Here’s something you don’t see everyday. The folks at the Yexel Toy Museum in the Philippines have created a 1:1 scale bust of Transformers Movie Optimus Prime, complete with NEST themed room and a catwalk so you can walk around his head! The set construction and actual Optimus Prime upper body look stunning, movie quality for sure. Check out some pics, and then head on over to their Facebook page to see other life size replicas from movies!

Those pics are amazing, would love the chance to walk around Optimus. Great job… the only thing about his face plate, it makes him seem so sad, not sure what's missed/added, but that's just the 'expression' I'm seeing. Still beautiful work.

Hopefully someday i can visit the toy museum too bro, just an FYI guys according to interview it takes him 45,000$ for him to finish that optimus. Sometimes its easy to justify collecting whenever i heard someone spend like this on their collection lols.

That's pretty cool. Too bad I'm not close enough to go see it.

Yea, definitely way bigger than life size. Still very neat.

Because he realized what monster he has become.

That, is really damn cool. @_@
I'm getting an Evangelion vibe from it for some reason.

Impressive!

That may be bigger than 1:1 scale, but it's pretty awesome nonetheless.

I wish I could see it in person as it looks great; wonder if they'd do a full Jetwing Optimus >XD. I'd also love to see them make a lifesized ROTF Megatron.
To be fair it's a false observation as the guy wasn't actually complaining. And I'm inclined to agree with him; if they could make something this cool for movie stuff than they could certainly do something this cool for G1.

That museum looks really cool.
Oh…Please Don't. Those trucks look gorgeous they don't deserve that kind of fate.

That's not a complaint, that's an observation.

Easiest way to have gotten the scale right would have been to chop up one of the actual trucks he's made from. Problem solved.

Looking at this pic from ROTF, I think the problem might be that Optimus' torso, and the smoke stacks sticking up from it, are out of scale with his head.
Edit: Or it might just be the different angle in this pic.

Probably how in TF4 Cade holds a piece of Optimus' head and the respective piece is so much bigger on this bust.
Purple Heart
All he really has left is his face.
Prime Jetscream
That's a big truck.

Well according to some scale charts, Prime's approximately 34-36 feet tall.

I've got both that Matrix and Allspark that are pictured. They are indeed pretty cool.
