    Howdy y'all I was just informed by my wife at home that, my tw-02b Orion just got delivered. I am super excited to finally get an IDW looking Optimus Prime. The only thing that I was sad about was that I couldn't win a few auctions on Ebay for the original Orion. So after a tough decision I decided to go with the Orionvil version I found on Big Bad Toy Store. I am thinking about trying to either repaint him in regular OP colors or I was thinking of trying a stealth looking version with a few bits of red and blue thrown in.

    I figured the stealth version looking one would be my best bet since I am not that great at re-painting and this is my first time buying a pricey third party figure. So I need some of y'alls awesome re-painters help into figuring this out. Below I did a few quick mock ups of what I want to try and do. I didnt take these pics of Orionvil, I just took the best looking ones I found on google so i could try and edit them.

    I'm guessing this would go into the fan art area for the time being, but cool idea non the less! If you're like me and aren't the best with total repaints, you could go with the Power Convoy look for optimus prime. Looks very stealth looking, and has been needing some love .pconvoy01.jpg Photo by tidalwav | Photobucket Here is a link to an idea :)

    This thread should've been started un the general creative section. Regardless,that figure is on my to eventually buy list. I like the idea of this but the mock ups you did look a little too busy in the color spread if you ask me. Nothing is impossible though.

    Woops my bad guys, not near my computer at the moment but when I get back to it I will try to figure out how to move this post to the appropriate forum. Also thank you for the power convoy suggestion. I never thought about that one and once i do get back to my comp i will also work on better mock ups and hopefully fix them to be not so busy.

    Awesome! Thank you, I will remember next time to double check the right places to post new things, just got a bit over excited and completely didn't think of it. After I get back home I will begin to work one some more mock ups. Now that I have held him in my hands I have to say I really like the black and definitely want to make this a stealth mode looking Optimus for sure.
