Custom G.I. Joe Rolling Thunder Optimus Prime Transformer

RTOP01
HISSTank.com member encline has undertaken a massive project resulting in this custom G.I. Joe Rolling Thunder Optimus Prime Transformer crossover.

"I used an original rolling thunder, some larger TF JOINTS, and a TON of styrene....This was a huge learning process. I know that the base/trailer is not accurate to the original rolling thunder, but I wanted to capture the feel of G1 PRIME, while maintaining the rocket base."

First, I would REALLY like to thank TTT and all the folks here at HISSTANK for all the awesome comments and suggest while this was in the long w.i.p. stages!

A mini comic is going to be coming later that I have been writing with my buddy Aprim from Primo's customs. It is going to include The Transformers after the event of the animated movie. The direction will be what could have happened if Prime were not killed and Megatron did not become Galvatron. Matt Trakker and M.A.S.K. will be assisting the G.J. JOES in new tech that can transform vehicles to defense systems. G.I. JOE is no longer just REAL AMERICAN HEROS, but has now become a much larger network of those fighting to protect the innocent.!

Matt Trakker has magnets on his arms that allow him to become a powermaster and attach to primes stomach.

Snake eyes comes with two heads, the original resolute head and a more g1 type head...

Thanks for looking...

Wow, Amazing It is a shame that hasbro does not take online orders and make people pay ahead for big items such as this, 25th ver Flagg, Headquarters, Terror Drome.

If your ever make a Mega Trone use a combination of Terror Drome and the Night Raven as the Head. Or the BuGG

OK I just got back from the post office...you should receive my rolling thunder in 7-12 days...try and be home to sign for it...also i packed plenty of money to fund the project...it took quite a while but i managed to find all of the "gold" 500 bills i also through in some "yellow 100s" "blue 50s" and of course that huge stack of "green 20s" let me know if you want the "10s" i wasn't sure if you'd need em as you've a "ton" of money...i didn't think you'd want the "pink 5s" but they're yours if you want em



if you skipped that message let me sum it all up for you:

" I FUCKING WANT ONE!"
Mainframe:
Sweet Jesus.....
ResoluteDuke:
Seriously, how did you make that?


And how long did it take you?
