Hi there. I decided to showcase some of my current repaints in the works.

First up is Leader Prime:
Still need to do a few more things to fix him. Pretty much done.

Old version, but just to give you an idea with his head:

(yes, after I took the pics I relized one smokestack was facing forward. Whoops)

Next up is Previews Soundwave:
Not much other than give him a more G1 deco. My paint store is out of the colours I need to finish him so hopefully I can finish him next week. Not really much to do, just fix up his chest area really.


Megatron is in the works but I figured i'll hold off pics until he's done.

Wheelie:
Very basic repaint. If I can find the perfect hands i'll try to replace his claws. New video online shows fingers not claws.



Last is Fallen:
He's not finished yet, still need to do a bit more work and cleanup on him. Few things about him. The springs in his feet have been disabled so his weight doesn't have to hold him down anymore. I got annoyed posing him and him popping up because of his stupid foot gimmick. For those that don't have Fallen and have no idea what I mean, see Voyager Frozen Megatron. Same issues.
More importantly I fixed Fallens neck, or lack of one. Not only did I give him a ball-jointed neck with full left/right/up/down rotation for his head, I also didn't have to sacrifice his lame Energry Absorbing gimmick either. So why Hasbro didn't do this in the first place? Who knows!
Here are some pics. I'm going to work on him more tomorrow as well as finish up Prime.





Neck joint I made:

WOW. Great job. I have been thinking about painting my Prime's axes like that.

Your Fallen makes me want to get the toy to make it look like that. The Green is just so off putting but you made it gorgeous,

[Valandar]

Somehow you made the Fallen the ultimate Guao'uld host... Totally Egyptian, dude, and utterly awesome!

[Hip-Hoptimus Rime]

Dude, seriously. Those are amazing. I'vve been looking for detailed Leader Primes to use as models for detailing mine, yours is just great.

Would you hapen to have a hi-res version of that Prime pic, I'd love to use it as a wallpaper if you don't mind. Feel free to watermark or ID it as yours. Thx!

Wow, one word - Awesome....
Make me want to paint my prime as well... Good job brother

Hey there JoshC, welcome to the site!

Love the repaints. Awesome job. I'm going to be moving this thread to our Transtopia forums where you can check out other awesome artists' work.

I'll take better pics of certain area's to give you a better idea. I have a spare Movie1 Prime and I might switch ou the hands if I can (for the articulated fingers)
Only issue is sunlight is my friend! My camera sucks otherwise.

Seriously fine work, man...

[Mykltron]

With a ball joint neck added and a paint job, it looks like The Fallen may be worth buying afterall. Nice job on this one - I think he's the best in this collection. Can you please tell me - can his hands rotate at the wrist?

[JoshC_1051]

Yes but it's limited but not bad all things considered.

[FordGT]

Nice work! Amazing what a repaint can do for a figure. The Fallen looks very well done and Prime looks amazing!!!

[Heckfire]

Y'know, now that I've seen your repaint for The Fallen, the actual toy as-is doesn't look half as cool as it used to, dammit...LOL

[Thebrandaman]

Any chance on telling us how you disabled the spring in The Fallens foot. I don`t have him yet but I would like to disable that spring as soon as I get him. Any chance?
