A no-brainer, had to be done. I'm surprised we haven't seen a ton of these already. Thanks to the almighty Jin for pointing us in the right direction for an in-scale tanker trailer. (1:43 'Fast Lane' utility hauler from TRU). I apologize now for so many pics.

The head is from the Classics deluxe Optimus/Megs 2-pack. I removed that cross from the forehead vent (HATED that!!), sanded the sides down a little and whittled away some of the plastic around his face mask, for a more Prime like look. I added an extra sword (if anyone needs a junker of this mold, holla!). The swords and the wfront windows were painted with Testors Model Master Clear Red. I modded the trailer to split at the center, added a cannon emplacement (cannon can be hand held) and turned the front of the tank into a shield. The tanker interior has a tab to hold the extra sword.

Most of the metal accents are painted with Testors Model Master Metalizer paint, giving it a nice metal look and feel. The flames on the hood and the tanker were painted on (not decals). LED's are installed into the headlights with switches located under his arms, batteries are replaceable. Phew!!! Enjoy!

I love this so much. Scourge was my favorite character when I was a kid.

That is soo cool. I am going to do the same when I finish a couple of other customs first, but you are right, as soon as I held this figure in hand all I thought of was Nemesis. In fact, he never went on my Autobot shelf, he went straight to the 'Cons shelf. :APPLAUSE:

:APPLAUSE: Epic! Just made more so by the oil tanker trailer. And I really like what you've done with the head! The only reason I haven't bought Generations G2 Prime is that his head looks kind of monster-ish. This one patches it up nicely. Great job! :APPLAUSE:
