    Haha I was thinking of the same, but will do it with the TTMall nemesis prime! It'll be like POTP nemesis prime but with much sleeker arm cannons and matching colorscheme.


    The kind with the 'Aww yiiiiis...' kind of look? I approve of this cat.

    Various Omega Supreme stuff:

    1) Investigating forward hip movement. Backwards hip movement is full 90 degrees. Forward is around 70-75 degrees. Opened up his sexy crotch area and took a look:
    Note: Need #0 phillips screwdriver with a long neck. If tip of your screwdriver is too pointy, then you need to sand it down to avoid stripping the screw head. Unlike Omega's head, there's no glue here.

    crotch1.jpg

    The ratchets are huge and there's nothing "backwards". Right next to the ratchet are huge tabs. I put them in different positions to show the differences when moving the hip joint. When moving the hip joint to either extreme, these tabs will hit a screw shaft to stop. On this view, left side side is hip rotated 90 degrees backward and right side is neutral.

    The opposite crotch view:
    crotch2.jpg

    Right side is on neutral. Left side is trying to rotate forward 90 degrees but the huge tab hits the screw shaft area.

    I'm NOT going to mod this, but if for some reason, you really need forward 90 degree hip motion, you can shave the huge tabs down. I'm assuming there must have been some sort of stability issue and was done on purpose.

    2) Lightpiping effects. The window is on top like Shockwave, so if you have an overhead light, you can make his eyes pop. Unfortunately, because the plastic is yellow, you can't shine a blue light through to get the cartoon blue eye effect. Bright blue LED...will just turn the eyes yellow. However, red or orange LED can tint the eyes orange. I tried to show orange eyes here, but the light was so bright that the camera captured it looking more white than in real life:

    I wanted to mod the head to look like G1 cartoon but it's glued very tight.

    3) Base mode shenanigans:
    Now Optimus Prime is Super Duper Leader Class (slap on extra armor and now he's a true Leader).

    The Legendary Micromaster Autobot Countdown is finally mine once again. Omega Supreme is basically our new Micromaster Rocket base but I do miss the original, I wonder if anyone will try to mod Omega into a more traditional Micromaster Rocket Base 20190914_234522.jpg 20190914_231937.jpg 20190914_231310.jpg 20190914_230939.jpg 20190914_230658.jpg 20190914_230104.jpg 20190914_150348.jpg

    I was thinking yesterday these guys would make good "Generals" for weaponizer armies. Would have to put a con sticker on Zetar though....but it would work.

    Standing out amongst the crowd, Aragon is an unexpected treat. Repaint and slight retool he may be, but just the fact we're getting updated Powerdashers is absolutely mental.
