I guess you could say it's a "How To" as well because all you really do is Swap parts from Anni Primal with Cybertron Prime(Al). Make sure to match the Black peices and not the dark Brown. It almost looks black but it does show in person and it just makes the whole peice look off.

I then applied the paints and design I chose to the figure. Some paint aps aren't fully done.

Now I chose the Anni Primal head for the robot and colored and high lighted the areas that were blue but chose Cybertron Prime's Gorilla head because it had the overall design setup I wanted with wair line and scar details. I'm a sucker for those. Painted one beast eye silver then used a red gloss to make it look like a glowing red eye. Over the scar eara's eye I wanted it to look like he has an eye lense missing and you can see the optics that were underneith so all black, a sliver dot in the center and an even smaller black dot in the silver.The glossed clear Red. I think it makes his beast stand out.

I then painted the fur black around his main and make a silver dry wash on his chin and thinned it out with a q-tip with a drop of paint thinner on it.

I tink it gives him this old, but well trained Warrior feel.

I loved how his beast mode looked before I finnished his robot mode but after finnishing the Robot mode I think he looks bad-azz.

Simple conversion and you can even apply your own paint techniques but still have a Great Nem. Primal result.

Check it out.

I'm considering using the tan hand peices still...Still not done. Some silver areas will have clear red applied.

Enjoy.

Yes, I love the scar. A few little touches here and there can really change a figure around.

what I would really like to see with this mold is someone tear apart the robot shoulders along the paint line and make them flip up shoulder pads like all the good Primal versions had.
