Looks intriguing Goki, I'm curious to see what this will end up looking like :cool:; what are you going to do about his head though? - The sculpt seems a little... 'Senior' to be a rambunctious Teenager. ;)

Cyber Progeria? :p

Another idea might be to call him "Sentinel Prime" ;)

[UltraMarginal]

Hey Gok, it's looking good, keep us posted.:cool:
What paints are you using, the colour seems quite rich.

[GoktimusPrime]

I've used Tamiya Acrylic Paint Minis.

Anyway, the vehicle mode's more or less done... just need to touch up the robot mode a bit more before it's ready for presentation. :)

Looks nice in red. Reminds me of Alternator Prime.

[GoktimusPrime]

He does indeed look a lot like Alternators Optimus Prime in vehicle mode, which was coincidental and also kinda makes the mould extra cool as Orion Pax too. :)

Anyway, here are photos of the robot mode:

With gun^load-lifter (unless this is IDW-verse Orion Pax, in which case, yeah, it's a gun^boomstick ;))

Nice that colour scheme really works on the old sarge!

[Hursticon]

I agree with Lint, a job well done Goki as that really does look good ;):cool: - I still have my reservations about the head/face sculpt but it's not like that is something that is easily rectified. :)

[GoktimusPrime]

Well I see this custom as a "Classicsverse upgrade" of G1 Orion Pax, whose face already looks too old for Orion Pax anyway... and it did bug me when I first got this toy, but I've since accepted it.

So as a homage to the Orion Pax toy, who already looks haggard, the old face doesn't bug me so much. I thought it would when I started out doing this repaint, but it doesn't. I guess I've been desensitised by G1 Orion Pax. :p

[kristofferrer]

hey gok - nice work!

[Hursticon]

That's a fair enough reason Goki, as the original E-Hobby version was based off of the Kup mold it does stand to reason - Good to see you enjoying your Holidays doing something you love dude. ;):)

[5FDP]

You've gone into customising :eek:... You've changed.

Seriously... that's an awesome job :)

[UltraMarginal]

Really digging the finished product, nice work Gok.

[loophole]

if hasbro did a repaint in those colours i would buy it!! works really well

[GoktimusPrime]

Thanks guys :)

Wouldnt it be nice if it was painted similar to Gok's version but with a cartoon accurate head... hmmm :p

This is simply awesome...I'd buy one of these if they ever got made.

Don't worry about the head...he's old anyway. Or, paint up his wrinkles and whole face with some whiter silver, just like what the mid-aged women do with thick powder over their wrinkles (don't listen to me).
