    FOC Prime to Powermaster Prime / God Ginrai - COMPLETED -

    Based on a great idea that has been floating around the boards, I took Generations Optimus Prime, Cybertronian Defense Red Alert, some Gundam parts, a Cyberverse playset, and some misc. items and made a modernized God Ginrai/ Apex Armor Powermaster Prime.

    PRIME
    Optimus was repainted entirely and his waist was extended, improving the proportions of the combined form. He's also no longer a short deluxe - he's an average one! He also has holes for the combiner head and Powermaster. In vehicle mode, he combines with a trailer made of Red Alert and misc. pieces.

    HI Q
    The Powermaster is made of a PCC minicon. He connects to Prime in both the small and combined modes. He also can ride on God Bomber and man the battlestation when Prime wears hia armor

    GOD BOMBER
    The vehicle is designed to operate on its own or to connect to Primea vehicle mode as a second trailer. It is made of the vehicle from a DOTM Cyberverse set and various Gundam pieces that make up the Apex Armor, which attach to the vehicle via magneta and ball joints. The core vehicle can turn into a battle station/ turret. Godbomber connects to Prime's trailer via a c-clip.

    COMBINED FORMS
    Prime attaches via balljoints and pegs. The head is from Lioconvoy and the guns from Energon Superion. Armor connects via pegs and balljointa. The Powermaster can combine with Primes torso.

    Wow, that's really incredible. My only critique is the powered up head is a bit large. I think a smaller head would make the big figure seem larger. Great work.

    As a Masterforce fan, I have to say that I like this custom very much. But is it bad of me to say that Ginrai (HI-Q) is my favorite part about it?

    I think the large combined head looks appropriate as the head of the actual toy is pretty big.

    Great job!

    I tried to provide US and Japanese names for recogniton purposes (Hi Q / Ginrai, etc...). I'm also a big fan of Japanese G1. I had all of the leaders at one time, but sold them as I paid some bills and transitioned into a classics-focused collection. Making God Ginrai was part of filling that void (making Dai Atlas and Star Saber next).

    The PCC minicon used for Ginrai is the perfect update to the classic powermaster body. Nice sculpt, ok articulation, and a nice rectangular engine.


    Thanks everyone.

    Love it. :) 

    I'm having a hard time finding a good head for this custom as well. Those thin arms and large legs throw off most of I've thrown on this custom.

    Very well done and I like it! Powermaster OP with Apex Armor is my favorite character in the transformers universe and I wish I had that sufficient spare parts to made my own.

    I love this! Espespecially Pinpoint (I think that's his name) as Hi-Q/Ginrai.

    Zombie thread time...

    With money being tight as a bunch of new stuff coming out...I put this on eBay.

    I only make things for myself and have only been able to push myself into letting a few of my things go in the past, but Computron calls... (100 starting price and hoping it'll go up from there)
