First thing to note here, is sadly enough, optimus cannot transform, (I tried to make it so it could at first, but it didn't turn out good), but I do have to say he is one of my greatest MOCs yet.I based him off of the Movies, and so yes, I did make the Jetfire armor that can be put on him, but I'll get to that in a second.small_optimus.jpgHe took me the longest time to build over probably any other creation I've ever done, but he's also the most worth it. (sorry for any blurry photos, I don't have the best camera ever)Close-up of front:http://www.brickshel...formers/043.jpgBack shot:http://www.brickshel...formers/044.jpgHis internal head design:http://www.brickshel...formers/045.jpgaction Pose with sword and cannon: http://www.brickshel...formers/049.jpgTransformation to Jetfire Armor!: http://www.brickshel...formers/050.jpgThe Jetfire armor does take a bit to put on, because you have to take off his shins (which are connected to his feet), take off his lower arms, then attach his hands to the jetfire armor lower arms, put on the Jetfire lower legs, snap the shoulder armor to his upper arms, and connect the wings to his back. Quite the proccess, but it looks awesome when it's done.Her he is, in all his glory!: http://www.brickshel...formers/054.jpgA closer look at his Jetfire sword arm: http://www.brickshel...formers/052.jpgA closer look at his cannon arm (the barrel of which can be removed for fist fights, but still has a smaller machine gun on the side): http://www.brickshel...formers/053.jpgPlease comment and criticize. I hope you like it!

Nice. A main problem is how there is two shades of red & two shades of blue. (At least, I think so. The picture quality doesn't help.) The ball socket sticking out of his upper arms is also a con. The windows on the chest don't look quite right, they go down too far. A few clear bricks could be used instead.~DD

I like it. My only critique is that I think he his shoulders should be wider, and that those windows don't quite work for him. I think they make his upper torso look too small compared to his legs. Nice job none the less, I tried mocing Optimus a few times, and it wasn''t easy, especially the head, which I think you did a great job off.MTL

This looks very cool. I could be nitpicky and pull up a pic of Optimus and put it side by side and start pointing out differences, but I'll go with the strong points:First, you very much capture the Bayformer (Is that what the kids are calling it these days?) look of being cluttered yet coherent at the same time. The head is spectacular. The only thing I would change would be (with unlimited access to every single piece created) to make him able to transform into a truck, as well as making it easier for the Jetfire armor to snap on. Other than that, fantastic MOC.
