All the G1 cartoon model refs anyone would ever need in one place! AND in colour! The most accurately coloured models online! Product of a long time sampling of Toei's cel-vinyl colours and of painstaking analysis of DVD screengrabs + available scans of animation cels!

So, first off...

-The sheets looking like this showcase final models with final colours and, when available, final transformation charts:


The ones coloured per production colour guides (many of which were unearthed by James Eatock https://twitter.com/cerealgeek) will be marked with an asterisk. Those that aren't may be updated at some point in the future.

-The sheets looking like this showcase reproductions of the, at times very odd, colour schemes that Akom used:


-The sheets looking like this showcase the early colour schemes. Ones coloured per early colour guides are marked with an asterisk:


BTW, if anyone has original colour guides (example: https://imgur.com/VxRwLiW) or pencil art with colour codes ( https://imgur.com/wzWCaLm ), please send scans!

Now lets begin...

I always forget how big the Dinobots are supposed to be.

Nearly done with season 2 models. Anyway, for now, just a quick update to some season 1 models (see changelog)

I knew Sparkplug couldn't be trusted.

[D.M]

All Constructicons have been revised.

[GrungeWerX]

OHHHH, this is JUST what I needed. Is there any chance we'll get Season 3?

[D.M]

Ratchet update. See the change log.

Currently I'm working on TF:TM batch. After that I'll get on season 3.

[D.M]

TF:TM models up online!
BTW, if you're saving these onto your computer - please go through the change log to make certain you're up to date.
 
Next - Season 3. But I'll need some help as material for it has A LOT of holes. Here's the list of stuff I need:


I only need a high rez scan of the line art. So if you have a colour model cel - scan it, convert it to CMYK and extract the black channel.
 
EDIT: And Broadside. I need back view of his robot and vehicle modes.

EDIT 2: Oh, and here are the recently uncovered model sheets that I mentioned in the gallery:






I would've coloured Blitzwing as well but I'm missing some of the colours from that different colour chart.

So did the animators.

Wow these are amazing! Those scale charts are honestly something I'd love to print and frame once they're complete. 

Is there any way these could be put together in a zip to download?

Maybe once the project's finished.
