I started watching Transformers Prime and knew I had to have one of the most badass versions of Optimus to date. Then I got the American R.I.D. version and was disappointed at how awful the sculpt was. I was getting ready to tear him apart and put something together that was more show accurate. I decided to turn him into Nemesis Prime.
I picked up a First Edition not too long ago and just tweaked him with some paint apps all around to be more show accurate. I used different shades of metallic silver throughout and bright blue for weapons accents. This is a more clean look before a eventual more battle tested look like the show is applied
