The Energon Pub

I am a Chaplain for the Chattanooga Police Department and fellow Transformers fan, customizer and model builder. I must make an appeal to the Transformers, anime and art community so I am posting this on multiple sites. This weekend at AWA (Anime Weekend Atlanta) I had two of my pieces stolen I had entered in the art show. One was a Master piece Optimus Prime custom with battle damage and modifications based on Transformers the Movie (anime) and the episode Dark Awakening. Also my 1/100 scale Gundam Leopard. Another artist’s model and the art show’s laptop were also taken. If either of these turn up on EBay or some other web site please contact me ASAP because I have an open investigation on these items. I give my word that I am willing to drop all my charges if I can have these items returned to me. Though not depicted I added one of dad’s actual Sergeant medals to the arm shield so it has great sentimental value as he died back in 2007. If you have any info I can be contacted either here or via Facebook under the name “H Anthony Cothern Jr”. Here is a pic of the Gundam and a WIP of my Optimus…comments welcome…
Gundam Leopard

Final Battle/Zombie Prime



I added the “back tanks” like he has in the animation. In Dark Awakening and Headmasters episodes his back is grey where as previously the entire back was red. I decided to compromise and only make the tanks grey/aluminum.



This battle damage below is not based on Dark Awakening but rather the Movie. The damage in the “grey” area is really only shown at the moment Megatron’s light saber hits him. The rest of the time damage is limited to his “grill” and side.
