    Introduction

    In my quest to fulfil last year's vow of building a Transformers combiner , Killbison is actually the last MOC I started work on (from the team of 6 breastforce members). This is because I have difficulty finding the needed brown parts ,

    Just like his original toy, Killbison transforms into a Gepard Tank (below) with 2 turrets. But the original toy has 4 tank treads instead of 2 like in many typical real world tanks. I choose to follow the latter.

    Trivia

    > Initially this MOC was suposed to be a "remold" of Drillhorn I started much earlier, but Drillhorn's drill tank mode is chunky looking. I decided to build Killbison from scratch using a new transformation method.

    > When I started building this guy about 2 months ago, I used many black parts as a placeholder.In the quest to procure more brown parts quickly (this means not from ordering online), My routine scout in a mall yielded me Mixadel (A Mixel set) . This set has 4x c-clips I needed to complete this MOC. What a stroke of luck!

    > Some sacrifices were made for the robot mode aesthetics to ensure Killbison form a sturdy looking combiner leg. (one example is the robot arms with bland design facing outwards)

    Also, is this a fully transformable figure?

    I love your work; as a TF and a Lego fan, this is the sort of thing I could only imagine as a kid. In fact, even as an adult I'm amazed at what you've managed to design!
    Bravo!

    Thanks for your support from all over the net, Declan ! this is what keeps me going .

    building LEGO TF combiner is one of my "final frontiers" besides a six changer (now this one requires absolutely mad planning to ensure all 6 modes rocks).

    Ooh. Sixshot. I think Chris Roach did one, and I made one the size of a minifig, but with your spin this would be cool.

    I'm treading carefully on sixshot / quickswitch. maybe i'll attempt a custom quad-changer to hone my building skills first.

    I always wanted to build obscure TF as well. (The Last Autobot would be high on my list. My take would be he transform into a spacecraft shaped like Autobot insignia)

    Here's an idea: quad-changing Death's Head.

    I took an attempt at a deliberate Shellformer to create the cape but it didn't turn out too well. I might try it at a smaller scale.

    These guys are known as 'Legoformers'. They all transform without partsforming.

    Hence why when Kre-O came along the Legoformer community (mostly on a site named MOCpages) laughed at the fact that we've been able to do for years what Hasbro was failing to accomplish.
