Description
FINALLY! This guy has been sitting on my shelf waiting to be customized since his release. I wanted to paint him in colors that matched my Prime custom (you'll see why). Mostly grays and some red. The best thing about this custom is that he now has HANDS. I used Universe Onslaught and just did a simple hand swap. I had to add a little washer so that the new forearms would fit tighter but that it. WingBLADE can now hold his BLADES.Related content

Interestingly, the colors make me thing of the Armored-up Valkyries from Robotech/Macross...

Wasn't this mold originally intended to pay homage to G1 Sky Garry based purely on how the chest looks?

The Wing Saber toy from the Transformers Energon toyline, like this mold, was intended to pay homage to Sky Garry from the one of the last Transformers manga series late in the run of G1 who was a Japanese exclusive toy.

Cool stuff! I love how you make the paint look faded as if from regular degradation over time (faded in the raised, darker in the recessed).

Awesome use of metallics and weathering effect looks great!

The jet looks great and overall cool paint work but just having the red on his chest looks somehow out of place to me. Maybe if he had a bit of red details on his legs, arms, and head too?

Oh yeah the combined mode. I forgot about that.
Still could help the robot mode and wouldn't hurt combined mode right? Jes a suggestion.

I hear you. I just wanted the jet mode to look more solid. The red barely shows since it's underneath.

Agreed. The jet looks really realistic.
