Nice Goki, I think Rodimus Primal works quite well for that otherwise horrible repaint IMO - Have you thought about giving him some fiction?

[GoktimusPrime]

Yup.

I remember reading those when I first stumbled upon your site, back when it was on Geocities (I think, that or it was a yahoo based site). Loved those profiles, and your Star Wars Crossover profiles as well.

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah, sadly I've lost most of those. I should re-write them some time.

Optimus Prime going commando... (not like that, don't be gross!)






A photo of Rescue Bots Optimus Prime as taken by my 2.5 year old daughter.

...her first of hopefully many more Transformer photos to come!

Funny story about this picture... when I was taking that photo of TF Prime Optimus Prime in robot mode with the gun pointed toward the camera, my daughter kept on trying to shove Rescue Bot Optimus Prime into the shot! She wanted me to take a picture of both Primes, but I only wanted to take a picture of one... so she had her Optimus Prime lined up next to mine, but of course, I only really photographed TF Prime Optimus Prime -- but here's a less cropped version of the photo where you can see Rescue Bot Optimus Prime trying to be shoehorned into the photo!



It was after that I decided to let her take a photo of Rescue Bot Optimus Prime herself! Of course, she needs to learn to not touch the lens with her grubby fingers!!

Mucking around with Junkheap today, I made this up.



Here are larger versions of each shot unobstructed by those arrows.


Propping himself on the rear leg with "shielded" side facing toward the opponent, axe ready to swing down


Stepping into a forward stance, rotating waist and bringing the shield-arm covering outward while swinging the axe across


Turning into a crouched position while axe continues to swing upward


Stepping up with axe in upper position


Stepping right through and following the axe into a downward chop ending in a forward crouch


Finish


Places axe away


End

@Goki: Your martial arts knowledge really is to your credit when posing figures dude, with the right camera angles and lighting you'd have some truly exquisite shots man.
(Not that these aren't any good, as I know they're more utilitarian than arty )

Cheers Hursti.
