    Three things:
    1: (being sincere) cool art! Did you make that?
    2: (joking) no red eyes, fail
    3: (honest question) I don’t think that looks like it wants to ever transform. Are you looking for a statue?

    I get where your coming from no doubt . He’s definitely not toon accurate . ( well maybe the standard mode is along the line , other then his waist area ) , but of the options available , this one won me over the most . Runner up was the Takara LG EX version , and the reason I passed on that was there wasn’t any Ginrai mode . As for MakeToys , that was just a no . I’m sure someone will blow this one out of the water eventually ( hopefully Takara ) , but till then , this guy is pretty fun and he works well .

    I don’t think a toon accurate transforming version of this guy is possible as the toon transformation defies physics. Especially the part where matter cannot share the same pace. When he merges, you can clearly see his legs curl around the back of the cab, same as PB, but once the cab and trailer combine, the legs are simply gone.

    You're right. After posting it I've just pulled the trigger on some parts to try and make something like the artwork as I've always wanted pmop like this. Why not have a crack now.

    Most art doesn't look like it can transform as proportionsand mass shifting are easy to fudge with a pen. That being said I've been spurred by the challenge, now the wait for parts and 3d design in areas begins in earnest.

    I didn't draw it no but it really nails the pmop look for me. Also he had blue eyes in Masterforce iirc, it was the g1 toy that had red.

    The legs don't always disappear. Sometimes they are shown as backpack, sometimes they are shown behind the cab, inside the trailer torso section like this awesome artwork by Roche/stprime:

    powermaster optimus prime 18 x 24 pen and ink 002 (2).jpg

    This also epitomizes him for me. Big, powerful but proportionally sound:

    powermaster_optimus_prime_by_dan_the_artguy_d977xv_by_redhavic-da3rz3k.jpg

    I think the obvious aesthetic are the thighs aren't miniscule.

    I kinda bounced the idea around in my head for a while of doing similar with MP10 and MP01 as the power armor. But FansHobby outpaced my laziness.

    However, if all you want is the figure and not a transformable piece, buying the old pm trailer and slapping it on MP-01 may be a start.

    It'll transform and what I'm planning is more involved than a simple mp01/g1/mp10 chop job. Tbh it's something I've always wanted to do but back then the parts weren't available, I never had a 3d printer and I'd never dabbled in 3d design. I'd love to be able to snag the Hi-q on this though. What are Fanshobby like in that respect? Are they like Fanstoys who will do parts separately or do they not talk?

    It's now or never as I'm recuperating from a dislocated shoulder and I have the time!

    I can relate... An Alternators Ultra Magnus is still on my to do list. Even bought the CW UM to cobble together a base outline. ... Someday...

    I do not know on the FH communication. I'd guess, yes, they will help if they can.

    Buuut:
    PC-15 Perfect Combiner Upgrade

    Is also an option.

    ... And he's busy ripping legs and arms off by the looks of it.

    I have no interest in a black repaint. Just send out the God bomber unit and I’ll be happy .

    In artwork, maybe not,but in Masterforce they do. I mean, you can tell they are supposed to be between the cab and the trailer, but there simply isn’t enough room for them to physically be there.

    That's why you keep it's eyes covered at all times. :lol 


    This repaint was inevitable, but thankfully I had myself prepared for it, and have my willpower in place so I can resist this......I hope....

    My pre-order is the 2nd batch without the matrix gift.
    I will received it next week as the 2nd Batch Power Basers are being shipped out now to Singapore...

    Hopefully I get a good piece as I just cancelled and lost my deposit on Alien Attack El Cid.
