    I didn't do this because that will make Optimus look thigh too long and Calf too short, especially when he bended the knee.

    Little is right. I couldn't tell what had been done until I got to the steps showing it. But that's the best part, it's a mod that improves proportions without looking like mod like those customs where FOC BB looks like a pudgy miget and Optimus' legs look like pulled taffy. Excellent job, bro.

    I take it you stuck your own pin(s) into the grey pieces at the shoulder? I took the back panel off my Prime to expose the grey bar that connects the neck and arms... it seemed pretty bendy for having a pin running through it.

    Make a tutorial in Chinese is easier ,but make a tutorial in English is much harder.

    Please a tutorial! I think you've just made this figure from a mediocre mold to a game accurate fantastic mold!

    I know english would be more difficult, but why not split the difference? Most people here can follow pictorial directions, why not just show each piece, original and modified, and just include simple directions. For example just write "cut" "drill" "glue" etc.. then include more detailed instructions in Chinese? I too like what you've done, and would like a tutorial, and understand whole-heartedly how hard it is to translate into a language that isn't your first.

    Thank you in advance if you do :)

    The shoulders look farther spread apart but were the legs modified too?

    Great mods! We all so desperately want to like this toy. I myself have spent hours trying to figure out how to improve on this guy.
