auto knights.. go with that one.. the paintjob in the vid looks better than the pics well done

They are awesome, well done!

the one to the sargeants right looks the most like OP

Roll out!

Whoa. Is the chapter lead by Optimus Primarch?

So cool!

Those are fantastic, I have to go with Prime Marines!

Only criticism is that you should have introduced the video in optimus prime's voice.

I think you should go for "The Sons of Optimus". I love this concept and will definitely have to put together a converted character or two using this theme.

Great idea, well executed. The metal faceplate and colour scheme really works well.

Winning!

AutoBots...Rollout!

Rocks! Great job!

Thanks for the comments guys, we are going to add some stuff to this army. What do you think would be some fun models to add? Nick

Awesome work on these guys.

What i like about this army is that it takes the concept of a pop culture theme army and applies it in an intelligent and creative way that results in a cool army that looks like it could still actually exist in the setting.

it assumes that the target audience is smart enough to get the reference without having to beat us over the head with it.

Too many people overstep that fine line with such armies and thus we end up with silly armies of ponies and space marines with plastic doll heads glued onto them...

Scratchbuilt Stormraven to look like the Ark

I'm going to be honest.... my heart lifted when i saw these made my Day a lil

They're Awesome man!

They look good and cuddly, if a bit confused over whether they're grey knights or not.

amazing!

Love them!

Suggestion: Go all the way and stick some Autobot symbol on Rhinos or something.

Awesome, just awesome. I might have to do a guy or two like that just for giggles.

That is 109% awesome! so great! +1

I love this theme i am greeking out on the theme of this army and i think also that csm army needs to be made with a deceptacon theme

What paints did you use please?

Veery nice

When I saw the title I thought ah jaysus no but they are very dam cool, nice one!

I am going with Prime Marines as well as they are all Optimus Primes. If the were different transformers I would go with Auto-Knights.

Looks pretty cool. I think the Dread knight woulod have look really cool with some wheels on the legs. I do love that sword though.

Otherwise these models are fantastic! Continue on your work!

Absolutely not.

This idea instantly becomes 473,000 times less cool the second it stops taking inspiration from the cartoon and starts taking inspiration from those horrid Michael Bay movies.

And for an alternate idea, how about the Knights Optimus? Sounds very 40Kish, and avoids the Double M sound of Prime Marines (which sounds like Primarines if not properly enunciated), and Auto-Knights just sounds... dumb. Doesn't make any sense. What's auto about them? Just my two cents.

Nicely done!
