Hi all,

This is my take on "Power Up Prime".

What makes this “Power Up Prime” unique is it is movie/ concept art accurate “Power Up Prime” but has detachable Jet Fire armour so that Optimus Prime can transform into truck mode.

Plus, the way the attachments are designed are so that different parts of the armour moves with body parts to maintain high articulation in “Power Up” mode.

This a complete scratch build for the "Power Up" mode. All my attachments are through magnets hidden/ embedded in Prime as well the individual armoured parts.

I did the standard ROTF Prime modifications including a ball-jointed articulated head, and TFTM hands.

If you want to see more photos, flickr links and the details on all the custom scratch work, you can see it at my blog: http://backstagebusiness.wordpress.com/ ... mus-prime/

Enjoy a couple of photos of the pre-Power Up Prime and the Power Up Prime.
