    Hey guys, posting up another commission. This is a repaint of Prime Dreadwing into Machine Wars Megatron. He still transforms, but its just an aqua colored Dreadwing, the plane mode is where all the magic happened with the gradient effect. If I can find a Megatron head I will post up some bot mode pics.

    I love how the colors look in his jet form. Very nice.

    Hopefully you find a head, I'd love to see his bot form.

    I dunno. The color looks fantastic, but it doesn't really scream "Tyrannical Overlord"

    The colours in jet mode look nice so far. :)  Looking forward to see the robot mode.

    Have you considered doing a Machine Wars Optimus Prime custom as well?

    Have you looked at the renderform megatron heads for that mold from botcon last year?

    Sidecutter at Captured prey actually still has them in stock

    I agree, not my cup of tea but if I recall correctly MW Megs and MW Megaplex were color switched, Megs was supposed to be grey but Hasbro said "meh, not worth redoing the card art".


    The client didn't pay for the head, I will be digging in my parts bin for one.

    The same client wants Beast Hunters Prime into Machine Wars Prime, so yeh he is next.

    Looks great, I know you say it's all in the Jet mode, but I really do want to see him as a robot too.

    Fantastic work on the paint! I think with the original head it looks like a great candidate for a TFP Icestorm type seeker
