A no-brainer, had to be done. I'm surprised we haven't seen a ton of these already. Thanks to the almighty Jin for pointing us in the right direction for an in-scale tanker trailer. (1:43 'Fast Lane' utility hauler from TRU). I apologize now for so many pics. The head is from the Classics deluxe Optimus/Megs 2-pack. I removed that cross from the forehead vent (HATED that!!), sanded the sides down a little and whittled away some of the plastic around his face mask, for a more Prime like look. I also added an extra sword. The swords and the wfront windows were painted with Testors Model Master Clear Red. I modded the trailer to split at the center, added a cannon emplacement (cannon can be hand held) and turned the front of the tank into a shield. The tanker interior has a tab to hold the extra sword. Most of the metal accents are painted with Testors Model Master Metalizer paint, giving it a nice metal look and feel. The flames on the hood and the tanker were painted on (not decals). LED's are installed into the headlights with switches located under his arms, batteries are replaceable. Phew!!! Enjoy! More pics HERE. Thanks for looking, guys!
Excellent work man!! I agree that people should have made more of these by now but oh well. I hope hasbro makes one or i can get one commissioned just like it.
I was thinking they may do one, but it would be kinda weird if they had two figures named Scourge in the same figure line. Maybe they will do one for BotCon or something, or just call him Nemesis Prime at retail. Thanks for the love, man.
yeah dude... awesome job. This figure is rather amazing... ..... I just finished up one for the CF charity auction.. where did you get that trailer....
Ya thats my bet that the would call him nemesis prime. I hope we get a new retail nemesis prime soon. and the two of the same charaters have happened before in the line (bumblebee and the cubertron bee and the two primes) But i think they would still call him nemesis prime and not "Scourge (RID)" No prob man. this is epic. but could you make a tutorial or a seperate custom one how to make a trailer like that for the rts optimus prime?
Toys R Us, bro. Read my posts, you!!! Yeah, I will. I plan on making one for me. Really liked the Scourge character in RID. This isn't an eBay figure, so PM me about getting one, K? I'm not taking commissions anymore, but we can trade up something if you really want one. Really easy bash to do, took almost no time. The paint work was a labor of love, but almost no bashing involved. I took the path of least resistance for the trailer. LOL
OMG!! ax23 once again you present us another great custom including the weapons (who loves the BFGs). Great work, my man.
Trade? Like money trade for one? Or what did you have in mind? Ah so the head wasn't much of a labor either... good!!
Ditto. This thing is really awesome!! I really hope hasbro gives one of these the same kinda heart and hard work.
I thought this mold looked pretty decent as it was, but now I see that it should have been this. Amzing, and the trailer is effing awesome!! BFG all the way!
I'm surprised it took this long for one of these to appear, the only problem is now I want to get a 2 pack prime just to transplant the head.
Another awesome piece of work, this or gen arcee is the 1st full repaint i'm trying, how did u do the paint/color for the clear pieces
..That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.. wow.. this is really awesome. Once I perfect my skills of painting I'm gona do a lots of mods to my stuff, this is pretty inspiring thats why I say that. Really awesome man, I love it.
