Description Argh, Moonracer. Because of how busy I've been, she took way longer to finish than she should have, and I'm kind of underwhelmed by the results.

I took in the windshield of the bike to give her a less broad chest, which turned out pretty well. Someday I may go back and break up some of that green with a little more black and white, though.

I was loathe to use a Blurr head for this, but Prowl's head is a tiny little pin even before you take down the long chin. So I guess she's Chromia's sister or something now. Not my original plan, but what can you do?

It took a while to come up with a weapon that spoke to the character's history as a sharpshooter while still fitting into the Animated philosophy. A javelin seemed like a good compromise.

Not bad, but there's a better mold for her which would be an even closer homage to G1, and that's the Bumblebee mold.

As I've said time and time again, I give each of my mold choices careful thought and I stand by them. I encourage anyone who disagrees with those choices to kitbash a custom figure of their own more to their liking.

Already did. My point was simply, if you wanted to make one that is more of an homage to the original character, you might want to consider making another using that mold. Just a suggestion. You do good work.

A piece of general advice though. When someone gives you constructive criticism or suggestions intended to help you grow as an artist, accept them for what they are, not as slights. They might have ideas that you may not have considered.

The javelin works! I love that color setup you've got too.

Niiiiiiiice! And she even has the armor! You almost made her like my Moonracer, only mine IS the sidecar while Chromia is the motorcycle! :3
