Mampy's Custom ROTF Optimus Prime - with removable swords and custom gun

looks great man,

and for the pictures, look in the tutorial section, there's a thread in there about attaching and displaying the pictures. and if you still have trouble, just ask a mod, i'm sure they would be happy to help you.

and for changing the default picture in the thread, I'm curious about that as well. I've seen others do it.

again, great custom! and i love that group shot

Whenever I change the default pic, I usually delete them all and reupload in the order I want. Remember, the first one you upload is the default!


This thread may be useful to you all as well!

Thats is one amazing Prime man. I'd say up there with the heavy hitters of the Radicons.

Edit:Never mind Big hank got to it before I did.

That is awesome! Love the weapons and the group shot looks great!

ei mamps! you did'nt tell me you were working on a prime as well? great job! especially with the pinstripes, and you gotta teach me how you changed the hands, every step!

The dark color for Prime is kinda growing on me. great job mamps! GO PINOY!
I have a TFTM movie Prime but this ones Premium, you really gotta tell me how to change hands

I hope your not referring to my metal/gel sign/dong-A silver pen???

Thanks bro! I do take some artistic freedoms from the CGI references as well, but I'm glad that you think so.

Thanks guys! I grabbed the TFing GIF idea from another customizer from another forum and I'm actually surprised that not many people are doing it. I think it's pretty cool.

Thanks for the help! I tried to photoshop the background on the group shot so it comes out as a darker, flat black like some other people do on this boards but I couldn't quite get all the texture and "lighter" areas out.

I get it now, thanks!

I'm honored that you think so. I actually got the idea for the gun from the one you made for your TFTM Prime. Thanks!

Thanks man!

Hehehe.. Gotta keep 'em surprises to yourself. Thanks!

I personally like the darker, duller gray drybrushing finish because a bright silver stands out too much with the red/blue unpainted plastic. I got the articulated hand mod from F_R. Check out his tutorial here.

I recommend that you use a regular TFTM Prime if you have one so you can salvage the guns as well.


Yup that's what I used. It never dries and the ink smudges if anything touches it, that's why you have to spray clear coat to protect the stripes.

Awesome work on that gun bro. Might need to eh hem, borrow the idea of it for my own. With some differences obviously.

dude can you make a thread on how to do the swords mod, and also make a tutorial on how to make the gun?

Thanks man! Be my guest.

Yeah sure, I'll see what I can come up with.
