Optimus Prime

Mad Physicist is back with something pretty epic, a fully transforming Optimus Prime on a scale I don't think I've ever seen before. It's got all the detail and creative touches you'd expect from Ralph, and when he showed some WIP pics I really thought it was just going to be a huge truck model. Then I check my Flickr feed this morning and see it fully transforms...stunning.

One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall!

Our old buddy Moko  has come up with a pair of killer Gen 1 chibi-formers: Megatron and Optimus Prime.  And better yet, they actually transform!  Wonderful details and poseability on each of these characters, plus a variety of weapons, just like the 80's action figures.  I know because I still have mine.  Awesome stuff, Dude!

Autobots...Roll Out

While I'm not the biggest Transformers fan, and certainly not a Michael Bay fan, this MOC really caught my eye. It takes some serious building chops to get this much form and detail into such a small package. I never thought I'd see a MOC of the movie Optimus Prime at this scale, but here he is, and he's pretty awesome.

Super Deformed Optimus Prime Is Super Awesome

As I always do I must disclose that I'm not a huge Transformers fan. It came along just a bit late for my childhood and the movies are just dumb. But I totally appreciate some awesome building, and this super deformed Optimus Prime from MacLane fits the bill. Now if someone could super deform Shia LaBeouf...

I have a nerd confession to make, I don't give a rat's LaBeouf about Transformers. I was just a little too old when they hit popularity to care as a kid, and like most of Michael Bay's movies, his movie adaptations did nothing for me (I like to watch films, not be assaulted by them). I do however really like this MOC. Even if it wasn't based on a cool cartoon and toy line, it would be awesome.
