Thirteen Primes Project

Postby The_Cryptid_Person » Mon Jul 29, 2019 5:51 pm

!!!Update 2023:
Over the last year, I made a far more definitive custom roster of the Thirteen Primes. While not perfect, I've improved massively as a customizer since the projects featured earlier in this thread and I'm chagrined when I see this very old, mostly repurposing work populate search results.
Here is, more or less, the current lineup:

More images, including alt-modes, in the public imgur album below. Do you think this should be a separate topic or is it fine as is?


More here!

Hey all, I figured this was too big a project to post in the usual "Custom Corner". Over the last two years, I've been planning my unique roster of toys for the Thirteen Primes, from repurposings to true customs. With the exception of the SDCC exclusives, I also detailed the corresponding Prime Master and shell. I'll update the thread as I take more photos of these crazy characters, and edit the top post when I get a proper group photo. To kick things off we have:

Nexus Prime made from PotP Inferno, Blackwing, Dreadwind, CW Wheeljack, Alpha Bravo, Mirage, Victorion, Construct-Bots Wheeljack, RiD Twinferno, and Reprolabels.

Amalgamous(Adaptus?) Prime made from Titans Return Blitzwing, Kup, and entirely too many Construct-Bots

Solus Prime made from RiD Battlemask Windblade and assorted Lego Technic/Bionicle pieces

Liege Maximo repurposed from Timelines Megaplex and Energon Divebombs' weapons.

Motto: "Earthrise restock or riot"
Hm... Not sure how I feel about Solus and Maximo.
Definitely think Nexus and Amalgamous are awesome though.
WANT:
* Cyb. Galvatron key, missiles
* Omega Lock
* Primus Cyber Key, coattail panel
* Powerlinx Comettor
* Leader Sentinel Prime sword, shield
* RiD Galvy dragon head, beast arms
* Leader Ironhide windshield, R hood assy.
* Cyb. Wing Saber left chestplate (argh)

We don't have kings in America

So, I have a couple more of these guys to share. They're pseudo-repurposings, so your mileage may vary.

First off we have Maccadam/Alchemist Prime, a partial repaint of TR Kup with some choice additions. Image Being mostly green/teal, he's more a Maccadam than anything. BUT, I had to make sure he would fit in with the other primes (if such a thing is possible), so he received some Covenant-inspired silver, blue, and orange. Lends the figure some spice. The vehicle mode is Kup with a silver cockpit and gunmetal truckbed. The Prime Master was a blast.

Megatronus is a slightly different concept. He's TR Black Shadow.

At first.
When overwhelmed by the heat of battle, something emerges from within Black Shadow - and it's not a tiny pretender.

THE FALLEN?

Image
It's pretty janky in hindsight, but was a lot of fun to make and adding the fanmode didn't harm Black Shadow's various forms in any way.

Hey anyone reading this, I know it has been a very long time since this thread was created, but I feel I really had to update it. New bots are in the first post!

Reading yes, but no way to like it. I've been asking for a like-button in here a couple of years ago but still no change. I guess that's one of the reasons why "everybody" is on TFW2005.
But great job ;)^
Already liked it "on the other side" :-P

Likes:
new stuff (designs, innovation, character interpretations and evolution), bots with more or less than four limbs, non-humanoid robot modes

Dislikes:
sticking to outdated stuff, ignorance, stubbornness

And I am not a completionist. I buy what I judge being cool to me.
