Nice work, James.
This version is definitely an improvement over version 1. The
transformation is very cool and dead-on to the toy's, though I see it's much
more flexible :)
Your rendition of the Matrix is pretty darn good (I've been struggling to
come up with a good design, and the chrome bowl piece never crossed my mind).
One bit that bothers me, though - he's really skinny! He's got a lanky,
basketball-player thing going on, while I think of prime as more of a
linebacker's build. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't look bad, just...
beanpoley. Have you thought about going 8-wide in vehicle mode? I think he'd
be more toy-accurate, as the toy truck is almost cubic in its proportions.
Just a thought.
Anyway, good stuff as usual. Oh! I just noticed the hinges on the trailer
- any chance of a look inside?

PS: is that a spark crystal in his butt-mailbox? Kind of an embarrassing
place to keep one's very essence :)
PPS: It's interesting to see the direction you took with Prime's head. I'm
working on one at the same scale, and it's neat to see the similarities and
differences in the two designs.
