RC Optimus Prime from Tamiya

‘lofty401’, a new member on our forum, posted the following video from YouTube showing a custom Optimus Prime made from a Tamiya RC truck.

  1. Hey, thanks for reposting this ^^ If anyone is interested in buying the kits or just some info for this model, just throw us an email via the gas cupboard website 🙂 (gascupboard.co.uk) which is the shop where this was filmed ^^

    We’re actually planning on making more in 1/10th scale (this is 1/14th I believe) – Bumblebee, Sideswipe and potentially more 😀 If anyone has any suggestions about what they’d like to see i’d be glad to hear them ^^

    Cheers all =)
