![[Kandy Mp Sunstorm] Took the MP Seeker mold and did alitle different take on the Sunstorm character. I used automotive grade kandy tangirine and Apple red on this and some HOK rainbow shift. This guy is bling in every since of the word! His eyes have been painted with Kustom Kolors glow in the dark, although the picture didn't do that great at capturing the effect in the dark you will be impressed in person! To fully appreciate this paintjob you have to watch the video where I took him outside and let the sunlight hit him... WOW does he sparkle!!!!!!!!!!
This is a one of a kind custom that is ment for the serious collector not to be played with or frequently transformed. Although every precaution from prep to clear coating has been done to give a long lasting vibrant paintjob, frequent transformation may cause paint chips and or scuffs.](userimages/customs/40500/40111-1.jpg) Kandy Mp Sunstorm Transformersby VaderThorTook the MP Seeker mold and did alitle different take on the Sunstorm character.

![[MP Lightning Storm 2.0] I started with a MP Skywarp as the base.

The figure was completely disassembled cleaned and prepped for best paint adhesion. The lightning effects were airbrushed free hand no stencils or decals were used. I have also included some accessory lightning effects to give a more 3-D feel to the lightning effect. Next I added fine line detailing in the chest, feet , eyes, head and on the weapons as can be seen in the pictures. As a bonus the figure base has also been done in theme with free hand airbrushed lightning and some 3-D lightning effects as well.

The figure was base coated white, with bright blue and royal blue mixtures for a good transistion of color and overall "freeze" affect and accumulated ice on leading edges, and various parts on the figure were done with sculpting apoxi for durability and realistic texture. Panel lining and detailing have been done throughout the figure to make the subtile details of the figure stand out. As a bonus I have also done the base in the same paint scheme as the figure! Alot of time and effort went into this figure, so I hope it shows. Though I have done extensive prep work to ensure a long lasting paintjob, please be aware that transformation should be limited.

The gun belt has been weathered and given a slight rust affect for contrast. A red jewel has been placed in the barrel to give the appearnce of weapon powering up to fire.

His eye was airbrushed with a bright red instead of an LED so that it always looks bright red instead of having to flip a switch.

First he was cleaned with alcohol, wet sanded and primed for best paint adhesion possible. I used only Kustom Kolors on him because they are the best quality paints available in my opinion and details were done in enamels. Neon Charetuese has been used on the eyes and blasters and neon orange has been used in shading some details as well as the missle pods. This makes for one heck of a glow effect under a black light, truly amazing how much it glows! The base coat is a custom color mix I did for acheiving the right tone of a yellowish orange color and then and secondary deeper orangish yellow color mixed for shading through out the body for a subtle but wonderful effect. The flame blasts in the jet mode are detachable and can be used in robot mode for the blasters as pictured. A flame ball is also provided for display purposes to show Sunstorms power to create and manipulate fire literally in the palm of his hand!!!

The base has been customized to keep the Lightning storm theme and a powerful LED has been placed in the base for night time illumination (or to replenish his power!)

Grindor has suffered a major blaster hit in the midsection from Optimus while trying to distract him for lord Megatron's flanking move. This didn't work out so well as lord Megatron took a foot right in the face, less painful then what Grindor got! Grindor recovered himself and pressed forward to aid his Lord Megatron only to recieve another blaster hit in the upper right side but luckily Grindor was quick enough to avoid the blast somewhat and only recieve a singe on his side. But Optimus was determined to stop Grindor in his tracks firing again, to which Grindor jumped over only recieving minor burns on his knees and legs. Just as Grindor hit the ground only a few feet from striking distance to Optimus, Optimus bore down his blaster at point blank range and blasted Grindor directly in the chest sending him 20 feet backward sliding on h](userimages/customs/28500/28013-1.jpg) Grindor Playtime with Optimus |
