tons of interior details... I like the steering wheel and seats behind the windshield pieces..haha(artistic liberties there)

Awesome encline. You beat me

I got this KO also, WIP (repaint & redo a bit) for weeks.
Mine still remain as toy looks.
I will only to purchase another piece (for truck mode), then I will do custom like yours. I like your prime, how/what you do for the doors & chest?

Yeah man, the KO is a great ko.. Plus it made such a great skeleton for the big Optimus!

I bought a 1/24 scale peterbilt model truck. It will set you back around $80...

Here is some more pics of the feet and the details in the chest.

This is so impressive Incline_Designs
The level of detail and accuracy that goes into something like this. I can't even imagine where to begin. Awesomeness

The styrene work looks great. I hate working with plastic and it hates me.

Re: 18 inch Optimus Prime(w.i.p.)

looks awesome so far man.

Just curious, I haven't heard of this KO Optimus. Where can it be found? I wouldn't mind doing some custom work on it as well instead of fiddling (and possibly ruining) my hasbro leader prime.

Re: 18 inch Optimus Prime(w.i.p.)

Love it!
I wish hasbro or another company would give us Transformers as cool as yours.
