    I'm not an Optimus Prime fan but your figure looks great. Plenty repaint potential:
    Nemesis
    Ultra Magnus
    Fireguts Ginrai
    Toxitron
    Delta Magnus
    And retool the head for G1 Overload.

    Excellent work!!

    Been slow at my business today, so I got this designed and altered the fist to hold it. Hoping to get a print done tonight.

    I used a 0.2mm. I tried with a .4 and couldn't get the detail I wanted. Would like to try these on a resin printer.

    The cityformers have always needed these to be available. Never felt right only to have random bots you never heard of, being scaleish next to them. Love this.

    Though, on the topic of scale, Optimus feels a bit TOO tiny. Weird seeing him the same height as a group of cars. Any complications you can think of if he was scaled up 10-20%?

    I did have him a bit taller but scaled him down a bit to interact better with the old micromaster sets and stuff like the rocket hatch on titan class Omega Supreme. You can certainly scale him up, but the bigger you go, the lack of details that come from making him this small are gonna show. If I ever get time, I want to print him up legends scale.
