Well, I don't know how many you are out there are Transformers collector... but I'm but this ebay bid is just crazy....

http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-OPTIMUS-PRIME-T...1QQcmdZViewItem

You have to remember, this figure cost only about $10. and it's not one of those hard to find item....

But I must say, this guy knows how to paint...

 

Man back in the day of original run Transformers I used to have all of them bad boys. I figured they might be worth something some day but I had more fun playing and didn't want to keep them in a box.

 

i have an OG circa 87' optimus prime, red and blue. its tucked safely away in my parents basement. i remember the day my pops bought it for me a KB toys!

 

Looks cool in humanoid form. But what the hell is it supposed to be when transformed? Does he transform into a scale model of his own turd?

 

Great paint job! Very cool.

 

the transformed shape is the "comet" form

what he fell to earth in

all the transformers have a protoform (it is what they are before they decide to disguise themselves as something else).

 

Thanks for that spot of Transformers lore.

hahaha, but this "turd" will cost you $400 I never give thougths about this figure, until now.....

 

I think the comet looks like a turd.

 

If I kept all my Transformers in the box, I could make an easy $100k on ebay. Sadly, most of them have missing legs, heads, arms, weapons, etc. They're so easy to break. Oh yeah, and my mom gave them all to my cousins when I moved away for college!
