An original creation of mine to complete the trio of Rainmakers, made by putting a KO Starscream's cockpit, head and missiles on to a KO Ramjet body.

Unfortunately his face has lost some of its definition. I might try give him eyes later but it's going to need a real steady hand to do so. As usual for a KO his chest won't close up completely. The Ramjet wingtips also snapped off so I have glued them on to the wings.

I did think about painting his shin guards white but I think his feet and thighs are enough.

Nice mod, the light colours work pretty well against the darker colours of Acid Storm, do you have the other retail seekers? a group shot of all nine would be cool.

Good job. I agree about a shot of all 9 together.

indeed this is very good and very viable as well for a genuine toy.
how were you able to paint the cockpit window transparent blue (or was that already part of KO Starscream's build?

i agree with posting the 9 seekers together.

Thanks... the cockpit was already blue, which lended itself to this colour scheme.

And who said I had only nine Seekers? :p (not all are retail, however....)

I like the "Icestorm" name and choice of colours to make him look more distinct from Thundercracker. :)

Wouldn't snow storm or blizzard storm work better. (just suggestions- icestorm is good though)

KOs actually work quite well with customs. You don't feel guilty.
