    Well, that was unexpected.
    It looks great, though! :thumb

    Animation could use a few more frames to lessen the choppiness to be honest. However I know how long a proper Animation takes as I've made several (Never liked any enough to show off though. :( )

    I want to like this, I do but there are some flaws I just can't see past like the open roof, front end gaps and odd panel matching. The paint doesn't help either. That aside, I like the idea and I can definately get behind the amount of work you put forth.

    Good call on the roof, that's been bugging me too.
    Front end gaps/panel matching I'm afraid I'm at the limit of what I can do
    until I can think of something else.

    As far as the paint goes --- he's not done yet. not even close.
    I just threw some on there to get an idea of how it will be.

    An ambitious use of found parts. He has a crazed, Mad Max feel to him that's a lot of fun. I'd like to see some wheels on those legs though.

    Great idea! Reminds me of what Energon / Superlink Prime SHOULD have been. Instead of Santa Prime...

    Keep those customs rollin!

    Started some final paint tonight with Testors blue and red. NOT DONE YET :) 
    Also got my RTS mini Prime in the mail today, thanks mykticon!

    Also gave him a bigger mofo gun, built from a GI Joe Rise of Cobra spring loaded missile launcher. (Going to use the smaller blaster for my voyager sized Prime!)

    EDIT: Also added a shot w/ my Ultra Magnus custom, per request.
