Description
Do you remember those brightly colored G2 Transformers Cyberjets? They're still ranked up there as extremely articulated figures for the time and I use to have them all. Here's my take on Air Raid, the black stealth plane. He was made from a Hunt for the Decepticons Terradive and Power Core Combiner Leadfoot commander head. LF's head has the perfect T-visor that the Cyberjets had and it's even yellow. His torso was modified so it doesn't flip around and fold, rather carving plastic out of the way so it sits flush in front. I airbrushed the odd blue shading on the back of his wings like the original had and detailed him up with metallics and blue styling. Now Air Raid is ready to take to the skies and fight the Decepticons!Related content

Insanely good work! Btw it's great how you stack several pic on top of each other!
(If you added on more with the original, ppl could see how much you done.)

That is really nice. I had the idea to use this mold for Hooligan (my fav) but that paint scheme is beyond my skill level lol.
What was the base for the head if you dont mind me asking?

I still have the G2 Air Raid. Two, in fact. One I have still in his packaging, and one I had played with as a wee kid, found in a box of old stuff, and he still looked almost new.

I have one of those, I think, all ball jointed and even the kibble on the underside looked right still. unlike RTOTF Jetfire's.

I like how in the second picture down the light catches his helmet perfectly with a tiny little lensflare. that's some awesome photography!
I love the red accents, they really make the blue POP with the contrast.

If i may ask you a question, from customizer to customizer, Do you generally customize for yourself or for someone else/sale?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I customize the characters I like or what interests me at the time. Then I put them up on Ebay each week and see who wants them.

i understand, I customize for myself most of the time (i'm a greedy bastard lol), got one that i'm working on for a wedding present, but finding time for it is challenging.

It consistently amazes me how, despite the often complex modifications you do, that your customized figures still transform.
