6.5" Transformers Hearts of Steel Optimus Prime

Hi guys,

I am not sure where do I post this, but two fellow members, sabsabby85 and griffith76 of our Singapore Fan Forum (http://www.tf.sg) has recently done a custom of Hearts of Steel Optimus Prime. Just thought I'd share the appreciation of such nice works here with everyone.

This is actually an improved 6.5 inches tall figure which has a split in the legs which the older 10" one didn't have.

More of the pictures could be found here: TF.SG = Hearts of Steel and here sabsabby85's blog and griffith76's blog

Some of the pictures are actually here for you to see:

Cheers!

That is awesome!

I love train-formers, but a steam train-former is even better.

I think this definitely falls into the 'Hasbro/Takara hire the services of this person quickly' category.

Please spot the difference before commenting.

Griffith has told me it this new project of his is of 6.5" and the old thread which you posted was of 10".

And since you are asking if it is the same or not:

Here are the differences for you to spot:

1) ladder of the larger one is separate, smaller one is a whole solid block

2) there's a split in the arm of the large one, non in the smaller one

3) a split in the leg of the small one, none in the larger one

4) the details of the chest of the larger one is a little faded

5) gun barrel of large one splits into 2, solid tube for the smaller one

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Looks pretty much the same to me minus the trailer. :-B

Transformers + Locomotives = Must buys.

As long as I do not have to sell off my body organs to afford it, I'll be getting one of these, HoS was a nifty story and the aesthetic of the Designs have been captured masterfully in this figure.

It's a great design. I like the rivets and details. It's amazing how the creator taught himself and used the computer to create the parts.

Depending how much he is talking, I wouldn't mind buying it as long as its under $100. Wish he would release a Megatron Hearts of Steel kit. :-?

I'll second that but somehow I'm less than hopeful ;)

I can totally do without an expensive trailer/armor for my Ultra Magnus, but dammit, I want an Optimus Prime steam engine. Will watch the progress on this.

That Optimus looks awesome. I must buy. And now I shall pray for HOS Shockwave & Starscream. And a small Ravage would be cool too. :grin:

The original version is being made by CyberFembot, http://cyberfembot.com/CustomToys/FerrumCarboMaster/FerrumCarboMaster.htm

I have 2 on order from him. They aren't cheap, but I think that they are worth every penny. Of course now I'm probably going to have to buy the new version too. I need a second job to feed my Transformers habit...
