Custom Movie Transformers Optimus Prime by sainte_786

Transformers customs are definitely on fire on eBay! I would speculate more so due to the superb attention to detail by the talented customizers out there and the general lack of supply of the toys themselves in stores.

sainte_786's latest custom is a Transformers Movie Optimus Prime and there are some very special additions to this figure. First, he added a "real toy miniaturized metal bullets ammo belt" which adds an additional level of detail missing from most Custom Optimus Primes on eBay. Second, the power sword is a weapon that Prime uses to destroy Bonecrusher in an epic battle that spans a long stretch of freeway by delivering the final blow between the chest and the neck. He goes on to say, "The flames were hand painted on the inner sides of the legs...the plasma sword is actually a translucent orange and I made the fist cover to hold it in place which snaps over Prime's fist like a glove and the sword goes in the space and fits very tightly.


My favorite addition to this custom has to be the ammo belt and if you look at the picture above, there is a bullet at Prime's feet. Take a closer look at the level of detail on the ammo belt:
This Prime ranks very high on my list of must have customs. Bid on sainte_786's Custom Optimus Prime on eBay or if you would like to find other custom Transformers, please check out my ActionFigureCustoms.com website.
