3.75 inch Movie Optimus Prime Custom
 

Hello, thanks for dropping by!

For a long time I have been wanting to make an Optimus Prime figure in the 3.75 scale (scout class). A few of my reasons are to have an optimus in scale with my legends figs, and it's cool to have a small non-transforming poseable figure in a "revoltech" kind of style. So, i looked for figures which i think may have potential, and i found Hyper Velocity Armor Iron man. A few Styrenes, Epoxies, SuperGlues, paints and a lot of Mess later, he's done! And i'm very pleased with the result!

Here's the recipe:
Base body - Hyper velocity armor Ironman 3.75
used styrene/sculpted in the parts
wheels, gas tanks, smokestacks etc. - RPM optimus prime
Gun - movie war machine 3.75 gatling gun/missile launcher

Oh and the flames were painstakingly hand painted using a twistie tie wire as a brush! :D

Hope you guys like it! Thanks!

More Pics! ;)

absolutely loving this. looks like a serious amount of work and totally worth it.

looks dope. Nice work.

Very cool, great work!

That is incredible. You did an outstanding job from the design all the way to the finished product.

great craftsmanship... nice paint aps and sculpt

Thanks guys! thanks for the great comments! I'm glad you guys liked it =)

Very original and great execution of the idea.

You've got me wondering (I'm not much of a transformers guy), if there are any 4 inch scale classic Optimus Prime or Megatron figures out there.

Lol! thanks :D

Thanks. I'm just a casual collector of Tf's myself, but yeah i think there are a few Primes and Megs out there that are close to 4 inch scale. revoltechs, and actionmasters come to mind, and i guess
the hybrid convoys.

i just can't get enough of this guy. here are more pics :)
