Model Idea: OPTIMUS PRIME

Well... yeah... Optimus Prime. Theres an idea for you modellers out there. I'd try to do it, but I'm still a newb at modelling.

Theres many forms of Optimus because of all the different Transformers sagas, but no matter what form, it'd be awesome.

And extremely hard. Transformers are defnitely one of the most intricate things. It would be a big undertaking (to make it look good), but would be awed if it was finished

No, a TF would be easy. Especially Optimus. He's like, four cuboids and some cylinders for his exaust pipes. Original Op was all boxy and stuff, he'd be pretty easy. Only the face would be tough at all. If I had any modelling programs, I'd give it a whack.

u can mod the seige golem to look like optimus

Yeah, but cuboid Optimus Prime wouldn't do Optimus any justice. Look at the TF Armada version of Optimus, that's where the money is. He should be kickass and have better proportions than the regular Optimus.

So would anyone try the Original Optimus and/or the TF Energon Optimus? Energon Op has 4 lil connectors to each of his arms and legs, a helicopter, a fire engine, and submarine, and a digger (based on the four elements- air, fire, water, and earth- I believe)

Would anyone make the the full model of the original Optimus, with both robot mode AND vehicle? Theres a few pics of him transforming at some fan sites, so an understanding of what parts go where would help.

BLASPHEMER! THAT'S NOT REAL TRANSFORMERS! Only good thing about Armada was that they made a Unicron toy for it... and PowerMaster Op could take Armada Op easily. He'd be the best (and probably easiest) to model.

Try gMax, free version of 3dsMax, get it at discreet's website www.discreet.com/products/gmax :D

I can't; I'm on dialup. It takes like 4 hours to dl that. :(

just start the dl before you go to sleep. Unless you pay as you go for internet time.

I tried that, but AOL keeps giving me these BS errors like "Disconnected from server, unable to process" whenever I try to download big stuff. I hate AOL.

modeling a transformer wouldnt be too hard, the only thing is to animate him... and i dont mean walking, but transforming!

Nah, it'd just look like collapsing inward, then replace with a "bear form" type truck unit.

try making a Optimus Prime that can Morph into a truck when it use Morph skill, or it can do backward(from truck to robot)
