When i saw the legends Flamewar picture i had to try and do her...it looks awesome!!

http://transformers-legends.wikia.com/wiki/Flamewar

So i got a prime RID arcee .... the figure is pretty good ...but i didn't like how the seat was just there in robot mode ...just hanging down in the back making her looking like a bee butt ... And looking at it from the side it looked like it fit in when u turn it around behind the bike head....
So that was my first task to see if that worked ,so i had to cut the seat in half ...

She just been primed white first and i just putty in for the missing section when i cut it with the dremel...

I fitted a double ball joint at both ends and the seat fit perfectly.... So now she doesn't have the seat handing down and can't be seen between her legs :)

wow that is awesome! i've always hated the bee-butt look on toys like arcee, starscream, etc.

and yeah the art is amazing - the one redeeming feature of that game xD

The figure was too small to mask it the normal way so i had to do it backward .... and mask out the highlights first before the background... I don't know how this going to turn out....:D... always a first trying this stuff out..

Looking at the improvement in the profile shots, it's a shame the front wheel couldn't be split TM-Tarantulas-style to sit over each shoulder.

That a good idea.....and im looking at it now i think it can be split up as well..looks like the back wheels...but they glued it together ... If a found a cheap arcee at the fair....ill might try and do it for moonracer ...green bike...:D

Holy s*** Lancalot! :eek::eek::eek:
That is a truly exceptional effort; I love those combination of colours and Flamewar really has a cool deco, together they form a very desirable repaint indeed. ;):cool:
