2025 Optimus Prime 7-foot SHIELD Project
All heroes need protection, and Optimus Prime is no different. Our replica truck often appears with a variety of props that bring life to the evolving character, including an 8-foot Sword Of Judgement (build by the owners of Prime), as well as scale models of the Allspark and Matrix Of Leadership. One critical element has always been missing though, until now.
While virtually everyone in the fandom supports our family's mission with Optimus, we have also found ourselves on the receiving end of several threats from the few who seek to destroy us. That is why we have chosen to build a full-scale version of the shield Optimus Prime used in Transformers: Age Of Extinction. Not only as a barrier to protect us in our travels, but as a symbol of our ongoing mission to rise above the hate, and protect our planet from the Decepticons who seek to destroy it.
Optimus Prime's new shield will measure almost 7.5-FEET in length, small enough for transport but large enough to catch the attention of all who visit us. With a completion goal of winter 2025, this shield is going to be displayed at most of the events we attend with Prime. Whenever possible, we plan offer event guests and attendees the chance to take photos holding Prime's shield alongside Optimus himself - 100% free of charge.
To our knowledge, no other fan has built a shield of this size and scale. Thus making this another first in the history of the Transformers fandom. It is yet another mission worthy of a Prime that we are honored to take on!
PROGRESS PHOTOS WILL BE POSTED HERE REAL SOON
ENGRAVE YOUR NAME ON PRIME'S SHIELD!
Here's your chance to be forever memorialized on a piece of prop history that will soon travel the continent with Optimus Prime. Mounted to the back of this shield will be a 12" x 12" metal engraved plaque, depicting a limited list of individuals who donated to this project in support of the Fiduccia family and Team Prime.
There are two tiers you can select from: TIER ONE will be more prominently displayed, and will consist of up to 9 names (these can be individuals or businesses). You will have the option to add your company's website, or your city and state. In addition to a personalized message of your choosing, we will also credit you in a post on our main social media channels. TIER TWO is a smaller section limited to 8 spots, granting you the honor of adding your name (or your family's name) and city/state of origin.
This engraved plaque will be one of the final elements we mount to the shield, and it will look like this:
ALL donations will be applied to this project, helping us offset the cost of building the shield. If there is anything remaining that wasn't applied, we will put it towards the ongoing maintenance that Prime still needs in order to stay road-worthy.
