    After finding my childhood G1 Optimus Prime in such a disarray, I took it upon myself to source out, and piece together a G1 Optimus Prime more accurate to that of the cartoon. After months of searching, I have finally pieced together the following:

    1 G1 Unused Optimus Prime Label Sheet
    1 G1 Optimus Prime Cab
    1 G1 Optimus Prime Trailer
    1 G1 Optimus Prime Laser Blaster
    2 G1 Optimus Prime Fists
    2 G1 Silver
    1 G1 Gas Pump
    1 G1 Gas Nozzle
    1 G1 Gas Hose
    1 G1 Silver Roller Scout Car &
    1 Transformers Matrix of Leadership

    The label sheet has yet to be applied, and the only item now missing, is a clear blue reproduction windshield from transrepo.com. And without further ado I present....

    Not only this, but as I mentioned I still obtain my original childhood G1 Optimus Prime, which I'm now in the process of fixing, and sourcing out the missing pieces to make a "toy accurate" version. :)  I also just recently purchased a complete G2 Limited Edition Reissue Optimus Prime, so it's been a Prime couple of months with each toy being purchased/sourced for less then $50usd. :D

    I had a similiar idea heading into OTFCC '03. Try to find as many junker Prime's and pieces and put together a nice one. I pretty much gave up after 10 minutes haha.

    The finished product looks really good. Great job man!
