Yay! Toys R Us in UK are having a clear out to make room for 2015 toys so Deluxe Generation AOE figs are price reduced from £14.99 to £6.49 so I got Slug and Strafe (and they came with little figures meant to represent their G1 counterparts for some reason) and I'm looking at your repaints and considering doing mine like that.

A definite and much needed improvement to the original paint job that Hasbro released this figure in. AMAZING paint apps, bro! Now THAT's a Dinobot!
Btw, what type of paints did you use? Enamel or acrylic? What brand? I have some Transformers I've been wanting to repaint, but I've read that enamel works better on Transformers. Up until now, I've only used acrylics. Just curious.

thanks again NeCro I'll upload to others tonight.

the short answer I use acrylics mainly 'Tamiya' but I got a few 'vallejo' I'm slowly changing to vallejo as I think they are much better quality wise but thats just IMO.

the long answer....
I used acrylics on these, not sure if they're the best option durability wise but I don't intend to play with them just display with minimal transformations. I still got most of my earlier tf customs that are still in great shape paint wise next to no joint rubbing etc.

I have used enamels in the past but they always remained slightly sticky and tacky especially on rubber parts which the A.O.E TF's have got quite a few main bits that are rubber (tails, horns, weapons etc). maybe I done something wrong but since then I've always used acrylics.
hope that helps

Thanks, meeko. I appreciate the feedback...I also use Tamiya's, Vallejo's, Model Masters' & GameWorks'. I agree with you, Tamiya's can be a bit tricky to work with. I'm just gonna have to take the plunge and repaint one of my smaller Transformers using my acrylic paints, hopefully sooner than later. Thanks again for you input, brother. Have an awesome 2015!

no probs can't wait to see your TF's

Looks awesome. Very cool. I think one reason they were brightly coloured is that all silver probably makes them look all too similar on the toy shelves and kids are more attracted by a variety of colours?

thank you, that kinda makes sense and I suppose it gave me a reason to repaint it

sweet repaint

cheers
