Splitting the head was not easy.



Righting the wrong (oooh, shots fired!  )was well worth it.



MAKE. MINE. MARVEL.



I think I smooshed his forehead slightly.. ah well.

 

How did you do t?!

That's perfect and going to do this asap!

 

You can try the missles from Prime First Edition deluxe and Prime RID voyager Starscreams. Forgot if they have 5mm pegs

 

ER Grapple and with United Grapple with Reprolabels.

 

You did a great job on this. The yellow eyes look SO much better. I'm getting tempted to try this myself. Would you mind if I asked what kind of yellow paint you used?

 

Cheers! Gently does it. The head is well glued together.

I used steam to warm up the glue and a tiny flathead screwdriver to gently prise apart the head. I started on the underside, moved to the gaps created near his antennae, then worked on the top of the head as the gap got bigger. Repeated the cycle around the same areas with each time I steamed the head. Took about six lots of steam and gentle prying apart.

For the eyes it's just from a tube of acrylic paint, lemon yellow. And I cleaned out some of the glue in the hole that the top of the head pegs into before slotting it back together.

(Also.. you could always just swap out the head with the Leader Class Galaxy Upgrade core robot - I did this with the Siege Voyager and tried it on this guy to check, ta da..!



- but the range of motion is a little hindered and I can't speak for the transformation being unaffected.)

 

"WHEELJACK! TOO MUCH RECOIL! TOO MUCH!"

 

A typical night for Optimus Prime after work...

 

I absolutely adore Hoist and Ironworks.

 

Just got my hands on Prime. Holy shit.

There's no way he would have been 30$ just without the trailer. At a voyager price point, he'd be missing the articulated hands, the matrix of leadership and paint apps.

 

Anyone know how this trailer would size with earthrise or siege of prime?

His own version of the Noisy Cricket.

 

Well in the promo shots, it has CW Motormaster. How does either wfc prime scale next to motormaster in alt mode?

 

No idea   I don’t have either of those in a state where I can accurately compare anymore

 

It's 33cm long when ER's is approx. 18cm.

That's 15cm longer, so almost double in length.

So if it's similar to the rest of the measurements of another similar trailer (that has measurements provided, at 28cm long)*: it's going to be 11+cm high (with wheels) (ER is 8cm) and at least 8+cm wide (ER is 6cm).

That's a huge difference, almost double in length and at least 30% more in height and width.

I would consider a trailer that would be perfect for ER/Siege OP, should have been 9cm high, 6.5-7cm wide, and 20-21cm long.

 

I'm not sure what the fuck they're up to, but at least they're not standing in a row shooting purple and orange lasers at each other until I buy another one.

Ironworks is the new LEGO.
