Peterbilt 379 - optimus-prime Vehicle Mode

This beautiful truck would be my first 379 Peterbilt series paper model, and if you are lucky enough, I would have the trailers available too :). Adopted 1/24 scale this 379 is spanning 33.125 cm from its nose to the end its rear wheel cover. Recommended you use 2 type of papers, pages 1-7 you may use glossy paper. Three modified 379s appeared in live-action film "Transformers" as Autobot-leader optimus-prime's vehicle mode.

There was much controversy over this in the Transformers fan community because optimus-prime is almost always portrayed in the various cartoon series as a flat-nose cabover semi-trailer truck (or later as a fire engine); his movie incarnation would be the second with an extended nose conventional cab (following his role in 2002-03's Transformers: Armada). The filmmakers have said that, ignoring the fan-termed "mass shifting" associated with the series, Optimus's final official height of 28ft (almost 10m) in robot mode would not have been possible to allow for all of the mechanics of the CGI model if they had gone with a cab-over, which would have dropped him instead to a smaller 20ft (almost 7m).
