[Captain Blood]

Ow so tough - so similar but so different at the same time

[XCIV]

What is that green and orange fighter, bottom right?

[magokiron]

Changos!

How am I supposed to choose from these two MAGNIFICENT entries?

Where's the BOTH button?

Good luck gentlemen, this deserves to be a tie.

[Mr Tough Guy]

What is that green and orange fighter, bottom right?

It's a M3A "Scyk" Interceptor, a Scum fighter from the X-wing game

[D@rth J@ymZ]

Is that Skywarp and Thundercracker disguised as X-Wings? 

[Mr Tough Guy]

Yes, I was gonna call it More than Meets the Eye but you beat me to it 
The Z's are indeed based on Skywarp and Thundercracker, the others are also based on Decepticon schemes, if you're a G1 fan you should be able to recognize them 
(the Y-wing is based on Stunticon,  Breakdown, the Hawk on Predacon,  Divebomb, and the M3a on a Deluxe Insecticon, Venom)

[XCIV]

I didn't catch the Decpticon paint schemes. A great idea, and I lose ten GeekKing points for missing it. But where's Starscream?

[Mr Tough Guy]

I actually had another prepped and ready to go, but after priming it I noticed that they were a bit too liberal with the glue on the wings obscuring the detail, it's not too bad but with a light grey paintscheme it is quite noticeable, so Starscream will have to wait till I buy some more Z's and I will turn this guy into one of the coneheads, probably ramjet as I will want to do some minor conversions on Dirge and Thrust
