Description
A 'repaint' I did using Instructions for Armada Wheeljack downloaded from Hasbro's official Transformers website, [link]My favorite of my four Headmaster repaints, by far, Chromedome. I was always a fan of Chromedome in G1, and he WAS the only one of the four Autobot Headmasters that I had as a kid. Looking at his G1 toy now, I don’t really see what the big deal is, because his toy isn’t anything special, but…I still have the same ‘favorite’ feeling I did when I was a kid. Just don’t understand why. Anyways, Chromedome’s original color scheme was a very piecey and hodgepodge batch of parts and colors. I soon found out that it is near impossible to replicate them and make them look good, but somehow the original managed to still pull such an odd color scheme off. I think I replicated it pretty good, though it doesn’t seem to ‘mesh’ as well as the G1 one did, but I’m still pretty happy with it. Chromedome was my favorite of the Headmasters, and this repaint, while flawed, is my favorite of the repaints.
His Minicon would of course be Stylor. Lame ass name, I know, but that’s what his original Headmaster partner was named.

Ah, another success from the master of repaint art.
Very cool lookin', Assey. Really good choice of colors, even if they don't exactly match up with the original's. That you have. Apparently. Grrrr... *takes deep breath*
The robot's head looks real nice, to, and so does Stylor. But, I have an issue I'd like to discuss with you about the line art itself. I think you've fixed the problem for the robot mode, but the vehicle mode still has that Decepticon logo outline on it. Sure it looks like one of those hood ornament-things, but it makes it hard to think of him as a full Autobot warrior... Aaaaand, if you'd like, I could try to fix those two Autobot symbols for ya, so that future repaints you do with 'em for the good guys would have a big 'ol 'bot symbol on them.

HAD the original. HAD. I HAD a lot of tf's as a kid, and I miss them all now. Chromedome is long gone buddy. Only a fond memory.
As for the symbols...The 'con symbol is ONLY on his v mode pics. i didn't edit anything. they didn't bother adding it to his bot mode. And since it IS so non-descrpit, and DOES look just like a hood emblum in v mode, I see no reason to get rid of it personally. And it doesn't really even have the SHAPE of a 'con symbol anymore, how can you have such a hard time imagining him as a bot? Hell, for all my autobot repaints of decepticon molds, I just paint the con symbol red. You'd think you'd have more of an issue with that then this little thing.
As for fixing the symbol, you can try if you want, but I'd probably prefer to use this version. I try doing my repaints into what is feasibly possible. It's unlikely that Hasbro would do a remold instead of just a cheap and quick repaint, so I don't remold anything, even though there's plenty of times I wish I could. Only exceptions were Whirl's face and Scourge's. But...those are two characters I'm biased with, so...screw the rules in those cases. Actually...I think I remolded the 'mouth' off my Strongarm/Roadbuster repaint, but again. HE gets the special treatment.

Nothing to appologise about. Ain't like you aren't entitled to your preferences and oppinions. I was just telling you my own, and since I'M the one doing the repaints...

Thanks, but I just tried to mirror the originals. I don't think I got the exact tints down. I think my palish tan needs to be a little duller, and I think the original one's red was somewhere between the two I used. I'm still pretty happy with it though.

her i am agian. Stylors bio would read... "Stylor while a reliable soldier is often distracted by teh various female micromasters and minicons he comes across. Whiel chrome dome enjoys teh little warriors vigor he si secretly jealous that the small autobot is so popular among the ladies somethingChromedome wished he was"

the only thing he's really missing is his old head mold... if hasbro can do that i'll buy him in a heartbeat.
