Goktimus Prime

I should make more Famous Covers. ;) (View All)

...I had this rather lengthy conversation with a Japanese Transfan last week over why Hasbro had to use the "Rodimus" name instead of "Hot Rod"... it's just unheard of in Japan. :P

Mike: Great photography! hwry: another famous cover! great stuff!

That's why you buy them when they're on sale. You snooze you lose. :P

Famous Screenshots - cool! It's nice to see my "Famous Covers" idea spawning off into something new. :) Keep it up!

Downshift looks like he's doing a Disco Stu. ;) AAAAAAARGH! Optimus Prime is coming to illegally invade my country!!

Ya know, when Pretenders first came out in 1988, I often thought, "these are pretty crap disguises... not only would they be too big to be human, but nobody dresses like that!" And I never really put much thought into it since then... Of course, Masterforce gave us the answer for the size issue (good old fashioned mass-shunting) and it finally clicked a few months ago -- of course! The Autobot Pretenders are supposed to be Space Marines!! DUH!! *Captain Obvious Classic!* They were even portrayed that way in G1, especially in Matrix Quest Part Four. So I decided to do this little shot... trust Grimlock to go toe-to-toe with a Zerg Hydralisk! Although the Pretenders' armour are pretty brightly coloured (although no brighter than some of the stuff you see in Warhammer) they do seem to blend in with other Space Marine figures such as the Starcraft Terran and Halo dude you can see in the same shot... ;)

Lazerblast: Kudos for pulling off such a cool pose using a toy with such limited articulation! :)

yeah, it's all that was left of a bowl of green-tea ice cream. ;)

Disco Downshift: *burrrrp*

For those who may not have seen this thread before: Famous Covers :)

KodaFrenzy: that's cool!!

Try it again, but take two shots - one with the toy, and one without. Then use the blank shot as a background template to fill in where that white stand is so it gives the illusion of flying. I did something similar with the Decepticon jets in my "More Than Meets The Eye" photocomic... mine looks Blot because I do all my 'tarded effects on MS Paint (I really need to learn how to use Photoshop some day), but you get the idea. I'd shot both these toys sitting on top of boxes to elevate them off the "ground" surface, and later cropped and pasted the background wall from a blank slate shot.

Yeah, I saw some sticky stuff so I cleaned it. Someone here is getting a little too happy looking at these pics...

"Family" photos. ;)

I agree with DarkNarco... Laser Prime's been around for 11 years now, and I for one have long since considered him to be the best OP toy ever made. The reissue colours look cool.

Hey Constructicon, if you like pics of TFs getting drunk, then you might enjoy this! ;D
