CUSTOM OPTIMUS PRIME & PACKAGING

JimSmash Reader LOUIS BERNAL made another badass custom Transformer with packaging: OPTIMUS PRIME!

He posts:

The new Generations Autobot Scoop figure reminds me so much of the very awesome and very classic Transformers Armada "Bendy" Optimus Prime figure. I decided to customize Autobot Scoop so that it would resemble Optimus Prime.

Besides repainting the figure, I made a few physical changes to the toy. I removed the wheels. I trimmed off excess plastic on the lower legs. I reversed the upper arms and added smoke stacks.

For the weapons, I used Generations Orion Pax's blaster gun. The sword was taken from the 3rd party Junkion Blacksmith "Infinity Warfare" set. The shield was custom made from a wing panel from Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave.

The figure was painted with Model Master lacquer and Testors enamel. The figure was not clear coated.

I custom designed the package and drew the Optimus Prime artwork. I thought it would be fun to give it a "classic" look in celebration of the "Thrilling 30" theme.

Thank you for checking this out. I hope you like it.

BADASS CUSTOM NAUTICA TRANSFORMER & PACKAGING

JimSmash Reader LOUIS BERNAL is a badass artist and toy sculptor/customizer. Check out this NAUTICA he put together!

He posts:

I've become a big fan of the IDW Transformers comic books, especially the "Dawn of the Autobots" story. I like the character Nautica a lot. I know that Hasbro has a Windblade figure out and Arcee and Chromia coming out in the near future, but I couldn't remember if Hasbro was going to make a Nautica figure.

So, I went ahead and made my own. She's not accurate to the comic book -- she's missing her visor and helmet antenna. I frankenstein'd her from different 'bots --> the torso and legs are from AOE Slug, the head is Generations Skids, the arms are from movieverse Bumblebee, the wings are from movieverse satellite Soundwave, and the wrench is from Animated Ratchet.

I drew the box art to reflect my custom toy. And the rear box's text is taken from the comic (edited).

Thanks for checking this out. It was a fun project, hope you like it...
