Ok. So for my 3rd anniversary of customizing, I thought I would do something big. So here it is. My Cybertron Primus 3.0. I tried some of the stuff I did for the last one I made for a commission http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/307672-battle-damaged-cybertron-primus.html and also gave him a different paint job based on some art work I found. He is my favorite one to date.

Gave him a semi flat black base coat, dry brushed steel and aluminum, gray, blue and shades of red. Added some copper and yellow highlights with some reds and a little blue.

 

details are nice.

 

I like the bot colors very much.

 

I really like this! Also, happy anniversary   Now I feel old  

 

love primus saw one for sale for £5 yesterday id get it but its pick up only and i cant get to it so annoyed

 

Very impressive! I love how the detail gives the figure a sense of scale, especially on the bot mode.
Can't wait to get my Takara version later in the year.

 

You gonna customize it?  

Thanks for the comments.

 

Happy Anniversary, Man.
You are amazing when it comes to repainting Primus's.

 

It has that Don Figueroa artwork type vibe to it. I like it.

 

Looks good man. Happy 3rd   The only thing I would do different is add more red in the chest where the circle is in the center and go down to the first cross piece. I hope this makes sense because I know what I mean,

 

Really cool. Well done sir well done

 

Love it! personally not crazy about the red on the chest, but thats just my personal preferance, i wish i had the balls to customize my primus...i love the silver in planet mode...good job!

 

Excellent work! This looks great, and I can imagine how long it took. Your version is finally respectable in my eyes   I was really excited about this guy back when he came out, but something just never seemed "realistic" or legit about him.

I think it was a combination of the colors they chose, and also the REQUIREMENT of the stupid planet keys/gimmicks. I wonder if anyone ever modded him to where the keys wouldn't be required....it's a plan I have someday.

 

I just use my finger for the leg parts and a pen for the chest. Stupid gimmick.

 

I added the pic I used for reference.

 

Yep thats the one. Love that artwork. If I had time to do a repaint of Primus these colors would do justice for him. But thats my opinion.

 

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww man......................3.0!!! It looks a lot better, not to say 2.0 is bad. I really like the colors.

 

I liked the things I did with the 2.0 and tried it with this. Minus the battle damage.

 

i think this is the nicest custom you done to date Solrac..very nice.. 

 

I'm assuming that you did but I have to ask... Did you disassemble him before painting? I took mine apart about 90% tonight to disable the gimmicks... wow, what a pain! I don't need the planet key thing anymore though
