With the rest of my Optimus Prime pieces complete, I took the past few evenings to finish painting everything up. It’s nice to see everything come together fully as I’d imagined well over a year ago.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Starting back with my first truck-form conversion and trailer, Optimus was already starting to take shape and influence the battlefield.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the robot-form was complete and the Combat Deck\/Roller combo was put together, I ran into a funny issue. What color should Roller be?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ultimately, I decided to go the original toy route with the same dark blue as Optimus’ color scheme.\u00a0 The cartoons had him light grey but I decided the dark would hide my Frankenstein kitbashing a bit better.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Combat Deck was pretty easy for colors as they remained pretty constant across all iterations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The main combat module painted up easily and matched the toy and cartoon concepts (or as much as they could given my kitbash deviations).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The rest of the Combat Deck painted up simply with some freehand art.\u00a0 With that, the whole “set” is complete.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Well. Almost complete. I still need some rules so here is where I’m starting:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So that is a start.\u00a0 Of course these rules are completely untested and likely way out of balance but I have to start somewhere.\u00a0 I also need to put the rest of the rules together for his Combat Deck and Roller and any other special rules but I ran out of time formatting the layout.\u00a0 All in good time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
