Nice! I like it a lot! Question, what do you do to keep your paint from rubbing off when you play with/transform it. I don't have an airbrush kit, so i always hand paint mine, and sometimes i clear coat it with a spray can... but for more complicated figures (like leader prime or voyager mixmaster) I don't know if i wanna repaint them since i like to actually handle my toys and not just leave em on the shelf. Any tips?

All my stuff is hand painted too. I have an airbrush, but it's a cheap one, good for broad coverage only.
Like you, I use rattle-can clear (Testors Dullcote is my preferred), beyond that I just try not to play with them more than necessary.

Beautiful. I like the colour of the mud!

Truth be told, I was originally going for a lighter shade (either Radome Tan or Armor Sand) for the mud, but my bottles of both had dried out! I had to improvise with flat Brown.
