Description Custom painted Transformers Hailstorm.

Since Hailstorm's bios says he avoids up close fights and prefers to unleash massive artillery from a distance, I did this stealth version of him.

Like my Autobot Copper custom, I wanted him to have a slightly different overall color scheme in robot mode than alt mode, but still dark and decepticon-ish in both.

I sculpted and painted mud on the treads in a way that it would look like the mud was mashed up between his folded treads in robot mode. Also added wear on the metal in bot mode while the tank mode looks newer but dirty.

This guy is going on Ebay now with a buy now price.

I found him at Walmart. Fairly cool figure.
If I'd known he was tough to find I would have sold him for more that $60 though.

That looks pretty sweet! I'm still waiting for a tankformer that can turn it's treads and keep it that way even through the transformation though...
