Description Here is an old Optimus Prime render from 2002. Was digging this up before but didn't find it till now. Modeled in good old 3D Max.

The design was based off a drawing I came up with. I thought at the time it was a cool looking update and different enough to make it my own design/style.

wow, come such a long way in 6 years or so

I mean, this is still excellent work,but it doesnt hold a candle to your new stuff (and its missing all the masochistic detailing, lol)

Haha, yeah, it still holds up. Actually, I noticed a lot of people are faving this piece. It most be still good. I opened up a couple of my old models in Max, and some of them seem to be intact. I might try to do some new renders if I get a chance, especially with Bruticus.

Despite the awesome greatness of this piece, you have come a long way.

Though I do say the scruff marks on him makes him very detailed and more realistic. You should try that with City/Shadow/Powered Commander (if you haven't done so).

Thanks! I actually started to unwrap the UVs on my Classics Prime, so I can paint texture maps on him. From the test renders I did, it will look better then this old piece for sure.
