Description
A 'repaint' I did using Instructions for TF: CYBERTRON Runamuck I scanned myself from the copy of the instructions that came with the toy, and then heavily edited by me.…Ok, in an attempt to fix the huge fumble with Cybertron Runamuck, who has the deco of the black G1 Runabout, but the name of the white G1 Runamuck, here’s this. In my opinion, THIS should be Runamuck, and the black one we got in Cybertron should be named something like “Runaround.” That’s how it’d work in an ideal world. Er…well, in an ideal world, Hasbro would still own BOTH Runamuck AND Runabout, but since that can’t happen, this is a next-best situation. Pretty happy with how it came out. Definitely not the coolest looking car or bot out there, but I tried to get it as close to the original as I could. And those damn flames… Had to draw them in pixel by pixel. Only to have so much trouble deciding what color to make it, I almost gave up and omitted them completely, AFTER all the hard work I did to include them. Eventually, as a last ditch attempt to figure out a color that looked good enough to save them, I tried black and that just seemed to fit. Black flames would be awesome, especially if they had a bit of a gradient to gray or silver or something. And it kinda makes the car zebra looking too, heh. Anyways, I’m happy with this. I’d actually buy it. Which means I would be adding another Arm Sideswipe to my collection. May Primus forgive me…

Now this is just to creepy. You where right, the robot mode does look alot like the one I made. Freaky... And incidently, excellent work on the flames. They look incredible!

hey, as you said before, great minds think alike. that, or maybe we both just got infected by the same kind of insanity causing brain parasite. but it's definitly one of the two...
And BEING so close to yours, you already know how good it was going to be, heh. And I'm glad ya dug the flames. I hope/think black was the right color to go with on this one.
Now if someone can only convince Hasbro to release this instead of the blurr re-repaint-remold

I thought the Cyb Blurr repaint was proven false with the pics of the Bendy Prime and Demolishor repaints? If not, then it'll just mean more money for unimportant stuff like food and rent. Heh.
Black for the flames is perfect, Assey. It offsets the main color and enhances the gold paint apps. No worries there.

man, i was so disapointed by that Demolishor repaint. i love the mold, but i was just hoping for a landmine redeco. Oh well. Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll have some remolding. I just hope the colors are better looking then what it kinda seems like in the pic.

Well, I imagine by now you've seen what horrendous colors they put on him. And that Cyber Key... Ugh. Whatta rip off. I would have bought that repaint again had the colors even been those of Energon Sixshot, but with the ones he has now, he looks like he fell into a vap of Lucky Charms or sumthin'.

i'm torn about that one. we FINALLY get a demolishor in military colors, but they still made it look fruity and garish. and the loss of a minicon for a lame ass key with a minicon port is just WEAK. But...I do love that mold...and i DID buy anouther Arm Sideswipe repaint/remold for this line so...i'll prol'ly get it too. I'm such an enabler to hasbro's bad repainting habits...

Hey, at least you're not planning to get Prime's unrepaint. And I'm still wondering how they're gonna explain away the fact that he was reformated in Energon but somehow got his old body back?

why on earth would they bother to clear up a glaring inconsistancy like that? i guess someone hasn't been paying attention to the entire REST of the series...

I try to ignore glaring inconsistencies in the Armada-Cybertron-overse, which is why I usually enjoy the shows for the toy commercials that they are and just rewrite anything I don't like to my satisfaction - Just like the rest of the fandom.
