    4/4 figures I worked in a commission. This mold, together with WFC O.P. and MP10 O.P. are in my book the best representations of the characters that Has/Tak have ever made. This figure was painted with enamels and acrylics up to the extent the customer wanted, but there was so much more that could have been done on this mold. LEDs were added in chest and head with a small switch accessible through the back. It is still fully transformable. This was a challenge to paint. Specially the soft plastic parts, but I liked a lot the results.

    Some really first-class work you have there, Zipperhead! I really like how clean and "spot on" this looks; you captured Optimus' look from the series perfectly. :thumb up: The metallic colors really make this work, and I just love the subtle shading effect you managed to incorporate into the paint. The weathering on the silver parts, especially the gun, really brings life to this custom.

    I give this 5 out of 5 stars. Really nice work! :)

    That is drop dead gorgeous! The colors are perfect and all the detail work really brings the mold to life! I totally agree about those 3 molds being the best versions of Optimus as well and I think you just proved how great this one is!
