Here's a few comparison shots, as well as a scan of Cybertronian Optimus from The Transformers Ultimate Guide.

NOTE: Don't forget to check out Parts 1 & 2

I like it very much. Is it finished or are you going to add any more details? Just curious. Nice work.

Yes, I am planning to paint the molded details on his wrist to be somewhat like those on Optimus. (You can't see the decals because of the flash) I also need to hand paint the orange connection area of the cannon to the trailer, because I was unable to disassemble that part without destroying it. Glad you like it.

cant wait to see it with the details added in.

Great idea! I'm actually surprised at how good he looks in those colors. Would you consider removing the spoiler from Orion's back? It would make him less Rod-ish.

that's a great idea, nice work.. are you going to put any new stickers on him?

Sorry, it's been a while since I've posted about my G1 Orion Pax. Here's a comparison shot with Orion's wrists detailed as well as the silver details on his knees. I still don't know what to do about the waist area. I'm also comptemplating the idea of working out some sort of ram bars on the front end (like the Cybertronian Optimus) so that he can still transform correctly. If anyone has suggestions for waist details or labeling, please feel free to submit. You can also check out my TF collection in Yahoo Groups at:

Lookin' good. I'd second the fin removal, and maybe shrink the exhuat pipes. As for labels, I'd need screen caps, I'll check it out.

Looks good!

Did you use an original Rodimus for it?

by **Corsitron** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 6:02 am

Yes, it was a G1 plastic wheel Rodimus. The only decal that was left was the flames on the hood (I was able to save it). I also masked off the rub sign. Here's what it looked like before I got started repainting:
