Star2100 HG Gouf Flight Type.

A ko of the Bandai model they only every sold as an exclusive.

The molding was decent for the price, had a bit of flash I need to trim. The included waterslides are of lower quality than I've experienced before, and I replaced a few pin stripes with cut vinyl.

The Flight Type has a major improvement from the base HG Gouf Custom, the waist power pipes now connect to a mount that attached to the back skirt and not into the back pack. This difference frees up the waist ball joint, which was almost totally immobilized on the Gouf Custom, though the range still isn't that wide.

This one's been a long time coming. I've had the 3 kits necessary for this one lying around for forever, and I finally got around to building it. And I did have more plans for this one? Not the kit specifically, but I wanted to turn the Dilanza and Darilbalde into Beetle Bits akin to what I did for my Aerial Custom, but I couldn't get them to look how I wanted. Main suit turned out great, though.

The Details: There wasn't much when it comes to alterations on this one. All I really did was cut and shape the horns, which does give it a different feel from the original.

For colors, I wanted to go with pink, partly because I like the shade, but also because it felt like it fit Guel, and I do like Guel. Other than that I went with my standard black and gold, with a dash of silver to help break things up since I was relegating the pink to just the right side of the body for aesthetic reasons.

As for general customization, I had 3 of these on hand, so I took the swords from two of them and used them for weapons, and I used the bits from 3 of them for the backpack. The two on the back are the general wing formation for the Schwarzette, but with four of the same orientation of Bits per side. On the hips, I changed up the formation slightly just to have everything line up better.

Overall, this was the last planned custom I had for the stuff from G-Witch, and while it wasn't my most ambitious, it did turn out nice. I have a few other customs planned, all of which have a bit more ambition to them, but I'm missing at least 1 kit for each, so I'll have to wait until I get to those. In the meantime, I guess it's back to straight builds for a bit.

Come get your Energon. Here's a bit of minor world building explaining various types of energon and all that good shit. Starting from the top left.

[-]

Energon(Blood) - The Blood of all Cybertronians, safe to consume. But it is disturbing to most bots, unless you're a cannibal...

Energon(Food)🟦 - Food source, scarce and constantly fought over. When this source was plentiful, it could be used to various treats. But such days are long gone.

Dark Energon 🟪- Dangerous with addictive properties. It's origin unknown, but according to old archives, it was rumored to be connected to Unicron. But there isn't anyone alive to confirm that...

[-]

Red Energon 🟥- Rare and incredibly useful, only recently discovered on Earth. Enhances all senses within anyone who consumes it. While its effects are temporary, the aftermath leaves others in search for it and even kill each other for it. If mixed correctly with regular Energon, it can result into a caffeinated substance.

Synthetic Energon 🟩- Lab-made Energon, made to replace the scarcity of Energon. Lacks any flavor but it gets the job done. Over consumption leads to an unpleasant shift in ones' personality. If poorly made it can result into Tox-En. Immediate disposal is advised.

High-Grade Energon 🟦✨️- The alcohol of Cybertron, the good shit. Cheaper than therapy, comes in a variety of flavors. Everyone can put the beef on hold for this. There is only one place you buy this shit from, and everyone leaves them alone.

Unicron ⬛️🟩🟪- Sibling to Primus & Gaea, was once sealed away, but a doorway has been opened. While he's not happy with WHY he's been summoned, he WILL have fun with messing with the universe and the current prime. Lets hope the new doorway can stay on her hinges.

Rarified Energon 🟧- The blood of Gaea and the very source of life for Cybertronians. From the spark to the shell. It was once protected and heavily regarded. Once upon a time its origins were known. Now, it is believed to be lost. The few that do know aren't too keen revealing, lest another war, or Megatron, destroy it again. It was rumored that taste could be found inside anyone with a spark, but who'd be willing to eat a spark?

Primus ⬜️🟦- The source of Cybertron, or is he Cybertron itself? Either way, they are both long dead, a corpse and graveyard. A shell of what it once was. Somewhere deep down, a faint dim spark flickers in the well. Waiting for life to pour out once more...
