    Here's Prima.

    The Skyhammer mold works incredibly well Prima, almost suspiciously so if you ask me.

    As of now I'm looking for mold suggestions for Alchemist, Amalgamous, Quintus, Megatronus and Liege Maximo.

    Megatronus could be Prime Megatron

    That might work. I'll put that on the maybe pile for now. Also as a sidenote I'm trying to keep to deluxe and voyager scale figures so the sizes are overall more consistent.

    These are really cool! Though I always saw Micronus being retooled from Prime Ratchet but that might be because of his looks in RiD15.

    Thanks, I'm really glad you like them! As for Micronus I did consider using the Legion Prime Ratchet mold, but I didn't think the vehicle mode was the right fit for him.

    I have been looking into this a bit myself, and I think Alchemist could work from BH Bulkhead.

    Man these are awesome. I never imagine the Skyhammer mold would fit Prima to a tee.

    I know I didn't expect that either, I always saw him as a repaint of either Deluxe Cyclonus or Combiner Wars Cyclonus!

    I noticed the similarities right after Prima's concept art was first released. The design matches up surprisingly well, from the shape of the shoulders, the head sculpt, and even the white parts on the rotor attachment resemble his chest windows.

    Agreed.

    What's your plan for Vector Prime, since he already has an official mold?

    To be honest I don't even know if one of Nexus Prime's parts is a tank or not. Since I don't have access to the Exiles or Exodus novels I'm only going off what the TFWiki says and guessing their vehicle modes.

    I'll most likely use his official toy but recolor it in gold to match his Covenant of Primus design.

    Your work is awesome!! Really like your choice for miconus and prima.
    Would BH Starscream work as Liege Maximo or Predaking as Onyx Prime?
