Guido has been designing some fantastic retro character models recently:

More 'toy accurate' cartoon Stunticons - Breakdown and Dead End:

Hero/Legends/Commando/Classic Pretender Starscream (and the same mould in Shattered Glass/Action Masters colours) if they had been in Victory.

That's how Breakdown and Dead End should always have looked IMO. Those were two of my favourite looking robots as a kid and I hated the cartoon designs. I'm glad most modern G1 artists ignore the cartoon take on the scramble city Decepticons.

It seems that whatever Guido turns his hand to ends up looking simply exquisite; those pieces look amazing! :eek::cool:

Heh... imagine if the G1 cartoon had continued and Grimlock looked like that in Season 6.... then people would get the toy and feel mighty disappointed. :D

Yep, this guy is still silly good at what he does - I rather like that Masterforce (Pretender) Starscream, so much modern Anime potential. :D
