Most of you have seen my custom Sideswipe. Here (http://procustomizers.com/showthread.php?t=451&highlight=sideswipe)
BUt here is some of my earlier work. Sorry that the altmode pics aren't as nice as the robot modes. The altmodes were shot when I finsihed them and the paint on these guys is rather thick, making them a pain in the ass to transform. Watcha think?

Ironhide

This was my first custom. Just a straight up repaint. This was before I knew to take them apart and before I had good paints. The pictures really don't do the red justice, it's actually darker than it looks here.

Breakaway

Custom #2! Again a straight up rapaint. Loved this blue, but it is that cheap Folk Art paint from Wal-Mart. It flakes and chips like crazy. To top it off, when I sprayed it with clear, the spray ate throught some of the blue. Oh, well. Live and learn.

Prowl

My first attempt at making one Transformer from another. This started off as ROTF Jolt. I got the idea of doing ROTF Prowl as a SWAT team leader's car from the armor-like car parts on Jolt. I cut off the triangular piece behind his head. Swapped his head for ROTF Gears. Had to do some putty work to make the larger ball joint work. Also, removed the electro-whips. He too, has been painted with Flok Art Metallic Vlack and Gold. Used Tamiya Gun Metal and Copper for accents. Wanted to do a lot more with this one, but ended up losing interest after not being able to find a light rack, or any advice on LEDs.
