heh, flattery will get you everywhere.
BTW im always open to commissions if you are ever interested, let me know. And dont worry, im not some snob that charges 500+ for a simple repaint either, im very reasonable.

Awesome job, especially fading the red / orange on his arms and the little gold details on his legs 
Waitaminute... I just realised he isn't the bigger Leader Class figure!

Nope, voyager class mate. Leader class wouldnt look this cool due to its bulky-ness (still my fave version in the movie line though).
Glad you like it.

Leader is my favourite too, but I see what you mean about him being too bulky
Who's hands are those?

Alt Sideswipe...i bought them from someone who had a junker so dont worry, no mint alt toys were harmed during the making of this custom.

The toys I feel sorriest for are the ones kept in their boxes stored away for years in case they're worth millions later - not even on display, just hidden away in someone's garage / loft / toybox forever
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah i feel the same way. MISB collectors dont make any sense to me. They pay hundreds of bucks or pounds or whatever and then they dont even take them out of the box to enjoy them! Simply pointless.

Great work... One stupid question, though: Are these kits or are you scratchbuilding them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Niether. This is a normal Hasbro Transformers toy which anyone can buy, and i just took it (same with all my others) and repainted the dull, detail-less paint jobs and gave it something thats accurate to the robots you see in the movie.
All the stuff that ive painted that isnt in the movie is just my own imagination.

Cool! I actually have a few, though my daughters (6 and 2) seem to enjoy playing with them. They actually play with them and don't put dresses on them or marry them to Barbie or any BS like that! They actually play with them as Transformers are meant to be played with. AND they actually like the movie. They make this child of the 80s so proud!
Well, I enjoy your work. Very well done, indeed!

what? than must be a priceless experience, having children that appreciate some of the same stuff you did.

Oh, it's wonderful, especially given the fact they are girls. Daughters must be raised properly in this day and age, after all. They must be taught in the way of the Force, be able to identify the difference between Autobots and Decepticons, and know Earth's true history including that of Middle Earth and the fact that there are twelve other colonies of humans making their way to Earth after their civilization's annihilation from robots they created. Sure brings warm feelings to a father's heart when his six-year-old daughter's biggest dilemma at Halloween is whether she should dress as Cinderella or Princess Leia. You should hear my 2-year-old try to sing "We Will Rock You" while she plays with her dolls. Makes a father proud...

dammit i hope to accomplish that (if, i have daughters)..the way you describe it makes it sound so kool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Having daughters is the best experience in the world. Just not too sure what I think about the whole dating thing yet to come. Need some shotguns... Already have the violent war movies to play loudly when dates come over.
I hope you get the privilege of having girls one day. Take care, and good luck!

LOL, man you know the how it is!
then again i can only imagine i'll be scared shitless when I find myself in that situation.
Her father: Um son, let's have a little talk, you know, lay down some ground rules.
Me:>oh shit<

Wow, great work, one of the best among the voyager class customs i've seen. The colors are crisp and clean and the angle makes Optimus (at least from the thumbnail) 50 feet high.

Thank you. Yeah i love this angle.
