    I almost hate to say that I feel the paint work is overdone on Megatron, since everything else on these customs are so well done. That Prime is just eye-popping.

    GREAT work here :thumb

    Also, I noticed that you did not paint Prime's fake windshield for robot mode or the fake running lights on the sides of it to match how the real ones appear in the truck mode. The entire framework should pretty much be solid blue from what I can see in the alt mode pics. Which, like the shoulders, seems almost like it was done for the explicit purpose so that the cheats in the mould would be more obvious.

    Of course, it's entirely possible that this part just is not done yet and if so, you can ignore the above critiques and continue on with the beautiful paint work.

    The FE Prime mould never looked so good.

    Why couldn't the actual toy have this deco?

    On the subject of the shoulders being inaccurate between modes: Well, this isn't really Prime Optimus, just a redeco of his toy. I don't really see the problem as, well, the top of the cab doesn't make the shoulders, so... I do think the visor in truck mode should be silver. Not just for accuracy between modes, but just to break up the blue. I also think the rear fenders being red would nicely break up the blue in both modes as well as continuing the movie Ops homage. Megatron looks great, and I lov his weathered look in contrast to Prime's gloss. However I think the head is a bit lost in the darkness. Now that may be the backdrop, dark custm against dark wall, but I also feel like his head would look better if it were a brighter silver. Everything else I think is A-okay.

    Great job overall on both. Just great customs that make me wish the actual show characters, who are both so bland, looked like this instead. A wonderful custom duo in concept and practice.

    I was worried that hasbro might copy these... then I relized... these are Awesome! And Hasbro would be stupid NOT to make these they're Great! And another shot at FE Pime is always good.. even without the spikes a straight repaint (with new head an weapon) of magnus into megs would be sweet!
