    I'll just use HftD Breacher until a proper Roller is released.

    And i'm guessing he be the size of smaller deluxes like Cliffjumper and would come with some extra accessories. Though, kinda unsure which ones to go with.

    How will you make the biceps red? I looked at pics and videos and there is a pin back of shoulder holding it together by the looks and maybe other pins, screws would be easy but pins like these are extremely difficult to remove without causing damage if they can be removed at all, although there could be method I'm not aware of as I'm not a well trained customizer

    If I can't take it apart, it'll be a case of being very gentle. The paint I've been using (Tamiya) is very liquid but quite opaque, so it transfers well on the plastic and dries within minutes, I absolutely love it compare to other paints I've used before. So I'd do one section that is exposed by how the arm is positioned, let it dry overnight, then bend or move the arm to expose the next section and paint it like this, in increments.

    To all of you already having your Earthrise Prime, thank you so much for sharing some pics! I have one question: how much range is there on Prime's waist? Can you move his wheel kibble out of the way to accommodate it?

    Thank you so much for the info! Kinda wish it could just move out of the way a bit, but the figure still looks pretty sweet.

    So with the piece in place you don't get much waist movement 20191129_124855.jpg 20191129_124919.jpg now taking it off gives you complete 360 movement. Personally I would not pop off often as stress marks will happen. This thin piece is the front wheels of the truck cab.

    Thank you very much for sharing! I think I will leave it in place, the waist articulations seems good enough with it on.

    Now I just need to decide on a Roller. I have the thrilling 30, G1, BTS 3rd party Command Center, or I purchase a Siege Cog to choose from. Anybody got any suggestions :) ?
