    Ah now this p.cool!Never thought the Inferno mold would acually work out as Prime,but it seems like you managed to pull it off really nicely.
    I'd love to see some comparision pics with classic Megs and some random autobots once it's finished.

    this actually reminds me of armada op's cybertronian mode before he scanned the diesel.

    looking great!

    What do you do for the arms for transformation, just swap them?

    I did for the initial part of making the custom, but you don't need to once it's done once. You do have to swap the shoulder pads during transformation though.

    When I look at that picture, the only thing that goes through my mind is the age-old line: "Autobots, transform and roll out!".

    You win, sir. You win.

    Thanks! Glad to see this one is still getting some press.
    I confess I haven't done anything w/ him since my last photos,
    he's taken a back-burner while I did a quick dio for a GI Joe contest,
    another GI Joe vehicle, and a Unicron custom. Aaaand, I still
    have my Trypticon custom to work on too!

    No wonder I'm so tired. :)

    This is great work. I'm sure there won't be a better CHUG optimus for a while. But, you need to give him a much bigger gun, like the one from Armada Prime or a modded version of MP Prime's. That looks more like a pistol with an extended barrel on that massive bot.

    After a brief hiatus, I'm back on this one.
    Added Powermaster Prime's trailer to him, after
    a bit of modification (already modified somewhat
    for an earlier PM Prime custom I did).

    I also got him a beefier blaster, more pics on that
    later.

    Paint is still rough, not 100% done.
