Customs Authentics Optimus Primal custom

[Blazezard]

You ever get a figure and go "This is so good I just wished it had more colour"? this is how I felt with this thing from the moment I saw it, so I HAD to paint it all over, for reference I tried to paint it as accurately to the animation model and the Eternal Beast Showdown Beast Wars again set to fill out some blanks.

I did get a lot of inspiration by looking at DeftDeutchMan's custom on TFW2005 and A local nerd on Reddit to make my own, and it's one of the rare ocassions when I can say I think improved over the people who gave me inspiration, honestly the figure is fantastic and probably as close as we'll get to a core-class Optimus Primal, here's hoping for more beast warriors or even an Optimal Optimus.

In case you're interested in how the beast mode looks:

Those touchups look great!
I picked up several of these cheap at Aldi after the holidays, with the intention of trying different decos, but you really made the original pop!

I am planning on doing the same, so far I want to do Burning Optimus from the BWII movie and Nemesis Primal from WFC Trilogy.

I want to try an albino deco, based on a Rankin-Bass movie called "The Ivory Ape", with maybe magenta robot accents. Not sure how it will come out, but it would be visually distinct from the original.
