    That looks AWESOME! I noticed you got lights, are you going to do any soundclips of him speaking to put on a CD and play that night or something?

    I'm hoping to have a lifesize projection of Megatron where him and Prime exchange words, something like "No Megatron you cannot have the humans candy" and then they banter back and forth a bit.

    That would be awesome. :)

    What are you planning on using for the projector? It might also be cool if you can get his eyes to blink while he's talking. :)

    His waist and both legs are left to do. Maybe a piece on his back if I have time.

    I still have to build Bumblebee and Ironhide costumes as well.

    Nope. :)

    I think I've almost got her convinced to build something, but not sure what, yet. Not much time left...

    Just so you get an idea of how big Prime is, as pictures dont really do him justice, here is the nose piece that was the complete width of the Shuttlecraft's main body. It now has become part of his leg.

    I say again: Dang. Newberg ain't that far away. I'm gonna at least have to a drive by sometime and see this monster in person.

    Wow, I had no idea he was going to be standing like he was fixing to start running, that adds a lot to the experience!

    Yeah? Thanks! I was bound and determined to NOT have him just standing there. It had to be something interesting to put the time into.

    Love the feet - very clever thinking, they're just the right shape!

    I know! I filled the gaps in with foam and they came out perfect! The funny thing is that the green bin was in my garage, and there was an Autobot tshirt in it that I was given last Christmas. So it was meant to happen it seems.
