    Sure I kinda had to guess with the robot mode but I took tons of cues from what we've seen in trailers and posters.

    Would it have been so hard to get this colour scheme?

    As a newbie, what is your technique? Do you have to dismantle the figure and sand joints like people say?

    Best one I've seen yet, the Green really seals the deal. Now all I need is one of these in titan class and I'll be happy

    Great work! I really don't know what Hasbro has been smoking over there. Why the wonky color choices with the Dinobots is beyond me. They love grey so much and they couldn't have made Grimlock in his movie colors?

    I would lose so much money on toys if you were in charge of paint apps and layout as Hasbro.

    Ooh, that subtle green patina is really nice. Sweet job as always, Cheetimus.

    It will be interesting to see how Grimlock's robot mode turns out in the film. It'll be a bit rubbish if he does wind up grey-all-over that mode too.

    This is what I haven't seen yet, and exactly what I planned to do when I get one!!
    Looks perfect, and the bot mode guess is great whether it ends up being close or not.

    Cheetimus, you have slowly, surely been becoming the king of the radicons world. This thing is beautiful! Are those evil-looking bags under his eyes in dino mode?
    The whole thing looks so good; all the right subtle touches here and there to break up the gray.

    Thanks for all the kind words, guys!
    Yes, taking it apart as much as you can helps a ton!

    I'm honestly flattered by such a statement but I know it's not true. I may have worked to hone my skills but there is always someone better than the next at any one thing.
