    What are you guys using for scale, the dude? He's probably 5' something, definitely below 6'.

    Another one? Or am I remembering hearing about this one while it was still being built? Either way it's awesome.

    I don't think there's a hate for G1. In fact it's the opposite. Many old fans (not all) hate the movie designs, and it causes movie fans to lash out, even if all the G1 fan is saying is that they'd like a G1 version of something, without insulting the movie one. In fact the G1 fan even said the movie version was awesome. Heck, the G1 fan in question probably was a movie fan as well.

    Maybe the fact that a human can't fit inside exhaust pipes of a semi truck, and this guy probably could. Hence, larger than movie scale. Still cool tho

    Well, all the vehicle parts make it look like the dude is in Giant Land. That would be one humongous Peterbuilt.

    I've got both that Matrix and Allspark that are pictured. They are indeed pretty cool.

    Well according to some scale charts, Prime's approximately 34-36 feet tall.

    Probably how in TF4 Cade holds a piece of Optimus' head and the respective piece is so much bigger on this bust.

    Looking at this pic from ROTF, I think the problem might be that Optimus' torso, and the smoke stacks sticking up from it, are out of scale with his head.

    Edit: Or it might just be the different angle in this pic.

    Easiest way to have gotten the scale right would have been to chop up one of the actual trucks he's made from. Problem solved.

    That's not a complaint, that's an observation.

    That museum looks really cool.

    Oh...Please Don't. Those trucks look gorgeous they don't deserve that kind of fate.

    FOR YOU

    I wish I could see it in person as it looks great; wonder if they'd do a full Jetwing Optimus >XD. I'd also love to see them make a lifesized ROTF Megatron.
    To be fair it's a false observation as the guy wasn't actually complaining. And I'm inclined to agree with him; if they could make something this cool for movie stuff than they could certainly do something this cool for G1.

    That may be bigger than 1:1 scale, but it's pretty awesome nonetheless.

    That, is really damn cool. @_@

    I'm getting an Evangelion vibe from it for some reason.
