Thank you...he's still Perceptor, tho.
After I seal him I can put him back together..but work and stuff...

I am going to do a few in other colors.
I will post pics with a better camera when he is finished

Sadly, the sealer I need I just can't find anywhere. So after a long week I screwed him back down.
He needs a couple touchups maybe. But he pops with the color shift paint I out on him.
I am going to take pics of him outside in the sun..but

I fear I will never feel like I am done with him
I've added another color scheme to him to give a more metalluc look.
I have just now added black accents, but I may spray them too.

Hmmmmm...are you going to repaint him into Energon Six Shot, but leave a purple Death's-Head-Cylon on each shin?

Or do some generics from 5 Faces of Darkness? This may well be the best Shockwave mold to troop-build with for that purpose. Or at least he will be if every type of Core Shockwave currently pegwarming gets clearanced.

Either way, so far, so good!

The paint is still wet
The torso, the head then the chest

I really wish I could melt clear red plastic and fill the chest in. But I don't have that tech :-P

I had to destroy Studio Ravage to harvest his tail.
It was on one of two pins that hold the body together.
I tried to hammer the pin out to no avail.

I will need two more to give Six Shot his satellite arm

While I am still slowly progressing with Sixshot, the Ravage graveyard will show that, I felt compelled to splash my new Core Ratchet with some more red.

Hey ya!
I wanted to share with ya'll my Skullgrin repaint.
Think of him as Grimgrin, an upgraded version
if you will.
A simple reskin,but I like that.

The addition of the new beast battlemasters kick him
off for me. They give him a Trapjaw appeal to me.
I will paint them as well.
I will pick up another Cheetor and give him dual cat/blades too.

Bio:
As Skullgrin followed his prey farther into the cavern
he encountered a dark substance, seemingly glowing and dark as blindness at the same time.
Upon touching it he was transformed inside and out. His mind altered, no longer submitting to Decepticon or Autobot indoctrination Grimgrin operates only to serve the purpose of the dark substance.
What is this purpose?

Three Studio Series Ravage where sacrificed to build the satellite arm piece
Molotow chrome under Tamiya clear red to impersonate the clear red plastic.
Iraqi Sand for the beige
It took me way too long to finish, but I'm happy with it. ;)^
