Copperhead (custom) - Sports Car mode
This is deluxe class custom is an Autobot named Copperhead. Part of the Transformers Prime universe, the character is based off the previous legion sized customs I did for my local Arizona Transformers group. He's pictured in his sports car mode.
Upscaled to the deluxe class first-edition Bumblebee figure, he's got more detail than I could have squeezed into the mini-figures.
Somewhat hamstrung by the original deco, I couldn't quite explore beyond the original paint colors for fear of straying too far from the original project. I did add some more silver and other highlights, but overall the paint scheme just doesn't pop as much as I wished it did. The difference between the metallic red and medium brown just doesn't have enough contrast. Also I learned that while I can remove pins easily, it's not always the wisest decision and is just easier to paint around most pin hinges.
I'm still glad to have this figure as he's a nice memento of the crazy 10-figure-build project.
