Ok, after purchasing all the proper materials you suggested, i am happy to infrom you that I have finished Thundercracker! He looks great and transforms just well. The transparent parts came out a bluish teal but it goes with the metallic blue just fine. I'll get a pic for you as soon as I get a hold of a good camera! thanks a ton man!

The arm is broken at the elbow but I can glue it back on...
As for the gun, I had to twist it out of his hand and that's how it broke. Since it's late now, I'll try to get closer pics tomorrow for you.
Actually, I appreciate your help, but don't worry about it. I've got another E-Starscream I can use anyway! XD I just need to find places with the Tamiya Paints. There aren't too many hobby stores around here. But I will most definitely keep you updated on the progress and be sure to post the final results here! Thanks for everything!
And if I have any more questions, I know where to go!

Well, the weapon is beyond repair as you will soon see, but I can fix the arm with that advice....

Ok...I want to repaint Energon Starscream into Thundercracker and Energon Energon starscream into skywarp. I already tried Skywarp and failed miserably due to bad materials. I tried to transform him and his arm broke..... I just have a few questions:
1. What kind of clearcoat would you reccomend for this kind of figure?
2. Is there any way I can make the clear green parts on starscream a clear blue?
3. For reapints of other toys, I normally use FolkArt acrylic paints but for skywarp I switched to Palmer acrylic hoping the results would be better...but they weren't. Are FolkArt paints good for TF repaints?
4. There is no way I can afford an airbrush at this moment. What kind of paintbrushes should I be looking for and specifically what sizes should I use?
5. What's the best kind of primer I could use and how important is it that I use it.
6. After all the painting's said and done, how long should I wait before reassembling him?
That's all really. The colors on Skywarp came out fine but it seems the clear coat is so thick the he can't transform right. I also must stress to all of you
NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER USE TESTORS SPRAY PAINT ON MISSILES AND WEAPONS! IT ABSOULOUTELY SUCKS!
I had the gun in sword mode and it broke when I tried to pull it out (that's how bad it turned out.
And for a clear coat, I used Treasure Crystal Cote. I take it this stuff's no good?
