I've had this sitting in my 'to do' box for aaaages... even before Botcon went all G2.
It's made from a Universe Cyclonus I bought from a member here and a Universe Blaster head.
The head was ground down so the jet nose could go down. It's not as perfect a fit as the original Cyclonus head and the side of it can be seen in jet mode, but if Hasbro can get away with it with the Seekers then I think I can too. :p
The jet is slightly mistransformed to differentiate it from Cyclonus. I also cut off the secondary fins that are usually on Cyclonus' forearms and stuck them on the legs/rear of the plane.

The original, the custom, the base model
The purple I used ('warlock purple' for those playing along at home) isn't a perfect match but it was the closest I could find. I think it, the black and metal green I used evoke G2 sufficiently without being a riot of colours.
