Haven't 100% figured out how he's going to fit into my verse yet. But so far Prime is a robot built by the Joe team using BAT technology.
Also I have to get him some weapons.
For size . . .
Let me know what you think so far.

I like it. Quite a bit, actually. I'm not sure about those hands, though. What parts did you use? |

While not a TF fan, that is incredible work. |

Thanks, guys. Head: Tri-Gate custom sculpt Hands: Revoltech Feet: HALO Rest: Iron Man The hands, like the feet, had to be large for the look I wanted. And I had those hands in my fodder bin for a few years now. And I was only too happy to finally find a home for them. Not sure when else I would have ever used them. |

The hands do look a bit large but aside from that this is SO much win I nearly peed myself. Definitely has a movie feel to it which I like. Well done. |

Awesome. I actually had a similar idea for a Joe-sized Prime myself using a Halo fig as a base --- is the Tri-gate head big enough for a Master Chief body, or would it look too tiny? Incredible job painting him up - definitely going to try that with mine. |

Okay, after seeing this does anyone have an extra optimus trigate head they are not using? |

Here ya go, Dan . . .  Obviously the neck needs to be trimmed, but overall I think it's workable. |

Wow..... Didn't know about a joe sized Optimus at first, but after those pics, who can argue! Great work. Plans for more Joe sized TFs? |

Commented on this on HT, but wanted to do so here as well... Great job on this figure. I like the gritty, metallic look of the figure, with the wash making it look like it has seen some action! -Todd |

Sweet. The Inking may be a little heavy, but it's a great looking custom and a really cool concept. I recommend the guns that come with the modern "The Corps!" figures. They look like laser/pulse weapons. |
