    Has 8 drive wheels. The truck-fan in me wants it for that aspect alone.

    For context, it's a custom project by one guy who designed and printed the whole thing from scratch. Super impressive stuff. This is the first I'm hearing about it having a production number though.

    The whole thing can be seen here.

    Okay, It's one helluva sales pitch if Takara sees it.

    So it's a one-off personal build. That's too bad because it looks so good.

    One person did the entire thing, from design to finish? ONE PERSON?? I can't comprehend that level of multi-disciplinary talent.

    Like, holy cow.

    I hope this gets produced!

    I'm super impressed that a single person worked on this masterpiece. Whoever's behind this absolutely deserves to get picked up by some company for this.

    Yeah, their modeling prowess is remarkable. I spent a whole semester learning CAD and it’d probably take me that long just to make the head and weapons!

    Mass production confirmed according to daimchoc’s Facebook page.

    I’d be so down to get this if it’s not too expensive, but from the current pictures I do question how poseable it is. Looks like the hips will barely have any range, unless there’s hidden tricks

    I just saw the facebook post as well looking forward for more info. Does remind me of a perfect grade 1/60 gundam model kit. Hopefully we can build the inner frame as well as the outer parts. Hope the designer does a megatron to go with prime if this is a hit.

    Range on the hips looks good to me based on the inner frame pictures on the website. Might get a little hampered with all the armor attached but it hardly looks limiting.

    Looks fun to build, but ungodly cost and no transform means I no buy.

    I wonder if this project is still alive. No updates for a while now. I really need this in my collection

    Please we need info on this Just watched a youtube video on this (described as 3d printed bumblebee movie prime) Clearly not from the bumblebee movie. To be honest i forgot about this. Don't know who the designer of this is working with in regards to mass produce but i hope its bandai they do incredible gundam kits and have the most experience in model kits. Praying to primus it is still happening !

    Wow! So much respect here I don't know if I can word it right. Just seeing this helps me understand how much goes into toy design than I realized. Kudos to the guy who did this!

    Shit, I hope this isn’t dead. What a beautiful, unique design, it’s like someone made my dream Prime. Yeah mad respect for whoever made this.

    Just saw the soundwave, it's amazing and so is this prime, it's too bad they are just one-off builds.

    If these were production I'd definitely buy soundwave
