Had some time off work so thought I'd use some spare bits and pieces lying around to customise my Henkei Prime! Here's some pics - enjoy!

Prime with the standard eyes - the light-piping has been painted over at this point.
Reminds me of the movie when Prime dies and light in his eyes go out.

Here's a couple with the LED switched on - I know its probably supposed to be blue, but I only had green LED's in my toolbox and I think it still makes for a good effect.

Prime still transforms too - there's 2 wires coming out just under the back of his head that makes clearance a minor problem, although its not really noticeable.

Here's one with Prime fully transformed attached to the G3 trailer by Fansproject

Thank you!

The switch is located in the right knee (it switches on when the knee armour is flipped up into position) and the batteries are hidden in the right leg - there was *just* enough space to squeeze in 2 button cells

Thanks!

Unfortunately after drilling out the eye piece to allow for the LED, the subsequent gap was filled in with putty so I couldn't change it even if I wanted to.
