May I present Metroplex Prime! (9%)

As the title suggests, this one is inspired by L_K's uber cool Metroplex upgrade.. that one is so mega awesome!!!!!

Till now I only did a simple G1 Trailer upgrade for ROTF Voyager Prime..
And my other WIP seemed to be doomed, due to multiple pin-removal  

So I got a near perfect Metroplex (with as you can see, weird stickering) mixed with a 2007 Leader class Optimus (without smokestacks, ehm)

Then I started building, witness the results!  

1. Articulated/Electric Head (Rev.3 Reversed to sink into body + green eyes)
2. Articulated legs/knees (not full like a ball joint but this is fine for now)
3. Articulated Arms (Mega posable and extended the easy way  )
4. Waist extension (LOLZ that prime cab is now beyond repairs!)
5. Articulated shoulders (never knew 2007 OP feet could be so handy  )
6. Mega Cannon/Launchers (Rev.3 battery holders + Cannons!)
7. Electric Helipad guns (Rev.3 Red semi-fast blinking lights)
8. Sounds (speaker installed) + rewired lots of soldering etc. (Rev.2)
9. Add folding/sliding Energon Saber + Energon shoulder decoration (Rev.2)
10. Wing attachment + easy remove system
11. Removal of stickers (100% Rev.4)
12. Articulated feet/toes (Rev1. no ball-joint just the easy way!)
13. Altering/repositioning the wheels for Vehicle mode (Rev.2 80%)
14. Added Powermaster Enginious??? (Yes why not   Rev.1 99%)
15. Painting blue/red etc. are now white (Rev.5 until I get a new bottle of white)
16. Gold detailing finished

FINISHED!!

UPDATE: New pics & Ebay tonight!

ON EBAY + Youtube video for Metroplex available:
YouTube - Custom Upgrade G1 Metroplex with Lights & Sounds!

 

This is the picture POST.1 so that MAIN(first)POST will stay clean and only the newest images show etc.

 

please help me with my question! (check last picture for more info)

Only problem for raising the mid section I'm thinking of using the Prime cab, but can seem to take it apart wiyhout breakibg the electrics...
cuz I want my (metro)PLEXI to light up and have sounds, so does anyone know or already took apart a 2007 leader prime?

 

I do, I have, and it's a pain in the ass. That long pin is by far the hardest I've had to take out ever. I'm wishing I hadn't because I'm going to have to put it back in, but there's a thread about using a soldering iron for pin removal that is effective. I wish I would have found it before I started. Check the tutorials.

 

thnx finally an answer  ... well yeah I though it would be a pain  

hmm my solder iron is a bit to large I guess, but I can try since damaging isn't that serious problem cuz I only need some pieces and maybe never assemble that fugly prime again  

 

BFP's are out (read: big friggin pins!) Stay tuned, I can finally continue....

 

Almost done with all the rough work  

Now I'm thinking where to put all the electrics and micro-switches and stuff  

 

The battery-holders wil be 2 extra large rocketlauncher/BFG on top of the left shoulder..

new pics tommorow   STAY TUNED AND THNX 4 LOOKING!

 

thnx  

here a quick PS on the colors... or should I say greyscale  

 

Idd stay with the original metroplex colours   Or a lil darker or so.

But i´dd also get rid of the wheels of optimus  

 

Ooo shiney! Can't wait to see this one finished.

 

Good work mate, interesting use of a 2007 Movie Op there!

Your name G60Force, you own a G60 golf or corrado??

Regards

Seán

 

Owned a Tuned to the (semi)max Corrado G60 Motorsport Stage7 indeed  

Now I only have an Oldtimer Golf 1 Convertible, your into VW or cars?  

A yeah OP 2007 is now officially dead and put to good use  

 

Update!

Ball-joint shoulder (the other one is gonna be a mega-pain)  
+ Double cannon (battery holder) = getting a smaller revision tomorrow!

Question does anyone with electric knowledge, knows how long the led-extension cable can be and how many extra led's I could hook up?
(what best serial or parallel connection)

 

Rev.2 Electrics

Yes there will be light!!  

(Rev.2 Electrics)

 

I take it your mk1 is a pre clipper convertible?

And nice! I love rado's, I do love the euro scene, the dutch seem to have a good eye with their cars! I have a slightly modded 2001 Audi S3 which has been murdered out, completely black all round. Mean as hell! Any pics of the rado?

Back onto tf topics... You're making lots of progress mate! Really impressive!

can't seem to find the corrado pics, but here's a piv from my topless  

 

Update of first and second post!

 

Isn't it funny, which figures turns out being the same size? City=truck.
Great job so far! Keep it up.
