[HC Mullica]

Wow, Colin--you should be immensely proud of the work you have done, and the level of detail you have included. Thank you for bringing Optimus to life, and sharing your work in progress. I suspect that you have inspired a lot of people with this accomplishment, and many will owe you a debt of gratitude for it. Congratulations, and I look forward to seeing your future work! :cheers

 

[Spacemunkie]

Absolutely nuts and completely brilliant. Good work that man!

 

[blownhemi]

This is seriously the most awesome thing I've seen in a long while!

 

[Getoninja]

well thats just Prime. super damn awesomeness job!!

 

[Mr Fett]

That is soooooooooooo cool !!!!

 

[StupidMunkee]

Haha this so cool.... Since this is a display you should rig up a motion sensor with a voice box so when someone walks by it says "I am Optimus Prime" and or other various things...

 

[CustomPropSculptorGuy]

That... is... Epic!!!

What did you use for the round part on Optimus's ears?

thanks Monteburns, thanks for you support on prime, the ears come from the new helmet from the 2007 movie, thats also where i took primes sound from, if you look at the top of primes cab, your notice the vents, i had to heat them to take the curve out, they used to run down the side of the mask,i alslo used the vents on the white band of the cab too, the sounds are wired to a big speaker behind the grill,:thumbsup

guys heres a link for my first video of prime, enjoy,

That video really drives home how awesome this project is. I'll admit, I half expected to hear some Stan Bush during it. :lol

On an aside, I turned my Wii into a media for my 3 year old daughter. It's full of Disney movies and preschooler shows we've gotten her. I also threw all of the G1 episodes on and lately that's the only thing she wants to watch! If you try and put something else on, she starts saying "No no no" while waving her hands in the air and will only stop when you put the Transformers back on. That's my kid!

thanks for the awesome support, do you know its really strange, my son is 12, he grew up with amarda, energon etc, buts its g1 thats on his dvd shelf, same with star wars, he's grew up with 1,2 and 3, but the originals that sits on his shelf, now lets wait and see what they do to the new cgi thundercats!!!
