    Default WFC/FOC Dirge

    Had a spare FOC Starscream lying around and a spare ROTF Jetblade head, so smooshed them together to make Dirge. No particular reason: it could have been Thrust or Ramjet.
    To my eyes the movie aesthetic on the head evokes the FOC-feel.
    I split the cone of the head for jet mode and use one of the halves like an extra fin (see pic). I think it's a reasonable solution to hiding the head.
    I did intend to turn his wings upside down, but my pin punch broke and a replacement hasn't arrived yet.

    It’s good! Although have to ask: doesn’t this make you want to go and do the other coneheads?

    The head matches and the paint looks great! Not able to move the wings onto the legs?

    hahah, what a dick thing to say! you know how addictive these sets of 3 can be.

    I like it, I think turning the wings would make the robot mode feel kind of droopy.
