    head is a bit better now that it looks more detailed but still not feeling it. Now it just looks like you threw in a few pieces to the head. Maybe if you paint the pieces it'll look more uniform. Also, it looks like he has a Santa Clause beard, which may be fiting for the holidays I guess.

    I'm sorry but I really really do not think that head works at all for a classics figure man. If anything, a movie toy. It's just way too broken up, angular, alien,, and busy looking to fit in a line full of simplistic, medium-detail blocky-style toys. the rest looks really nice though. :)

    haha. get the original G1 OS head on there, and you're all set.
    Sorry to rain on you, but I am not liking that "countdown" pic - looks like he's in a ballerina pose...

    I actually like the pieces you added to the head. Just needs facial detail to make it more in line with the classic G1 aesthetic.

    The paint looks great, no problems there.

    Honestly, I think that head looks fine, definetly an improvement over the original. However, like others have said, the original OS head wouldn't look bad on their either.

    New head looks a little better, would work nicely for a movie version.

    thanks for the input everyone.

    yea, this head flopped, it was the only thing i had t owork with at the time.

    i'll eventually get something that fits him just right,

    and F_R, you're right, that ballorina picture has to go ;) 

    hope everyone has a great and safe weekend.

    Here he is, finished. He still needs a couple of touch-ups, but he's considered done in my book.

    I'm very happy the way he turned out.

    Thank you all for the criticism and telling me when the heads sucked :)  it pushed me to improve, and now I'm really happy with Omega's head.

    His new head also serves as the engine/motor and a turret in alt. mode.

    He also has a sidekick/co-pilot "LittleWing"

    I hope everyone has a Great & Safe Christmas!

    Awesome stuff thyvipera. I still have the one I did sitting on the computer desk right here. I might do another someday...

    Much better choice on the head.

    Newest head looks cool, a little bit big gaps but definately an improvement.
    Nice repaint of a RobotMasters Saber knockoff over in his shoulder there too.
