    Would be neat to see someone do the yellow Long Haul seen in the game.
    I can see what you mean about the swords, although they are nice big swords. I assume flame-throwers or cannons are what you're working on, but if you'd rather not spoil the secret yet, that's cool.
    How hard was it to take Long Haul apart? (if you took him apart that is) I'm considering doing my own take on him.

    I'm curious, what are the greens you used by chance?? This looks amazing, and I'd really like to do this to mine when I get it. Thanks!!

    I've gone back & forth on whether to get this toy many times and had been put off by the somewhat skinny proportions of the robot mode compared to the bulky looking CGI model and concept art but seeing how good it can look once repainted has finally sold me on it. Great work!

    I'm curious, how easy are wheels to remove? Looking at this now, I feel like the only thing (thats changeable) thats holding this mold back is how freaking thick the wheels are.

    Wheels are not that terrible if you have a soldering iron. The wheel removal tut here is very good at showing how to get them off.
    I did put this version up for auction. I have a second version that I am working on that is turning out much better! I am shooting pics for a tutorial as I go that will show you all how to do: the wheel assembly mod, add a balljoint for his neck, and add wrist rotation!
