    Inspired by the recent retool of AOE Optimus from Takara Tomy, I wanted to see what TT would have done with the Weaponizer Optimus mold had they done their usual premium job on it.

    The hands are swappable with screen accurate weapons, both of which use 5mm pegs. The biggest changes to the mold however are the legs. Instead of the innacurate wheel placement they now move to the back of the calves, NO parts swapping. The heels also now fold down in alt-mode rather than stick up. A hitch is being added because of this.

    The weaponizer gimmick was gutted to allow the weapons/hands to store in the backpack. I honestly don't mind the backpack which looks less cumbersome now thanks to the added mass in the calves.

    It looks really good. I'd loved to see more pictures - from the back and sides, and in alt mode.

    Slow going on the weathering and details but getting there. So much I'll do differently on ver 1.5.

    Nice, where are the weapons from?

    Edit: Can you list the paints you used? I struggle to find good, non-silver/gunmetal, metallic paints
