Description A 'repaint' I did using Instructions for Armada Blurr downloaded from Hasbro's official Transformers website, [link]

Next member of the “Gestalt Project” Technobots, is Lightspeed, one of the cooler looking cars in G1 (At least for a little gestalt limb one). I knew from the beginning that it had to be Armada Blurr for this guy, and I think it came out pretty good. My only “problem” with this is it’s a little too similar to the TFU Swerve toy that just got released, but I tried my best to make it as different as possible. With the white windows, silver parts, and two slightly different shades of red, I think I managed to make it as different as possible given the exact same color schemes, heh. I’m quite pleased with this guy, and think he definitely came out one of the best members of the Technobot team.

His Minicon would be Heavy Tread, named after the Micromaster he most closely resembles in Vehicle mode. I know the colors are off (G1 was orange) and the vehicle modes are completely different, but I don’t care. It’s close enough for me.

HA! I knew you where gonna use the Armada Blurr mode for this guy! Pretty neat stuff too, even considering Hasbro's new Swerve fig. I might just rename my TFU Swerve and call him Lightspeed instead. (I was planning on renaming him Sideswipe, but this is much better. )

Very nice indeed, even considering that that second red looks to be going towards the pink-side of the color wheel.

Yeah, couldn't do much about that light red. if I made the darker any darker, it would have been too dark, so here we go. Besides, if i remember correctly, While not exactly light, Lightspeed's red color was kind of a "dullish" red. Glad ya like it though. And yeah, if I happen upon TFU Swerve, he just might be my Lightspeed too, heh.
