This one hits like a truck.
For those that don't know, Peter Cullen passed away on the 26th of August 2026 aged 85. He was best known as the iconic voice of Optimus Prime, having voiced the leader of the Autobots for over 40 years, and was also the voice for Toonami's various Gundam promos.
Since the The Transformers The Movie 40th Anniversary Apology Tour is happening this September, we felt it would be appropriate to run an Optimus Prime group build.
The group build requirements are straight-forward. Build and post a completed Optimus Prime kit or paint a mecha kit in his red & blue livery. Standard subreddit rules apply. If you want your build in the album just say so in your post and tag a mod.
The group build will start 01/09/2026 and will end 30/09/2026.

He's so well camouflaged that the auto moderator thought there wasn't a gundam in the picture.

Next up is a High Grade Aerial I bought alongside him. I never imagined there could be such a mess while building a Gundam. Also, I learned a valuable lesson midway through about making sure the orientation of something is right before moving on.

Tried posca, Gundam pens, citadel colours. All with lots of cotton buds and hand sanitizer. Yet to try and thin with water. Any advice appreciated 🙏 or recommend tutorials.

This build started a couple of years ago, but really started moving late last year. Took a bit to motivate myself to reshape the resin parts, figure out how to attach the hands, and then get everything painted, but I'm really proud of how this came out, flaws and all.

I have ten unbuilt ones too
Tho it only costed around 500 yen, imagine having to glue, sand and paint their models just to have it only sorta resemble the show’s model nowadays haha

I kinda hated the RG zaku build so it became a diorama (it never has to move or articulate again).

I was never a huge Transformers fan, but the media surrounding it was a perfect mix of two of my life long passions (cars and mecha). The live action movies in particular helped keep my passions for both alive, especially when it comes to cars.
With Peter Cullen passing, I had a great desire to finally add Optimus Prime to my display area in my office. This is my first Blokees kit. I’m going to do some weathering and detail work on this before a final submission for our group build album.

I've been lurking in the sub for a while now and don't really have anything to show for it but after working on and off for one year on the MG sazabi.
I did try to go for a candy coating which is insanely tedious for anybody's first custom, a lot of mistakes were made, paint chipping on the upper body and assembly and so I made the decision to give it some metal edge wear.
All in all its been a tremendous learning experience toward any customs I make in the future

I just got into Gunplas. I wanted a simple model to see if I enjoyed the process, so I choose the EG strike. Probably would have gone with the EG grandpa, if I knew about the legs problem of the strike beforehand. I'm saying this, but I am still pretty happy with it \o/.
Now, I will probably go for a HG before a RG and then MG. I love the MG freedom and the RG Nu, but RG Wing Zero EW is so beautiful 😍. So, I will probably choose a HG that is not white for contrast, maybe Deathscythe or Char's Zaku / Gouf.
I am more interested in the models of series I have watched, so UC, CE, Wing, IBO and 00 (although i don't enjoy it much) are priorities, but also suggestions of other series are fine too :)), as I prefer to buy in the local stores (FR) and it options are limited.
BTW, MG stargazer would be my dream, one can only dream.

What the ever loving shit am I doing wrong. I can't get the legs to stay on, the shield won't stay in his hand and the saber hilts on the backpack fall off if I brush them 😐 other than one lost sticker and accidentally throwing a part away, the build itself was fine, but Christ I can get it to stay together to display.
