    MP-44 ≠ TE-01
    MP-44 - Articulation
    TE-01 - Cleanliness
    I prefer MP-44; but they each serve their own purpose.

    This is an incredibly impressive job! I hope that someday it will become a real 3d party figure and introduce a trend to create figures with internal detail!

    Personally not a fan of Hike-imus prime. So yeah, given how many primes we get with clean back, it’s pretty easy to beat it. The thread you entered (for some reason when defensive of mp 44) shows basically the perfect prime, and very much kicks mp 44’s ass in looks. Hell, the description even says it was made because MP 44 was disappointing to him.

    It kicks TE-01's arse as well.

    yep. My only worry is whether it'll get made or not. Like does he have any contact with a third party company? a factory? can he sell it to someone? I need this thing in my life.

    @walternaka So, what are your plans for this ?
    Are you going to try and work with an already existing third party, start your own company, or just make an awesome 3D model ?

    So, is this just a 3D render or an actual physical item?

    I think a lot of us are disappointed by MP-44. This is looking good so far - I hope we get to see it in plastic some time!

    Without this being an actual physical item, it classifies as a project and belongs in the Creative Discussion area.

    Say you are able to sell this design, will you continue to make other transformers, or will you be moving on to one of your other interests ?

    If this project can bring me income, I will continue to design other roles, and I have some original ideas, such as samurai transformers.

    @walternaka Have you ever done business with a company before, when concerning a third party that is.

    WOW!!! NOOICE!!! This a good toon version of Optimus Prime. However, if you want to make the trailer mode toon accurate also, try and hide the silver stripe that goes around the cab. MP 44 and TE 01 did that for toon accuracy. I'd be in on this. Awesome work.

    It seems to me that the truck is based off of the G1 figure.
