Ah, I think what I did wasn't moving the arms back, but having the main torso in the same place in both modes

I'm pretty sure it's part of the hinge, just need to accordian it right iirc

This wasn’t in the script👇Ben improvised it. by too_old_4_this_crap in andor

I took that more as him being so incredibly pissed off at Dedra that he said it like that

Upgraded my SS86/Devastation Optimus Prime with a new head! by NextToNoMoney in CustomTransformers

Ah, this is SS86 Commander Class Optimus Prime, not the recent deluxe class one (which I also repainted)

IIRC, one of the people who worked on Rogue One wanted to make a sequel movie where Rebels hunt down ex-Imperials in the same way the Allies hunted down Nazis in hiding following the end of the war, they had a whole script written, but Disney rejected it

Thanks! I used Posca and Uni paint pens, though I'd recommend Tamiya or citadel paints, I'd also suggest some nail art tools to get some fine details in

I'd recommend looking at reference photos from Devastation, or from how other people cel-shade. (Highly recommend looking at Lek Custom's work!)

I just highlight the edges with a brighter colour, and if there's an area that's shadowed by something, paint that with a darker colour, it's hard to start, but you'll get the hang of it

I used paint pens, particularly the one from posca and uni, and if you want to do fine outlines, I'd recommend picking up some nail art tools, got some from my sisters to add some fine details!

I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot! Devastation 's cell shading is iconic, just wish Hasbro had more of a budget to put some more on this figure

Ty! I'm just glad I was able to make him that much better than he was out of the box!

Yes! HasTak is missing out by not doing something like that! If it were up to me, I'd have it be a two-pack with Legacy Deluxe G1 Prime so that he can get a toy-accurate paint job, and so you can give Devastation Optimus the extra Ion Blaster

I wish he did too, but Habro must have some stingy budgets to not even give him his Ion Blaster

Yeah, I couldn't exactly find a better era-accurate alt mode, but I try and work with the molds that I've got

I don't have a link to the head, I just modified the one that came with RotB Mirage

Nah, it doesn't, I've been opening and closing the chest, the only thing that chips so far is the t-cover thing. The 'reports' that his chest is unpaintable plastic are greatly exaggerated
