TF The Movie Skywarp

When I got my hands on the Deluxe Dreadwing figure last Summer, I knew I was going to be doing a repaint, as the stock was pretty boring. Reading the characters bio on the back of the package cinched my mind though:

DREADWING isn’t terribly intelligent, so no one’s certain where he got the teleportation technology that allows him to warp up to two and a half miles instantly. He sure didn’t invent it and no one else has it, so he must have stolen it, which makes sense. He is, after all, a born thief.

The obvious choice (for me at least, lots of people disagree) after reading that was to, of course, turn him into Skywarp - my favorite jet from the original Transformers. Boo ya.

Skywarps hands were made from a Spidey 3 Doc Ock figure. He was airbrushed and hand-painted with custom enamel colors. You can see the whole step-by-step blog post from the archives RIGHT HERE (warning - language nsfw).
