New York Optimus Prime
Coming soon!
My most complex exoskeleton yet!



"This isn't extinction.  This is entertainment!"


Parts acquisition began a long time ago!
The newer Optimus looks like a knight in armor.
Though no longer vehicular-looking, Optimus is streamlined but very detailed & layered.
Finding all the right shapes to populate his very complex body is a challenge!   No more wheels!
I expect him to be 550 hours' work, and to weigh 150 lbs. before sword & shield.
His look changed slightly  in 'Transformers: The Last Knight', so that's what version I am building.








"Good luck, Peter Kokis."

His head will be in 'Battle Mode', as a full face would be too fragile.

People continue to photograph me as I walk away, so the look of his back is important.





I am building the 'Knight' version of Optimus.

See you all soon!
