3 things:

First: Great freaking job. It looks amazing

Second: Wrong forum... kinda: http://seibertron.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=9&sid=

Third: Can you edit your post and put (Pic Heavy) in your title? This thread nearly crashed my labtop.

Splendidly awesome! If they'd gone with that look for the Movie... nah, I still wouldn't have liked it. :lol: But goddamn if I'm not now considering picking up a Prime to repaint.

wow great repaint. but did you have to do such a better job than the guys getting paid hollywood money to design a cool looking Optimus Prime? I don't think I can buy a Hasbro version of this toy now unless they make it half as cool as this one.

totally blows the original away! i don't like the movie figures at all but that looks incredible. just goes to show how stupid the flames were. good job x.

Wow very impressive. Makes it look like a real version of the Semi-Trailer in the movie.

Great old school paint job. But I still hate the movie version of leader class optimus prime. I will stick with the voyager/robo-vision version.

I'm sure there will be many argue, but this puts the Chrome contest prize to shame in my opinion.

I'm glad you shared.

Nice. I liked the flames, but a straight red cab woulda looked great.

Now that is one nice repaint.

In alt mode with the trailer hitched it looks like a top end scaled model, not a transformer.

Your repaint makes me want the Hasbro G1 based repaint all the more.

that is simply amazing. I wish I had the money to buy another set of movie transformers so I could repaint all of them. Amazing job again.
