Having been on the top of the world after getting my A Level results on Thursday, I've finally got round to rebuilding (completely from scratch) my G3 Optimus Prime. I was satisfied with the old version, but it wasn't quite what I wanted. This, however, is.

 

[Edit] Newly re-designed model with far better hands and feet![Edit]

 

Lorry Mode:

 

 

Robot mode (there are many influences on this model (aren't there always!). We have G1's legs, ammended G2 arms with Cobra Prime's guns, WWI TF scheme and the head is...well, take your pick):

 

 

 

The Matrix is fully removable, with carefully designed holding compartment:

 

 

And the obligatory action pose, showing off the entire arsenal:

 

 

Stay tuned!

G3...good name..but why i can't see the pics,only 2 crosses

Umm...errr...not sure...thy're hosted at Imageshack, so maybe something's causing problems for you...

Battledeck (version 2.5):

 

 

With tower radiating and guns powered up:

 

 

The repare unit:

 

 

 

Roller! Would you tick him off?

 

 

At the top of the page you will find an updated Prime model with better hands and some brand new special effects!

 

The battledeck will be updated as well.

 

 

Down to business:

 

Jazz:

 

Sportscar mode:

 

 

Robot mode:

 

He's not exactly a fan character, but I've concocted a new bio that sets him in the G3 timeline, and condensed his function to simply 'sniper'.

 

Stepper

 

“A loser is someone who valued means above ends.�

 

Function: Sniper

Alternate mode: Sports car

Bio:

Aloof and acid tongued; Stepper is hardly the sort of person you invite to a party. His somewhat aristocratic nature means that he despises the chaotic nature of normal warfare, preferring the delicate skill and pinpoint accuracy needed for an assassin’s work. His dedication to his craft verges on devotion. Stepper views each kill as a work of art and demands appreciation for it. In almost every way, he is the exact opposite of Blaster, cold and unsociable, violent and systematic. The conflict between their personalities while confined in the same battle group led to a deep-seated hatred of one another that exists to this day.

 

Abilities:

Subject is one of the most highly skilled Cybertronian assassins in existence. He can put a hole through the exact centre of an Earthen coin from a range of roughly five miles. Unique armour acts as both a sensor and heat shield, preventing most forms of detection from locking on to him. In vehicle mode, subject can achieve a respectable but not fantastic speed, as well as being able to deploy a number of anti-personnel weapons. Subject wields a variety of long-range weapons, ranging from laser lances to blade launchers.

 

Weaknesses:

Subject has only average strength and is ill equipped for close combat, despite reasonable competence in this area. Psychological analysis has indicated a detrimental obsession with death and a tendency to be overly self-reliant. He is not a good team player.

 

Car mode:

 

 

Robot mode:

 

 

The next new models will be Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack and Wavelength, but expect updated versions of Blaster and his cassettes to appear soon!

pretty snazzy, glad to hear you did well at your a levels, i myself have just started my second year

These are all vey well made indeed - I'd love to have a go at a few myself, but I've no idea where to start. What packages do you and other 3D renderers use to create these sort of models? Are there any free packages out there?

^To the above -try maya or Blender.

To Librarian: Sweet man! Wish I had those skills, but alas All I can make is cartoon animals.

not bad models, though prime looks a lil starved, i allways imagine prime to be very top heavy and broad. but cummon tell us what your results were ;)

god has it only been 3 years since i finished my a-levels lol
