Repainted a TFA Starscream I bought on this here boards (forgotten the seller's name :o) and added the arms from a cyberverse Slipstream (damn immobile thing).
I had planned to add the cyberverse nosecone but it just looked funky.
I cut off the vents on the head, then glued them upside down on the opposite side. I had to trim the neck pylons for the head to fit.
Jet mode has taken a hit - I can't fit the arms under the legs - but bot mode is where it's at for me.
I put a black wash on the chest jet intakes to add a bit of contrast.

I finally cracked and replaced the arms. It can now transform but has no arm cannons.
I kept the forearms but ground down the elbows on the original's upper arms so the forearms could clip on.

I really like that jet mode... I wish we had more of the seekers done before Animated ended.

I love the TFA model for slipstream. Here's a legion-sized version I did a few years ago.

I trimmed her chin but never got around to fixing her hair style.
