This is made using AOE First Edition Rodimus Prime Here are some of the things I did. I removed the pins on the back pack, so the back kibble can be removed on robot mode but, can still be placed back by just tabbing it in so it can still transform to truck mode. I removed the antennae on the head and added side panel to resemble Rodimus' helmet. Also shaved it otherwise, it would look like a mohawk. Added pipes/tubes on the right arm Painted flames on the truck using stencils I made. I chose a flaming wing for the truck decal so that when it transform to robot mode, the visible part will resemble Rodimus' back spoiler.
Rodiums informs Prime that Michael Bay offered him a contract to star in the upcoming movie Transformers 4 Age of Extinction (I don't know how to attach the pic description/ dialogue so I'll just place it here. I hope you have a laugh) Pic 1 Rodimus: "Hey Optimus, guess what?! I'm gonna be in the new Transformers movie Pic 2 Optimus: "Wow, that's great! C'mere, you..." Pic 3 Optimus: "Fist bump, dude!" Pic 4 Rodimus: "See you later, Prime!" Optimus: "You cost me a season last time you got in our movie" Rodimus: "huh, what's that?" Pic 5 Optimus: "Never again!" Pic 6 Optimus: "Take this, you punk!" Pic 7 Optimus: "Can you hear what the prime is cooking?!" Pic 9 Optimus: "Ooh yeah! That felt good" Epilogue (Before filming starts) Bay - Where's Rodimus? Optimus - Uh... he said he needed to go back to cybertron I think his grandmother died or his cat. Or his grandmother's cat. I'm not sure but, he won't be back for long, I guess. Bay - Now where on Earth I'm gonna find a new star? Optimus - Hey Bay! Check out my new upgrades. It's from Western Star. Bay - Oh what the heck!!!
Damn you mate! I was dead set on not getting this figure, but now, now after seeing this, I have to. This is definitely a most brilliant custom, with a damn impressive paint scheme and stunning details
I read the story of that ass beating, in my head, in the grandfatherly voice of Anthony Hopkins. Happy Wookie Life Day.
Nice! Makes me like that figure some, I would also love to see it used as Magnus and/or Thunderclash (or the Galvatron figure).
What a cool idea! And the flames look amazing! I like the allusion of his spoiler in bot mode, nice touch. And thanks for the laugh.
Aw, MASK! I thought I was the only one who remembered that show! I think I actually had more of those toys as a kid than transformers.
That is awesome! I don't usually by much of the Bayverse stuff but that I would grab in a heart beat!
He undoubtedly looks even more Rodimus with the changes now. But I think I like the way you had him before more. Either way, like I mentioned before, this is insanely awesome.
