    Howdy Y'all!

    This was something I was really excited to try and make. I bought a TW-02b Orion when I saw he was available. I had originally planned on repainting him all the way in Optimus Prime colors but was pretty nervous since this was my first time using model spray paints. I then got an idea just to add a bit of red and blue on him and boom I made what I like to call Stealth OPS Prime. I then ordered the Orion reprolabels set and bought an Orion head on shapeways from 3dprintron. There were few areas I think I messed up on but I think it turned out okay and he looks great next to CW Megatron.

    Well I hope y'all like!

    Thank you! I did like the head Orion came with but i wanted to see if there were other options. As soon as i saw tgis head on shapeways i just knew i had to have it and to me it looks the most accurate to his IDW head.
