Thanks! I am planning to add more color to him in order to simulate his 10th Anniversary color scheme by including yellow on his chest circle. Overall I am pretty satisfied with this final color scheme so I will be moving onto doing the bike mode next - Of course tweaking that will also tweak areas of the robot mode including adding color to the back of the claws. I plan to paint the back of it with yellow lines in order to simulate the stripes in the Spider mode abdomen.
You mean its too purple? I am not sure about adding more orange to the wheel arms as that would move it away from the Botcon character model we saw in the comic but I was thinking of adding a bit of washed green on the tyre dent detailing to simulate the green dots in Tarantula's TM2 alt mode.
Again, I'll tweak that when I move onto fine tuning the bike mode color scheme.
Thanks for your help guys, your views have helped a lot in tweaking the character tribute in the robot mode.

Fineshed doing the bike mode colors based on the Last robot mode colors plus some added highlights:
What do you guys think?
Modified Robot mode colors to reflect Bike mode color highlights:

Instantly recognisable as Tarantulas.
Someone else on the boards repainted this exact same toy into Rattrap and it looked quite good. Could probably also do a decent Black Arachnia, Airrazor and Waspinator with Reverb too...![]()
Looking For: Wreckers Saga TPB Collection (with Requiem)
Thanks! I am pretty happy with it myself.
Unless somebody has some more sugestions, I think that I will start preparing to make this digibash a reality.
Yeah, the mold is very Beast Wars like!
However I see him more as Tarantulas as he is kind of stocky like this mold while Rattrap and Airrazor are more sleek plus they already have their own cybertronian toys. However a Wolfang blue repaint would be cool as the head is almost identical to his!

Looks great so far!
I still think it looks almost too puprle. If you went a shade darker it might be alright, or possibly add some green or yellow to the forearms and front wheel mudguard. Not quite the Dawn of Futures Past colouring, but would reflect his mandibles/arms from the show.
Yeah that's just the digibash which I am still practicing on color tweaking but its basically just a blueprint and preview for when I go about doing the real thing which at the moment, I am about 40% done. The digibash is basically the plan so that I can get a good view at the basic color scheme and make sure that I am happy with it before I go forth and use real paint on the toy.
So far I have the purple closer to the 10th Anniversary Tarantulas release which is more cartoon accurate. Once I have it completed I will take a photo but there is still much to do.
