What is the ugliest truck version of prime anyone has seen? Got any pics? I'll have mine available soon. :shock:

Hands down Armada Prime! From the squatty flattened out cab and the"what the hell is that supposed to be?" trailer to the god awfull pipe organ head that's only prime looking because it's blue.

Boy are you right. That is definitely Ugly. I was just thinking about how ugly that head is 2 days ago, because of the head I was working on for this new bash.
What I was really looking for was specifically truck mode. Like Energon, but more so Repaint/Kitbash Primes that have horrendous truck modes. I'm bashing Unicron into Prime, and I think I may have the ugliest truck ever when I'm finished. So, if anyone has pics of their favorite ugly truck let me see. Call it an ugly truck competition for bragging rights.

Here is Truck mode 90% complete.

WHere are all theese crazy ideas coming. Just saw vector prime into swoop now Unicron into prime and he actually turns into a truck. BTW that truck actually looks 100 times better than what i imagined a truck made from unicron could be. Reminds me a little of classics prime's truck mode(deluxe version which will be in the two pack with the wierd rotor arm tank megatron ). But shouldnt his thighs be grey and his lower legs blue rather than the way yo uhave it?

Well, yes and no. I wanted an obvious Optimus, but I also wanted my own touch. The truck mode looks alot better from the side, but I am still working on the front. I just can't seem to figure out exactly what I want to do with it. You want to see robot mode? I used powermaster Primes head with some modifications. Those are PMPrimes black guns as the smokestacks.

dude THATS AN AWSOME IDEA!!!!!

i can't wait to see that finished

Nice! one thing why keep the original feet? the hindge allows the feet to fold back onto the legs why not have the wheels on the legs and get some new feet on him, he;d look like Gargoyle Prime otherwise.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention Battle Station Mode. Still working on massive gun. This is already my favorite Prime, of course it is my first Optimus Bash. It is too late for me to take a bunch of pics of 3 different modes.(baby sleeping) I am finished with Optimus, wish you could see him. Now I need a custom box. :mrgreen:

by **AndreyOfDoom** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 12:09 am

wow a battle mode!! I like this custom.

by **Ramrider** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 4:35 am

Wow. That is actually genius. I can't believe you've managed to turn a planet (sort of) into a truck. I can't wait to see this thing finished!

I don't want to say too much. I'll probably be finished tomorrow. The feet really work great in all modes. You'll understand when you see the finished pics. The feet are actually needed in truck mode. I was finished, but I decided to change the back wheels. The pic you see is a sort of tank, not attached. the finished product will have permanent wheels.

by **Ramrider** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 3:45 pm

Blimey, that does look cool. Hurry up, Dev, we want to see the gallery! :wink:

by **AceBaur Prime** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 4:33 pm

Wow!

I look forward to larger pics.

I've got a trailer to bash, but it is too much G1 for this Optimus. Once you see the gallery though you may not think he needs a trailer. Maybe not. I know he is not perfect and I may end up doing a few more mods, especially on the cab windows. For now they are what they are, but it would not be too hard to change them completely. The shoulders are not perfect either. I tried some shoulder pads, but didn't like them. So for now it is finished. I'll have to see what everyone thinks about the gallery. Maybe someone will have some good suggestions.
I do like the fact that this Optimus is the largest Transforming Truck I've seen. If there are any other Supreme Transformer bash/ modification/ repaints out there I would love to see them. Does anyone know? If you have any links or pics please post them.

It's just me posting on top of my own post. Maybe I'll try and turn one of the other Supreme figures into Megatron. I bet it can be done. I don't know which one though. Any thoughts?
