View Full Version : Dak's Nova Prime (WIP)
Here's my version of Nova Prime, still a WIP. Just trying to get the base down for now, then going to sculpt the details, and make it look a little more like the character. What you see is the truck with out the trailer/armor.

The rear wheels have been added on to the arms, there is a head for Basic mode, the knees have been re adjusted for better proportions in super and basic modes and work on the grill/basic mode feet has been started. After the feet, I believe my next task will be to beef up the shoulder pads and make them more "Nova" looking.
Also a note, I have decided to give the character the head sculpts of the original designs. maybe when the project's done I'll create a head based on the comic version, but right now it's all going to be based on Don's sketch.
Enjoy
This shows work started on the front grill

Update.
Here's what the robot mode looks like. Proper shoulder pads have been added. This pic is actually a little old as there has been more detail work done to the chest and legs. but for now here it is. Also I have finished work on the super mode head, based on the Concept design. I shall show you that one later. :P

Impressive as always Dak. Very interested in seeing how it will look completed in supermode and how you'll turn that into a trailer.
Update Time:
Major detail has happened on the legs/Front of the truck. The grill has been added, which turn into the feet. A heel still needs to be added.

Looks like Animated Optimus.
in some respects I do agree with you. It needs the nova colors to make it look right.

I'd say this was necrothreaded, but Nova Prime is frickin awesome and I must have missed this in progress thread the first time around.
