    I think the idea of Beast Wars characters with vehicle alt modes is cool. There's the Botcon set, but I think it's too expensive and the molds used are not so great. So I thought of making some of my own. Here's my first... PRIMAL BREAKDOWN.

    Body is from AM Silas Breakdown
    Head is from RM Beast Convoy

    Just a simple head swap, and some paint and sticker detailing.

    The repainted chest turned out to be a dust magnet, I could not keep the dust off, sorry about that.

    And a bit of a bonus at the end...

    Thanks guys! I'm working on Terrorsaur and Blackarachnia next.

    The matrix is from a KO of the Fansproject add-on kit for Alternators Optimus.

    I can't believe how well this works. Really cool custom, but I'm just so blown away at how well the Silas Breakdown mold works for Optimus Primal.

    I like this so much, that it makes me forget how jealous I am that you have extras to customize of a figure whose existence I had written off as an urban legend.
    Really nice work.

    Thanks guys!

    Arms Micron figures are starting to get cheaper with the end of the show...

    Except for the regular Breakdown, which is still expensive.
