    I’ve always wanted to use dye. I tried one time and it flopped.

    looking forward to delta.

    It's been hit or miss with me. Usually fists and elbows are made of a different type of plastic than the rest of the figure and they take dyes better.

    Got some gold

    Planning on having Kingdom UM (I call it "City Commander armor") on the traditional movie character shelf and having Siege UM (calling it "Fortress Defender armor") for his final battle with Sixshot on the Headmasters shelf.

    I like that red thigh in Alt mode. Looks like it belongs.

    As much as DM is cool swing this stripped makes me want to see a new color scheme of armor. You creative choices with the bit were great so I know you’d make an awesome armor too.

    Im thinking gray, white, some red. And yellow accents with occasional black would be sweet. I need a coloring sheet!

    I'm liking where you're going with this. I'm thinking Grandus inspired armor-- Grand Magnus. Black where there's blue, white chest, and yellow accents.

    I was too chicken to do it before, but seeing the red thighs on your Magnus inspired me! Great work.

    I modified the shoulders because i wanted a different set of armor... now i don't know if i want Grandus armor or Hyperdrive armor

    Thoughts or suggestions? I can modify the head and use the inner bot face mask on the outer bot... Hyperdrive never had any official colors besides green. Maybe green armor?

    I always thought that last pic was an OP. I’ve bought the few books. I must have missed that pic some how.

    If you do Hyperdrive, you might consider switching the vehicle’s front-to-back orientation and fabricating a new truck front for the legs.
