Description
A 'repaint' I did using Instructions for TF: CYBERTRON Snarl downloaded from Hasbro's official Transformers website, [link] , and then heavily edited by me.Grotesque, one of the 2 Cybertron Monsterbots I did as a special request from ~SigmaCore .
As I have stated many, MANY times, I don’t do requests for people, with a few exceptions. Siggy is one of those exceptions. He asks me to do something, I do it, no questions asked. But when it’s a kickass idea like this, you can’t go wrong. Love the original Monsterbot figures/characters and it was a fun but interesting challenge to re-imagine them. Mostly because it wasn’t something I normally would have thought of, had I not been prompted, but I’m thankful I was. I loved figuring these guys out. And I love the final results. I WANT to own these figures now.
Unlike Doublecross, I was totally torn about this figure though. My original version, I had the gray and magenta plastics swapped. It made the beast mode look a lot better, but the robot mode wasn’t quite as good as this one. I honestly couldn’t figure out which one I wanted to use. They both worked so well in my book. If I could have used the beast mode of one and robot of the other, we would have had the perfect Grotesque. But, while I couldn’t decide, luckily I had my wife and Siggy and a few other friends all throw their opinions at me, and they all unanimously decided this was the better version. I can’t argue with that, as the robot mode is just spot on, and the beast mode is a decent enough, and definitely recognizable version. I just can’t “give up” on my original version though, like I usually do when I make a better one. So, for anyone interested, I’ll throw it in my scraps and add links to it as well.

Well as i mentioned in my description, this is what my friend requested, so this is what i did. Personally, i think this colorscheme works much better then wierdwolf's anyways, as all that yellow and white would look (somehow) even more garish then this in my opinion.
