Finished up a new one... Optimus Prime in Protoform! This was a real stinker of a figure to start with... well, sort of. Cool figure, but bad factory paint, and kinda goofy transformation (the comet looks a little cartoony, not like in the movie.)
I saw the diamond in the rough though with the robot... so I gave him the "fill in the gaps" treatment, filling and sculpting and then sanding all the screw holes, so he was more complete and neat. Then I did multiple layers of paint on him... base coat of a metallic black, then drybrushed layers of Oily Steel then a custom mixed metallic light blue (very subtle.) I think he came out looking a lot more organic and protoform-ish.
While technically, he still transforms... I don't know why you'd ever want to... the robot form is much cooler...
Such a nice posable robot... kinda reminds me of an organic, metallic Gundam figure this way. What do you think?
Another wonderful masterpiece.
Makes him look more complex then he really is, and so much more movie accurate. The copper/gold apps really spice up that meatball.
Or more appropriatly "Spaceterd".

Thank you very much everyone! I appreciate the positive feedback. Now I can't find anymore of him... just Starscream Protoforms warming the pegs everywhere...
