this guy was done moreso because i didn't want the headache of looking for the japanese show exclusive.mods done to them are=
- original 6 missile launcher salvaged from a junker g2 dreadwing.
- original dreadwing head salvaged from the same junker.the head was cored out like a cantalope,then had a ball joint cup end fused inside of it.
- front half of cybertron scout class clocker's head was fused to the back half of rotf skystalker's head,thereby re-using the stock balljoint neck set up.
- two loonie store army gattling guns had their handles shaved down to fit skystalkers hook weapon's clips.
- skystalker has had two new holes drilled to be able to mount the gattling cannons to him in jet drone mode.
- the g2 gecepticon logo's were carefully removed from the junker and then reapplied to these two.
i somewhat worked out a mistransformed 3rd mode for dreadwing.it's kinda almost like a wfc/war within/cybertronian hover tank.
as soon as i can track down another 6 original dreadwing missiles,then i'll consider him complete.
all paints used were tamiya acrylics coated in krylon clearcoat.his 6 red ovals on his wings are red translucent vinyl,added to help him look more g2-ish.the silver stripes in his leading wing edges change color like a cd does in the sunlight.i ended up not doing the funky green/black camo stripe's that the original has on the wings....it just made him look funny.
after all's said and done,i'm kinda happy now that i couldn't aquire the japanese exclusive version.
the blue bfg can also flip around and become a ginormous booster engine too.
combined jet mode
hovertank mode being manned by starscream.
combined hovertank mode.
starscream's jet/drone mode.the main drawback with the head bash is that now you can totally see his face.
starscream's bot mode.once he runs out of ammo,ditch the guns and grab the hooks off his wings.
dreadwing's bot mode.
