Wow, it looks pretty good :)!

I may get this for my Hasbro FE Prime that way I can have one with a mouth and my Takara FE Prime with the faceplate.

I see that it's for the FE and I wonder if it will fit the RID mold as well. You know, since a lot folks were unable the get the FE version. I like the idea here. I simply can't pay good money to this guy (these guys?). The quality just is not there. The paint always looks rough too. Again, I like the idea here. I don't want to always sound so down on these.

If it's anything like the Wheeljack upgrade set, it's a resin-type material, it's a bit better than the stuff you'd get in hobbyshops, although I was mainly after that sets' grenade, and I have to keep glueing the little clip that holds it to Wheeljacks hip now and again, as there isn't much 'give' to it, but I want to be able to transform him.

The matt finish on the face seems to be the same, I ended up using Dr Wu's Wheeljack head on my modded Dialone PRID Wheeljack (I always buy 2 Wheeljacks, as I end up trying to make a Diaclone Marlboor version as well)

if this were available for PRID Prime, I'd be in, I think it would suit that better, plus, it'd be nice to differentiate between that and my Takara FE, but I wouldn't put it on my FE, as I prefer my Primes with a proper battlemask....

I'm actually not a big fan of the "mouthed" OP. I prefer his faceplate a lot more.

Courtesy of the Meteor Operation facebook page we get a look at Dr. Wu's upcoming DW-TP06 SAGE, an open faceplate head for Transformers: Prime Voyager Optimus Prime. The images show the head installed on the First Edition version, compatibility with the RID version is unknown at this point. Images mirrored below.

That looks horrid. Rough, uneven sculpt & paint to match. Pass

Good idea, bad exicution. Falls just a tad short of the mark. Its so close to being good too. so close.

Paint apps? Terrible.
Eyes? Derpy Pls.
Sculpt? Fantastic.

What a mixed bag. What a shame.

Always thought OP looked wrong with that badly designed mouth in the cartoon. This takes something ugly and somehow manages to make it worse...
