    After a 2 yr absence from working on customs I took FOC OP and extended the legs from a second OP i bought.

    I added a new head that I got from "HondaSaint14"

    I gave him Prime Bumblebee's guns and Dreadwing's Sword.

    Anyway here he is one of I hope many custom to come, FOC Motor Master.

    C&C at your will...

    That is a great idea for the legs. The custom looks great too.

    As someone who has also done this same thing, you're is vastly superior to mine. That Windcharger head work well, though with a bit of paint might be able to come off as less pleasant. Neek mentioned the idea of painting the chest purple like you did and now seeing it, it totally works. I now regret taking the grill off mine (I was attempting to do something to make it look different from Optimus/Magnus) because I see a silver grill really helps the look. Also I'd say yellow to gold eyes would look better on him.

    I give you the Ryoku Thumbs Up of Self Righteousness!:thumb

    Thanks!

    Well i figured if I was going to make this into Motor Master i had to do something to make him taller, so I bought a second OP and cut away at part of the Legs and glued the 2 sets of legs together.

    At first when you mentioned this I was like what do you mean am I going to paint the face. But then I got to looking at the pics and saw what you ment. In some of the pics his face does still look gray. But I assure you the face is painted a light Purple almost like a cream Purple. I didn't want his face to be as dark as the Purple on his chest and sholders so I took the same Purple and added some white to it to lightin it up. As far as the eyes goes I will try to paint them as soon as i can get out to the store to get some toothpics. Thats the way I usually paint eyes on a custom, maybe i'll go with either a red or a gold/yellow.

    Thanks! :)  I haven't decided weather or not to put him up on Ebay but I see now I will have to do alittle bit more work to him before I decide to or not.

    Continuing the "This mold is great as anyone other than Prime" trend, this is pretty cool.

    The leg extension trick is clever as well!

    Good to have you back!!

    That's perfect. Makes that mold useable. Hated it as tiny Prime but love that you extended his height and made him look like how Motormaster should have if he was in the game.
