Titans Return Powermaster Optimus Prime repaint + kitbash (WIP)

I liked Titans Return PMOP plenty as-is. But there's room for improvement and I have the itch to tweak things. And so on-off I've been customizing mine. There are two main things I've been doing: Repainting the trailer (which is pretty much done), and turning the cab into a poor man's PC-16 (which isn't, but it's getting closer).

Trailer progress:

Future goals include:
* Rifles replicating the ones on LG-35 Super Ginrai or otherwise being Titans Return-style versions of the 1988 toy's rifles
* A new chest shield with a possibly-detachable faux-engine that can hold Prime Masters
* Godbomber compatibility because I'm crazy like that.

Is there a secret to getting the shoulders to split? I've never figured out how to get them apart.

You have to heat the pins that hold the shoulders in the sockets with a soldering iron, and pull the shoulders off while the heat temporarily softens the plastic. Once the shoulders are free of the sockets you should be able to pry them apart.
