The Energon Pub

The G1 Prime I won on an ebay auction arrived today. It's definitely been played with by someone before I got it. loose joints and battle damage, but it was advertised as used, the pics show it is used, and it is "used". I'm cool with that:

The Package


Inside the package:



"Battle Damage G1 OP":



Robot mode w/ Trailer:



Battle damage G1 OP Truck mode:



A bit blurry, but you get the drift:



Truck mode in repair bay:



Robot mode with base mode trailer:



Battle damage G1 OP up close:



In repair bay guarded by Autobots:



Missiles came with. Only four of the silver ones fit the repair claw thing. Don't know what the others go to. No Gun (the one in that one pick isn't even a transformer gun.). The Matrix of Leadership upgrade kit arrives tomorrow. New pics once that arrives, is unpacked, and is set up. I may repaint the chrome bits that are worn ("battle damage") or maybe not. We'll see.

Nice, man... great to see even Roller was included with it. I've seen fasr too many trailers without Roller.

Thanks man... After looking at the "battle damage" for a few hours and the bottle of Gold tester's hobby paint on my desk...





Matrix of leadership upgrade kit arrives today. At least then he will be complete and we'll have a gun, jet pack, and energon axe.

I probably should've put this response on the mod thread, but the paint job isn't all that great. It does however look better like this than it did with the "distressed" and played with previous appearance. This prime shows me how they do a better job of dying/painting the newer transformers than the originals.

There's one thing my G1 Prime does better than my Voyager Prime does, in Robot Mode:







MORE ARMED AND DANGEROUS. Wait till I get a hold of a Classic Prime and City Commander trailer set.
