    I hear you on it being too cold to paint. The most frustrating part of this season is the wait, but it does give us lots of tinker time. When do we get a peak of that Lightspeed?
    Looking great so far.

    Update! :D  Computron test fitting. He's still not finished yet. I'm just making sure everything fits together before final assembly. Sorry no dynamic poses as he will fall apart due to most of the connection ports aren't installed yet. I hope you all like.

    AM, if you keep dabbling in mediocrity I may have to stop looking at your posts......

    and by that I mean this is astonishing. You're like a combiner wizard. Any chance we could get a small video of how they combine/detach?

    As long as Hasbro keeps reissuing the Unicron mold...then we shouldn't have to worry about mint Unicrons in the secondary market.

    :lol 


    That's a mighty fine looking powerful Computron.

    Thank you all for the very kind words and comments. :)  I'll be making a video and post a full description of everything used in the project. I still have a bunch of stuff to finish up before Computron is finished. I only used spray black primer. All bots and Computron were painted all by hand.

    Wow. That's really epic bro. I like his proportions and especially how his chest ties it all together so that you can easily recognize the G1 character he's based off of. I find that lacking in the various 3P and CW remakes; they get the colors more or less correct but the figures don't look like Computron.

    It seems almost silly to offer suggestions on a masterpiece like this but, if anything, I'd propose maybe having a few of his chest panels painted with patterned rows of light and dark squares; reflecting the blinking light boards Computron had on his chest whenever he did some heavy data crunching in the G1 cartoon. No problem if you want to skip that though; just an idea.

    I was thinking of adding to computer panels. Either painting them or getting a set of decals from Reprolables. That will be one of the final details added. Also I need a rifle for him. Not sure on whether to find one or make one.
