Evil G1 Prime

Okay... Don't think this is Nemesis or Shattered Glass. Just my take on a bad Optimus Prime...

Came out looking pretty good in the end. Looking to buy more unpainted versions of G1 Ultra Magnus. Anyone?

Nice, I like it! Can't say I see many G1 customs so it's a nice change.

What made you decide to paint the head and hands gold?

And there is a G1 Nemesis Prime. Well, he was never named but close enough... in G1 #1 we saw this Decepticon leading the Decepticon boarding party into the Ark:

Personally if I had a G1 Prime junker and felt the urge to make him an evil Prime, I'd paint him these colours. But maybe that's just me. :p ;)

I believe that the colour I used was copper, it is just one of those metalic colours that I feel fits very well with my idea of a decepticon.

Perhaps you should obtain a junker and show everyone your skills..?

You're right - for some reason it looked gold to me at first, but I can see that it's copper. Heh, against that black he looks like "Duracell Prime." :D

If I find a junker Prime at a market/fair and there's nothing else there that I wanna buy, then sure. :)

The silver strips on the forearms and legs are a nice touch and difference, and the stickers complete the custom well.

Love the silver on the legs, and the copper is a nice change in colour, and something that I personally have never seen on a nemesis repaint of any character.

Finally got around to doing this. Probably a work in progress... might need a break before I finish him though.
