Dont know if any one has posted about this yet but there is a modded leader prime on ebay that has been made to look more like the movie. It has new paint apps, the arm blade and the chaingun belt. The thing is cool.

Really does make all the difference.

Still, the Voyager version is for me.

Such a nice job. But it does prompt me to ask one thing...

Does every single one of these figures get a floppy left smokestack? LOL....every single one of them I see, including mine...suffers from that flaccid affliction.

The one flame on the left front fender has a small knick right out of the box, but you don't notice it until after you get a close look at it.

The auction states that the band is required to hold the blade on, because he gutted the feature in that assembly.

I dont even remember the feed in the movie. I know it was on the pre-production pics. The feed is easy to make but the blade would be hard. The blade part is self isnt just need to cut some orange plastic. That metal attachment would be hard to make. Now i have some ideas on how to make the arm blade.

Thats what i was thinking. Im sure you can find doc ock for cheap some were. If you wanted to replicate the feed. I like the sword the best.

Yes. I am now on a quest to create a sword like that. As well as doing some detail work. After seeing this I've noticed that my Prime looks to much like a toy and is kinda dull.

here's the final tally on this custom Optimus Prime:
87 bids, won by an individual in Switzerland for (drum roll, please) $2500.00.

Now I'm probably going to add some detailing to my Leader Prime just not selling it on eBay (unless I buy a 2nd one). I'm using the large images from the movie website and some other promotional images to bring out the awesomeness Hasbro forgot.
