It was really simple, just sprayed some Krylon plastic primer, then dry brushed its brains out, haha. Actually, I really like how smooth the paint dried. This type of plastic seems to complement paint very nicely. Thanks for posting, glad people are enjoying it. I will be making other pre-beast wars figures along the way. ie, Tarantulas, Scorponok, etc.

kinda looks like sentinel maximus,but darker and more bad@$$!!

so does he still have his 5 wheeled tank mode?

I love those soulless dead eyes. Really adds to the overal look I think.

God, I miss Beast Wars! Why can't Hasbro reissue/repaint some Beast Era figures?

Yep, all modes are still there. I guess i should do some other pics with those modes. The only thing i broke on him as a kid was his monkey head. Still have it, but its difficult to glue back on.

Im all for it, Beast Wars is my all time favorite series. Im hoping the timelines comic/figures gets more exposure. Perhaps spark a new Beast Wars tv show, kinda like prime did for G1? Hasbro, you listening?

Keep um coming folks
