think of it? Ya like it?

There's a pretty impressive Acid Storm custom (based on the MP figures) selling on eBay right now for $500. Down at the bottom he shows pics of his custom Sunstorm and Ice Storm (???) too. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180726049031

Nice one Gema, i like what youve done especialy the chest peice looks like pecs and a six pack

The roof as a sheild was a good idea the only complaint is that lousy gun that mould keeps gettin

looks good though.

who did you use and how does the chest fit.

thanks. i used the widely available of this mold, Gen Red Alert

yeah, the gun is horrible. Just made a slot on the rotating chest panel

[Thadicon]

I love your custom Breakdown. Im doing one of my own and i have a few questions .How did you get the original paint off the red alert figure? and did you use Tamyia Paint for the repainting?
Any help is great help thanks

This:

IMO, it's the best BB mold for a black repaint

[RAcast]

I've been thinking about doing a kitbash using Cybertron Undermine/Repgunus as a base as BW Dinobot. However, I dont' have the figure and I have no idea if any of my ideas would work. Suffice it to say, I'd need to replace the head. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone could digibash something to that effect? Or at least the base mold in Dinobot colors?

If anyone has pictures, or knows where there are some, or would be willing to open up your Undermine to take pictures, I'd greatly appreciate it. I need to know what it looks like on the inside of the body before I decide on how to move forward.

Mike, ya gotta check this link out!
-What is it?
Some guys over at Seibertron.com have digibashed some great remolds of our figures!
-Really?! Wait, I'm checking it out now...
Great aren't they?!
-They sure are.
Awesome, when can we get R&D to look at them?
-Ummm, Geoff, we're gonna go with the Bumblebee repaints for 2012/13.
You're kidding me right..
-We're gonna jam in 8 per case of 12. Trust me, kids love Bumblebee
*sigh*

-We're gonna jam in 8 per case of 12. Trust me, kids love Bumblebee

See, that's the rub. They do. Every time you go to a store and they have the same old Bumblebee's and one new figure out, that doesn't mean they went in the back and grabbed a Wheeljack. Enough Bee's were sold to make them put out a whole new case of Bee's to get to a new Wheeljack. Juat because it looks like all the same Bumblebee's on the pegs doesn't mean it is. A lot of those are entirely new Bumblebee's that aren't going to be there by the end of the month. At least not until the line dies like ROTF and DOTM. So Hasbro and the toy store are making a ton of money and a lot more other figures are being put out and getting snatched up.

[craggy]

Because Hasbro hasn't gotten their moneys worth out of it, I say repaint/retool the Classics Seeker mold into the new Targetmasters:

Pink and white, with new forward-swept wings as Misfire

a repaint of that in blue and grey, with some gold, as Triggerhappy

and a darker blue and white with wings like Gen Thrusts (without the VTOL add-on) as Slugslinger.

Great minds and all that:





And no car mode pics(he never gets transformed so as not to accidentally scratch the paint), but here's a shot of the hood:

[Windsweeper]

Amazing work guys!!!

No pics myself unfortunately but a few suggestions:

Classics Blades/Evac redone in the more G1 accurate Legends colour scheme.

Evac - Blazemaster (They're not that far apart)

Defence Hotshot - Ruckus

Overhaul - Crankcase

Titanium Seeker mold - Windsweeper, Whisper, Stormcloud, WW Swoop. Always nice to get more Seekers and give older characters more history. Why must Grimlock be the only ex Con in the Dinobots.

Clocker - Hot Rod

Energon Divebomb - Banzai-tron

Generations Warpath - Gutcruncher

Classics Jetfire - Cloudburst

Cybertron Starscream - Jhiaxus, Bombburst (IDW)

Generations Windcharger - Blackjack

Generations G2 Prime (head remold) - Powertrain, Ironworks

Sorry, got carried away.
