OP - 04 Sleep Convoy Optimus Prime inspired Lego Transformer Pic 2 by BWTMT Brickworks
In North America, in the summer of 1986, those of us who are old enough to remember have never forgotten the slaughter of innocent Autobots and our first Transformer toys by the hands of the ruthless Megatron, his Decepticons and Hasbro Execs wanting to sell us a new wave of Transformers toys. We saw cartoon violence in a new light – before the desensitisation of violence in cartoons seen today. Heroes never died… did they? The most profound impact of this loss of innocence was the death of one of our heroes…. Optimus Prime. His death scene in the 1986 movie has scarred a generation of original Trans Fans and erupted in a cry (quite literally) to Hasbro to bring back our hero… This is my homage to this moment in Transformer Fandom history.
This Lego Sleep Convoy (Dead Optimus Prime, Zombie Optimus whatever you want to call him) is a modified design of my OP-04 G1 Lego fully transforming Optimus Prime design complete with battle damage modifications, repair bay bed and vital sign monitor. I am thinking this will make a great display for Brickfete this year with his legoformer comrades surrounding him. What do you think?
