Title: 3D Transforming Optimus Prime

Date Completed: August 2010

Design: Lord Libidan/Paper Robots 1999

Count: 14

Canvas: Plastic

Colours: 6

Show: Transformers

After fiddling around with plastic canvas, I wanted to do something a little different, and to push boundaries a little. I always loved fiddling with my brothers generation 1 transformer toys and it started from there. Its based on the original toy series, so transforms into a Peterbilt style semi-tractor.

It uses wire (paper clips) to move the joints.

This is my best piece in my mind so far, and have started making a second transformer Jetfire, and have plans for Soundwave and Starscream which can be found on my etsy.
