Description
Yes America I am doing my part to relieve the yellow plague that is infesting our retail stores everywhere and with that stated I bring you Silverstreak.I repainted BB with a color scheme based on the Classics Silverstreak with a few added touches here and there.
The head is BBs with the face section removed and replaced with a modded WFC Megatron face and styrene.

the only good thing about the yellow plague is that HE MELTS EASILY
especially if you can get him on clearance ^^

Seriously... *any* repaint of the Prime Bee mold simply looks better than the base Bumblebee...

what kind of paints do you use? Do they peel off if you move any of the robot's joints?

I use various brands. Testors, Krylon, Citadel, and Vallejo. Paint were is an issue so it takes prep work before painting to solve those problems. Once you find the rub zone it requires quite a bit of sanding and sometimes topping with crazy glue to prevent paint wear.
Hope that helps ya and thanks,
Shinobi

aH, I always wondered what paints to use over joints where they don't ware off when you move them. The crazy glue suggestion is a great idea.

I REALLY hate how Michael Bay's influence has gone beyond the Movie-verse TF's.
BB seems to be the most prominent example.
I was never a fan the movie's mecha designs,
(I admit there were a couple of exceptions)
but I've always disliked in particular, BB's perfectly circular eye design.
More than that, what really wangs my chung was BB's R2D2-esque speech.
Aside from the movies, these traits were put into the TFP show and even (I've heard) the RescueBots show.
Whose bright idea was it to incorporate Michael Bay's version of BB into all unrelated TF universes?
Will BB ever speak again??!!
ANYWAY....
Great custom work on this.

Another fine custom. The only complaint that I have w/ it is that you didn't call him "Bluestreak."
