-Optimus Prime (duh)
Optimus is the best Transformer ever; the one character that is unarguably a pop-culture icon and tremendous character, and not just a toy. If I could pick a fictional character to be president, it would be Optimus.
Gushing concluded, then, let's look at the figure.
The figure chosen is the Optimus Prime figure I showed off last post.
As noted in that post, there wasn't a lot of modifications necessary to make the figure look like the iconic character: just some modifications to the sword, the faceplate, and then filling up the screw holes in the body.
The tones I chose were washed out to demonstrate Prime's age and experience. Prime has always struck me as a very old and very sad character, being the leader of the heros' never-ending grind against an unstoppable evil in a several-million year war. Thus, the reds are dark, the blues are greyed, and both are scratched up with silver.
Even the eyes turned out fairly sad looking... I feel like it caught the character I was going for.
His army card is here (excuse the pink markings on the left. You'd just cut that off when printed.)
Well, what do you think? Penny for your thoughts, Autobots?
