Okay guys, check this out. When CW Optimus was first revealed, the first thing I noticed was the brutish proportions. Some people even commented that it's almost ape-like. So i always thought if it's possible to make an Optimus Primal out of this mold. Robot mode would most likely stay the same, except for the colors, of course. Truck mode is still a go. But what about Gorilla mode? Is it possible to squeeze a convincing ape mode from this mold? And here's what I got. Obviously, the combiner head would be replaced with a gorrila head. Combiner mode will still be possible, if needed or wanted. As for robot mode, a new Primal head would also be needed. So, triple changer Optimus Primal. TRUKK and MUNKY. It is possible. Now, if I can just scrape enough time to do this... What do you guys think?
I hope beyond hope they do a Beast Wars CW set for Botcon, and that they've already thought of this for their version of Primal.
needs 3 things - 5mm plug-in BIG fists for gorilla mode - CW pegs for gorilla mode feet - and your aforementioned gorilla head DO IT
I got some gorilla-like proportions by adding limb-bots for the arms, but not the leg. I used Rook and First-Aid, but Blades and Fireflight might work better color wise. Replace the gestalt head with a gorilla-like head, like you said, and you should be all set. TRUXX IZZ MUNKY
That's freaking awesome! But I'm trying to veer away from making him a combiner. Big bulky arms like those could work as big guns in robot mode, perhaps? Also, what could be used as a good robot gorilla head? I'll definitely be using the CW hands/feet one way or another.
