    I played with the positioning on the wing, but with the existing fins and spoiler, that was the only place to put it.

    This can totally work. Also think the mold would work well for Optimus Minor pre beastwars

    did a little more work on this figure last night, added some arm blasters/exhaust pipes courtesy of my TFP bumblebee and a couple of gundam parts. they fully rotate for transformation.

    if you used Clocker exhausts, you wouldn't need to add the pegs

    EDIT: The bb canons you used do work better for the prime aesthetic tho

    Tried clockers exhaust, way too big for the arms and the curvature of the ground effects get in the way of rotation.

    Morning!, I did some painting (had to brush it as my brand new airbrush went tango uniform on me)so there is gonna be ALLOT of touch up and clean up going on, but I thought I would post the pics anyway :) 

    The head as I figured, fits much better with the figure after painting it :)  and he looks allot more "rodimus-y" lol I had to permanently fix the guns but I did a test trans and it doesn't look that bad facing front. I used reprolables for the flamejob on the hood/legs.

    I will post the Alt mode after the paint sets fully and i get off work.

    And yes I know my painting skills suck lol
