suggestions for wip?

hi guys,long story short,i recently aquired a extra first release of classics starscream.unfortunately the guy i got him from tried to paint it himself.i ended up putting ss into a quart can full of 90 proof iso alcohol and forgot about it for 4 days.all of the paint the guy used is gone but so is all of the factory paint.now it kinda looks like a prototype tf.heres the question....do i...
  1. do battledamage and thrash him up a bit ala "TTT"?
  2. do a "ghost of ss version?
  3. do a realistic repaint?
  4. do a cartoon accurate version of ss?
i did already do thundercracker,skywarp and sunstorm already(just havent posted pics )and thats why i want the end result to still be starscream but a different version than the hasbro.what should i do???? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

bot mode.i did rip him all apart before the 4 day iso bath and thats why he still has silver paint on the cockpit.

funny thing about this mode is after the bath,i found out that his thrusters are actually a blue plastic like his forearms.that and his wings silver plastic doesnt match his fusalage's silver platic.

Re: suggestions for wip?

Starscream's ghost would be cool.
Did you soak the figure whole or did you take him apart?
I'm kinda surprised the silver is still on the yellow canopy.

Re: suggestions for wip?

i did take him apart completely for the soaking and the only 2 pieces that i didnt throw in was the cockpit chunks.(i almost stabbed my finger knocking out the pin that holds in the front chunk of the cockpit )

I hear you on that one.
Go figure it's the smallest pin and one of the hardest to get out.
