    This is a Beast Hunter Voyager Optimus Prime custom I did a while back. I borrowed the idea of the G1-esque blue on his wings from Cheetimus. I also added silver detailing throughout, to get rid of all that bland-unpainted-gray that Hasbro is so fond of. And I painted the missiles green so they look like they go with the green tinted windows better.

    (And you can't see this, but I added pennies to the inside of his legs to give him more heft.)

    I'm selling him off! I've had him for a while, and I'm ready to send him to another home. He's in my junkion exchange thread for $45 plus shipping! PM if you're interested.

    Nice. Have you considered using clear blue paint for his windows and weapons, etc?

    I hadn't. I didn't know how clear blue would work out, whether it'd come out blue or just mix with the green to be aqua.

    What exactly did you use the pennys for? And where are they? I don't really understand what they are needed for. The figure it self does look amazing though

    They're used to give the bottom half weight inside of the legs so no top half weight tilt happens.

    Yup, this. Also just to make him feel more substantial overall. There are YouTube tutorials on how to do it. I think it was misterfanwank.
