Because I knew we were getting Huffer from this mold, I got to work making a Pipes out of the Nemesis Prime version. I didn't trust Hasbro to make their own. Keep in mind this is still a rough WIP...

So basically, it needs the arms popped off at the elbow and swapped for transformation, but the overall effect works well enough, and really reduces the 'Optimusness' of the figure. I like the underslung weapons on his arms to help sell the 'Pipes' traits. Still possibly a little too heroic for my liking. But I think the same should work for Huffer (I even have two more similar guns ready to go). This should also really bring out the blue/purple and reduce the excessive orange. Would be nice if I could find away to attach the distinctive backpack for each of them.
