Transformers - Transcanning Optimus Prime

Now, the Trans Scanning version of Optimus Prime.





Like Bee, it comes with base figure and parts for both protoform and Earth mode.


Unlike the animated shows, Optimus is a blue robot in Cybertron. In the cartoon, his Cybertron look is the same as in Earth, and even before made into Prime, when he was still Orion Peck, he was still a robot with red as dominant color.



So, protoform means transform into Earth entry mode la?


The robot mode. Deliberately save the head for the last. Make a holding the helmet cool pose first.

The base for my Optimus has tighter joint, but the car part is a mess. Due to the nature of the figure, where we attach parts to the body, the transformation relies a lot of very big piece of part that done most of the job.


Althought the chest has transparent windshield, but it is still a cheat. He should be easier to pose for the tighter joint, but the heavy load at the back made it quite impossible.



And again, after a nightmarish transformation, the outcome is rewarding!


The detail is just awesome and marvellous, and the chrome parts, the paint job etc...



Even a Voyager truck mode cannot compare with it.


The paint and color job is more movie accurate and if only Voyager and Leader class can have all those chrome...

Damn, even the wheels look nicer!



If the head lights are painted or piped, it will all the better. But for such a small figure, even the Autobot symbol on the grill is so detailed.

It will be another toy I will never transform it back to robot again...

Now, two trans scanning version's alternate mode.


But still transformation is not perfect and there are places where it doesn't hold strongly...
