are you sure it's the right scale? cause all the other "in scale tf's" come to Prime's hip.

What other in scale figures. MP Prime is a completely different scale from the Alt/T figures, as well as being a different scale from MP Starsceam. The only figure in scale to him is Megatron.

Based upon what little we have seen of Elita-1's alternate mode in the cartoon (her front end), her head sits behind her cockpit the same way Cybertron Overide's does, with the top of her head still visible. How are you going to accomplish that since your version doesn't seem to have the chest forming the cockpit?

He is in 1/24 scale,just like the alts.

No he isn't, MP Prime is actually smaller then 1/24 scale. He's also a completely different design philosophy then the alternators, which is one of many reason i don't group him with them.

Prime is roughly based off a 1978 Peterbuilt 352H, which has a BBC (Bumber to back of cab) of 86 inches or 110 inches. Which would put him at either 1/28 scale or 1/36 scale respectively. Overall though he's really not a perfect scale representation do to his wheel wells and tires being significantly undersized as are the fuel tanks.

The trailer for the MP-4 release is said to be 1/24, and its actually slightly out of scale with Prime.

here are the latest pics.... also note that this elita-1 will be based on dreamwave's interpretations....

anemis, have you heard of Saint Seiya Myth Cloth?
Your designs for ELITE-1 seem like they're based off of the G3 models of the toyline. Nice work.

That's working out great so far. I'm very impressed!

by **Wikkid** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 11:35 pm

Looks good so far. Will it feature "kissy" lips?

by **TM anemis** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 12:12 am

here are the latest pics .... with a glimpse of the alt mode (please note it,s only at it,s initial stage !!)

by **TM Devastator** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 8:35 am

Dang, I didn't think there were any shots of Elita-1's alt mode.

by **Pun-3X** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 6:55 pm

He could always reverse the direction of the car mode? I think the only thing that would need to happen is the waist turning 180º. Considering it's in a very skeletal stage, I don't see much issue with having to 'figure out a way,' at this point.

Seriously though, I keep looking at the pic and thinking that the feet make the back end of the car anyway. I'm waiting for Anemis to come out and clarify how it's supposed to work, but I'm wondering if we're viewing it backwards.

If not--it IS his kitbash.

by **Pun-3X** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 7:54 pm

One could always hide the head under the nose of the car instead of having it half-exposed like in the cartoon. Sacrifice one point to create another.

I'll still wait for Anemis. Like I said, considering this is so early in, it could probably be done up a bunch of different ways from here.

by **TM anemis** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 9:41 pm

actually i,ve found striking resemblence to g1 blurr.... if you pay attention the head of both robots go at the same place.... cokpti windows and most of the actual forms really look similar.... one big difference is that elita-1 has wheels and blurr has not..... also i believe that arcee,s alternate form is very near that of elita-1's... so i,m moving in that direction bot of course there will be interesting differences.....

by **TM anemis** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 12:25 am

well for what i could observe it,s not a truck ,more of a car and as i said it has ALLOT of similiarities with blurr and as you ca see the nose of the car is very aerodynamic so this leads to the conclusion that it is more of a car then a truck ...but we all have are interpretation and this is mine and i,ll go where my gut feeling tells me to go and this is where i,m going
