This is a project for the fans of the original US comic. Seen only in issue #61 (primal scream) depicting the first transformer rising from the flesh of primus, the first prime meaning the first to hold the matrix of leadership. PRIMA is his name. This was a complete scratch build and the figure is very articulate as it has ball jointed shoulders and elbows, ratchet jointed thighs, knees and feet and a rotating head. He doesn't transform as he was never seen doing so and perhaps couldn't as transformers had to learn how to transform or so its said in beast machines anyways. As far as I know no one has done this character before so I'm hoping to of come up with a 1 of a kind original fig
included pics are the 2 panels in which we see prima emerging from the surface of primus a.k.a. cybertron and showing off his fancy matrix lol.
hope u like
here's my latest project, I took an animated soundwave and repainted and modded him to look like perceptor in the transwarped episode. hope you guys like. p.s. need more grey paint for his hands.

@Noble: looks great! are you going to detail all your movie figs?
Hopefully I will do some more, I actually did some more work on my chromia figure and added the stand into the robot mode to make a sort of battle mode:

Great job! Grimmy looks much more fitting as a Land Cruiser than as a pony car Can we see more pics?
Noble: Looks good! did you modify the cannons to get them on her?
There are two bars that connect the sides of the stand together, I unscrewed and removed the front one and thats it, you just attach the stand upside down and you have a new mode ! this mod makes her body a little more substantial and a little more mechanical looking which is what she needed imo.
This figure has quite a lot of detail and I've added to it by painting in details like the chevy badges, gas cap, the camaro side badges and the license plate. In robot mode I added some panel lining to the head and some light shading to the knees and shins, also used a mixture of washes and drybrushing for a metal effect on the robot parts, the last thing was the part that I thought made the figure look goofy, the eyes they just look weird... so I painted them silver then a clear blue and left the pupils darker so the eyes didn't look like a blank stare lol. hope you like
Rattrap wrote:Nice custom Noble. How long did all that painting take you?
not too long, the drybrushing is basically fine as soon as it's applied, car details took a bit of concentrating tho lol, it was waiting for the washes to dry that added time to the work so it took 2 full days
