Transformers Prime Deluxe Knock Out

I'm almost certain it won't actually be shiny-- the stock photos for AM Bulkhead looked shiny, and when we finally got in-hand pics, he had the same unpainted look as the previous ones.

These pics are helping me link him, yep.

Just got him, and I was glad to find that he was a lot better then he looks in pictures.

He's definitely not perfect, but he's certainly passable (would've loved the yellow rims, though).


One thing I feel the need to bring up, though: why the hell does his bio make him out to be Swindle?

WHOA thank you for posting that! I was about to ask you for a more elaborate tutorial but I figured it out, the grey head/neck plate doesn't really plug into the cyclinder but having it pushed against there and using the tension of the spring against the 2 chest halves does "lock" everything into place. I was having a hell of a time trying to transform this until I figured that out. Thanks!

Wow. I had no idea the chest plate pops out like that until I found this thread (through google, no less). He looks MUCH better now.

it's actually a great figure. nice, accurate enough molding and, though it's hampered by the window kibble, very expressive articulation.

primary flaw is the lack of paint apps, but once you transform it /correctly/ (can't stress this enough), he looks great and is fun to pose or play with!

literally all you need to bring this guy from alright to great is a little experience with sharpies. that's all i used here. no paint. and i haven't even added the yellow yet
(you'll notice i also cut the weird middle electric jolt in his cattle prod. i think it looks better this way)

really, this figure is just really unphotogenic and often mistransformed. don't let the pics fool you, cuz in hand, he's great

Here's a comparison shot for you..

It needs paint tbh and a lot. I'm still working on mine after about a week retweaking things when I thought I was done. Over time those Sharpies will bleed into the plastic and it'll look bad. I'm sure you hadn't planned on selling it or anything anyway but it's gonna stain the shit out of it after it rubs off. Paint markers aren't nearly as bad as Sharpies. The face and stripes are white anyway, just sayin. Get some paint and explore a whole new side of the hobby. Jooooiiiinnn uuuussss. You look like you've got steady enough hands for it. KO is awesome all spiffed up.

thanks for the tips!
yeah, i've only very recently gotten into even daring to alter my figures at all xD
aside from the markers, i only have a handful of tamiya acrylics (getting yellow for knock out!), a silver paint sharpie, and some gundam markers (which i used for the black detailing here). I do have plans for oodles of customs though!

The paint is fine. The maroon is really handsome, and silver is very 90's. Good deco that again gets too much hate from whiny fanboys.
