I built a REAL 20th Aniversary Optimus Prime Trail

Good job. I'd buy it.

As the old saying goes: What's your offer?

 

I have no problem building another for somebody else... But only if it would go to a good home. :thumb

Well I really am sorry, but no. IMO it is just too different of the G1. But at least it is my honest opinion. The sticker on the side is good tough.I am searching furiously for a 1/32 trailer to customize.

That looks very cool.

 

A few years ago, a jumbo-sized bootleg was made of Optimus, and it had a white cab. I wonder if the trailer from that one would work for the 20th anniv. prime.

Good job man!

 

I'm taking time to do mine so i dont mess up on the trailer i'm useing.

I'm hideing the hinges and everyting .

I'm slmost done with my roller. he's remote controland will be able to go up and down the ramp on his own.

 

I finnished the taillights and breaklights so they work via small switchs on the underside.

 

I'm looking for a way to make the repair crane inside the trailer move via remote control as well.

I think i figures a way to open and close the trailer via remote as well but not sure if i can do it due to the size of the mechanics that it needs.

Good job.  I'd buy it.

My question to you is how much it would take. Money is very tight for me, what with gas and collecting and such.

 

But it would go to a good home, I assure you. No one touches my TFs but me, and occasionally my girlfriend. :tfgrin

Hmnnn... Let's see:

 

If I can find the parts...

 

1 trailer: $15.00 (+tax)

1 sticker set: $5.00 (+tax)

Mod pieces: $2.00 (+tax)

 

So it costs about $24.00 in hardware (tax included).

 

Now, It takes about 2 days to make the modifications. The work is not hard, but is easy to damage. I would have to eat the costs if I screw up...

 

There is also wear and tear on tools, but not much though...

 

Finally, there is the matter of shipping. Not sure right now, but I would never ship it without insurance.

 

You would get the cab portion of the tractor-trailer, since you effectivly pay for it... :roll

 

 

So what do YOU guys think would be fair? Post your opinions guys. :thumb

Heh...

 

Didn't think anyone would speak up after I just mentioned parts, let alone work involved...

 

It was still fun to build, perhaps you guys should try it. It can be fun to make things with your own hands, and is something you can show off to your friends later...

 

Have fun!

Impresive!!!

:tfgrin it rocks i would pay £25.00 for it so can you make me one and i will pay your price e-mail me at badhairday666@hotmail.com

thanks ryan gaterell

Looks really good man, personally I would probably go more with a Armada Final Battle Optimus Prime color scheme, but that just me. The red does look good though, and the scale and fit looks perfect. In size relation to Smokescreen it looks on point as far as realism.
