And possibly for the exclusive Black Rodimus.

I for one can't wait to see the finished project. Is there any tentative release date?
Yeah but what I mean is that the painted armor (done good or not) can be it's own unique pattern since much of the flames of the base figure are covered, specially the hood which is the focus of it.

You can see here that much of the base figure's flame art is covered and what is exposed is not part of a flowing pattern so it can be anything.
