That would make for a great customising video!

LOL! I might actually grab that clip and add my own (snarky, mostly inaccurate but somewhat funny) translation to the Japanese narration! ...except I haven't the slightest idea how to go about it. :lol:

I put this project on hold for more than a month then forgot to post pics of the next two guys in the set once I'd finished them #-o

There is some fine detail stuff I haven't done due to my shaky hands and the inside of Swindles legs were left unpainted because they will be left in gestalt mode once completed.

Working on Brawl now and he should be finished soon.

Nexus Prime is now (mostly) done! Noticed a few spots that could do with some paint while assembling all five and there is a few touch ups needed when I get the time, but I can now happily add Nexus to my Thirteen shelf

Wow, that looks most excellent

!

I'm really digging that color scheme on that combiner. He looks better than Hasbro's original version and the SDCC version IMO (and almost as good as Takara's

).

real nice.

Im very tempted to do this myself now.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Part of me was worried I'd prefer the original Combaticon colours, but after seeing the end result, I'm glad I did it. Just need to find a better "Nexus Prime" head :-?

Excellent work! You have come up with a great use for these guys and the colors work really well to unify it all.

Finally got around to applying the upgrade kit and (obviously) had to rearrange the limbs to make it work, but I like the outcome, even if Blast Off needs some added paint now. Also gave him a nice shiny new sword

Decided to try out my new action base backgrounds for the photo, going to have to get more of em!
