    Looks badass. Really nice work with the colours, they are a great match for the comic.

    The head is fantastic too.

    Thanks!

    Thanks man, I love the dirty look too! as for the face, I really wanted him to like he's been guarding those Decpticons too long. To me, its funny Fort Max is even the guy for the job because in G1 he was always again War.

    Thanks, I'm not as good as some of these guys with paint, so it takes me forever to commit to a color and placement. Sure some of it is easy placement but without a lot to go on you have to make judgment calls.

    Added some lighter pics to the top.


    Thanks

    Thanks Wallace

    Thanks

    He's sitting my cabinet, wish i thought of it before i took the shots too! Next Time for sure.

    Thanks Chewy

    :) 

    Thanks King, took my time with all the additions.
    Thanks Payton

    I agree, I wanted more. I thought for sure they would give him a Headmaster and Overlord some power masters before the end of the story.
    But i kind of like them with out the gimmick now.


    thanks

    Thanks bud, and better pics are up. If you need details on the build lmk

    thxs

    Me too! and Thanks for checking him out

    thxs

    So are you :p 
    Thanks do much! x2

    Thanks, that was the part that was most important to me. I painted it twice, the first time I didn't feel like he was right. I had to remove all the paint and re work the mouth and chin. Thanks !

    I was very close, even have a metroplex forarm with the hand cut off. But I couldn't find the right hand, sadly the gundam hands wouldn't hold the big gun or the big sword. Maybe the next one.

    dont get me wrong its awesome but that would just be the icing on the cake!hey i made some really cool big ass hands that would be the right size for this from the thumb for masterpiece prime and the fingers from megamorphs the thing,im sure frenzy rumble done the same thing or something similar on his "extiction" and if i remember rightly zildgan made molds of them...like you say next time!

    well done bud

    Well. I have Extinction sitting right next to me and those are Primus hands. Its a weird size this Max, the MP Prime was too small, the Primus were too big..The 1\60 Gundam were a perfect fit, just not strong enough.

    Anyway thanks for the CC..I do appreciate it!
