I made this after seeing ones on ebay...as a metal artist and Transformers fan I figured it was my duty! It is constructed from 6061 aircraft grade aluminum and TIG welded all the way around. I had the print laser printed on clear vinly and applied it directly over the triple grinded surface. I wnt to do another that is actually laser etched. I put it on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0143167084 to see how close to the $40,000 mark I can get.

Sonray is right. How the hell can Paramount do this? Isn't capitalisim supposed to stop sh*t like this, and give rights to people like artists!

nice box. must say i am really upset that paramount pictures is obviously so hard-up for cash that they have to be such big whiny cry-babies about this. there goes my plans of mashing up tons of tin-foil into vaguely humanoid shapes and selling it as megatron statues then.
