Some quick thoughts on this year's custom class figure which I've had a fun day making.

- Build process - this one actually did not take too long to build, but the pins were a bit of a pain, especially the ones on the chest / head cover and the gorilla head. But not as bad as, say, the build for Longarm / Shockwave the other year.

- Finished product - VERY nice and striking in hand. He's red and white, with clear red parts mixed in with solid ones. Gives him a nice sparkle.

- Paints - lots of painting one this one! In particular the entire lower legs need to be painted with Insignia Blue. The chest is done with airbrushed aluminium and looks really nice. The rest of the colors used are gunmetal, flat black, gloss green, medium grey and off white.


I'm very happy with this figure. He's got a really nice and striking look and really looks good on the mold. I'm very happy to have spent the day making and painting him

The "I like bananas" sticker makes this an instant buy

 

Nice work! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

 

I love those stickers he comes with.  

 

Definitely buying this!

 

Never been a fan the mold, its always been my least favorite Primal, but the colors work really well for it. The ape mode in particular looks a lot better as a mechanical gorilla.

 

Looks awesome. Would buy but, finances aside right now, I never seem to be able to find the customizing class figs I really want (Thunderclash, Nightbeat).

 

Wreck and Rule! But first i want a banana I LOVE BANANAS!

 

are some of those stickers taken from TFWiki?

 

I'm totally into this Crystal Coconut.

 

Only if you forget that G1 Prime's trailer had that.

 

wonderful work, Sol! Loving the finished product, especially the nice blue used. But I wish it weren't a custom class fig as it would cost me an arm and both my kidneys to get one in the after-market.  

 

I was born when the franchise was 10 years old. Never saw an actual G1 toy in my life.

... why did you send me a friend request?

 

Tfwiki?! Ha ha, oh you youngsters crack me up. Thinking a wiki comes before theres something to make a wiki about...

 

I really want to see how Apelinq turns out, but I might instead deco this into "Hyperlinq" instead.

 

As was mentioned in the other thread, this would also make a pretty nice Burning Convoy.

 

...Is it better or worse that "I like bananas" is written in what appears to be Comic sans?

 

Definitely better.

Usually that means he wants you on their friend list. Although now this thread has a totally awkward situation.

 

i wonder why he's transparent...

 

Is this year's customizing class figure available for purchase separate from the class like last year's?
