The Energon Pub

i did this awhile back and am finally getting around to posting it. i put silver behind all clear pieces and added silver to about 95% of all the grey plastic, and redid the face in sliver, black, and metallic purple. also added silver to the 4 horns, and metallic purple to the shoulders. hope ya'll like it. it was easy to do and makes a world of difference.

Wow, I'm surprised how far a little paint goes. Love the look, and it's rock if you had time to repaint him in metallic burnt orange. Anyhoo, nice one.

damn, good idea! now where could i find a metallic orange in that color in a spray can? i dont have an airbrush. i do have plans to put sme more details on it like on the shins and inner chest. i also thought about using the primus pack in unicron head in place of his original head.
i will do this when i finish up some commissions i have goin. anyway it looks pretty good. Z

Testors offer a metallic spray paint /laquer thar comes only in metallics. Orange is easy to find, I'll give a link if you're interested. Plus, they are certified by AMC, Ford, and GM.
Yes, they can be used on cars.

They are fairly new, so the correct orange I saw may not be listed for a bit.

The Unicron head in the Primus pack is bigger than the normal head.

Thats superb work! I wish i had one of these babies but they are so hard to find.

The purple on his face looks a little 'in your face' for lack of a better phrase, but the silver adds a whole new menace to him. Well done. But why didn't you do his right hand as well as his left?

Probably so it'sd still light up.

the reason for not doing the clear hand is b/c of the light up feature and also b/c it sort of has a chrome characteristic w/ the reflections and bent colors coming thru. i could put a light coat over it like i did my leader brawls clear parts. the lights still shine thru the silver on him. i may just do that. i wasnt going to put a purple "mustache" on him, but it really needed something other than all silver. but i'm happy w/ it. i guess thats all that counts.
