Optimus prime would not be a cabover design

cabovers are the flatnose semis

no, it is for Prime. just the Original one

preview

you guys know how anal I can be about the little details of stuff. I'm just trying to get some good numbers on the actual dimensions of the cab and stuff. I was hoping to find some sort of diagrams or even patent sketches and stuff.

I have more than plenty ref images and stuff to work from, but you know how it is "never enuff" lol

oh! very cool! I never realized he was a cabover before - sweet

I take it you've never seen this animation before?

from 3dblasphemy?

take the time to d/l the 70m one, they are all the same length but its worth it for the high res.

OPTIMUS PRIME

i showed this to my kid back when the "official" test rendering animations was "leaked" when they were working on the 2007 film and he just freaked
