Title: The Corruption of Optimus Prime
Post by: Leave a Whisper on November 16, 2017, 04:40:32 PM

 I got Optimus Prime in my Happy Meal when we went to McDonald's earlier this week. Now I'm not an army builder and I already have an Optimus Prime, so I wasn't sure what to do with him at first...

But then I had an idea. You see, I have long wanted a Nemesis Prime for my collection, but he's getting a tad pricey, as TFs tend to do. So why not make my own? And thus, the corruption of Optimus Prime began.

Had to paint his battle mask on.

Added a little more blue then I should of, but I like how it looks.

Not sure if I'm gonna keep his feet black, or paint them gunmetal gray.

He's almost done being evilized and stuff. Just gotta touch up some areas and seal him.

Optimus meets Nemesis. Needless to say, he's not a happy camper.
