A silver Sharpie and a steady hand to break up some of the colour on the shoulders and his cheeks. Copied the Takara version which is prepainted this way. Wanted to make it a little less bland

Nice! I want to do that to my evasion prime. copy the takara highlights haha

You just used a sharpie? Does it hold up under wear and tear or do you just reapply as needed?

If you're rubbing it, it will wear a little, but I've been just reapplying as I see any spots. For the most part it holds fine (it did take a few layers as it needed to dry a bit before I continued to touch it up). I might eventually get proper paint and cover it or seal it somehow, but for now it looks good enough for display purposes. I usually use a silver Sharpie to colour the wheels/hubcaps as well, since the Hasbro ones are typically unpainted - though you can't see it in the photo, I did that as well on the EM Prime.

Looks awesome! I may do the same.

Fortunately the shoulder pieces (both the pipes and the fender sections) don't really rub on anything in transformation, so they hold up fairly well. It does come off easier than enamel paints, but if you're just displaying it in bot mode it's fine. Quick and easy enhancment

Nice job. Maybe you can try giving him a face plate too. Face plate is made from the plastic from transformers packaging, covered in tinfoil and attached using a tiny bit of tack and stick.

Wow, that looks great too! And it's amazing what a difference a bit of silver paint makes, it's a shame Hasbro doesn't realize that.

Heard about that. Sounds awesome but I had other stuff I needed to do today.

Man, Evasion OP is awesome! He could definitely use a few more well-placed paint apps, but he looks way better in person than in pictures. Super poseable and the transformation is really fun too. Almost like a mini Masterpiece! I'd almost say he's cooler than ROTF Leader OP as best movie Transformer. I think I might bring him tomorrow just to mess around with like I did with Orion Pax last year.
