Optimus Prime Transformer - in Maple

[Jim Underwood]

Nice...

Always wanted to do a robot myself. Too Cool!

[Larry Frank]

I just have to add my WOW to the others. An incredible piece of work!

[Ben Martin]

Wowing in as well, that is just awesome!

Any chance I could get those Pro-E files?

[johnny means]

How long from start until finish? Did you work on it exclusively or was it the type of thing that came out on a lazy Sunday morning?

BTW great job.

[Craig Thompson]

simply put... with 80's twang... swwweeeeetttttt

[Garrett Ellis]

thats awesome!! would you consider making and posting a video of the transformation??

[Bill Edwards(2)]

Very cool!

(sorry, even my son's grew up in the 70's)

[Jon Agnew]

What the what??? You're my new hero.

[Julian Nicks]

Now that is Coollllll!!!! I bet that was a blast to build. Way to bring back your childhood memories.

[Bryan Slimp]

Could it be scaled up to put two LCDs in for the windshield? Since you've built one you can only get faster making another one.

[Jason Strauss]

Flippin' Sweet!!!

[Chris Kennedy]

Pretty amazing. I am very impressed. I'm not certain which I want more -- to make such a project or have the time to make such a project.

[Carl Babel]

Awesome!

I like your choice of dye over paint and letting the wood grain be visible.

Any thoughts about how you follow that up?
- Bumblebee?
- Full size OP (with some corporate sponsorship - I can't even imagine how much the wood would cost)?

[David Bowes]

I bought the toy of Bumblebee. Rather than making him as some boring coupe, I thought of modeling him after an Audi TT. Sorry GM.

Optimus was a huge challenge, but most of him consists of straight lines. Trying to do the contours of a modern vehicle would be a fun challenge. Time to buy a spoke shave.

[Don Bullock]

That is way beyond amazing!!

Very nicely done.

Well said!!
