No, not Kre-O. This is scratch built Transformers made entirely out of unglued LEGO® bricks. I have showed them on various Lego sites and events but as I now have registered here I can finally show them to you too. And they actually do transform (but as they aren't glued they tend to fall apart a little during transformation) (photoshoped image to show both modes. Yes, the trailer disapear ) Bumblebee ~1200 pieces 30 cm / 12" tall Sunstreaker ~1500 pieces 38 cm / 15" tall Optimus Prime ~5000 pieces 66 cm / 24" tall These are based on the designs E.J. Su made for the -ation series. It was those comics that got me interested in Transformers as an adult. I just loved the designs as they looked mechanical and didn't distort the vehicle parts. I remember thinking “I could actually make those” and so I spent about 3-4 years failing to make Lego Transformers until Bumblebee was finished in 2010. Then Optimus was almost finished in 2012 and I brought him to a Lego convention in Seattle (I live on Sweden so it was a long trip). Another two years and Sunstreaker was finished and a year after that the final details on Optimus was done and I took a break from building Transformers. Taillights ~400 pieces 20 cm / 8" tall An original character I made for a contest in 2014. We where to build a new Lego Transformer with it's own back story. With the short time, only 3 mounts, I had to build smaller (and I couldn't use the comic designs anyway) More info on MOCpages (a site for Lego creations), more pictures on flickr and videos on YouTube. I can make individual posts for each character with more info and pictures if that is preferred. Or make a “gallery” but that feel a little redundant as I have flickr albums. (And I don't even know if anyone here care for Transformers made of Lego anyway) Unlike the Lego forums, you might be interested in the design process. If I can get my scanner to work I could show some of my sketches and blueprints. At some point I will make videos showing in more detail how they work. And just so you can get a sense of the scale, here is my Optimus with MP-01
Thank you. I have had lots of practice and a talent for making transformers. Taillights? Ok... At least it look like Lego (I should have made an horde of small ones )
Please don't come near Ohio, because I will inevitably consume your brain in order to create such magnificence.
Thank you (and it took a lot of patience too ) Thanks You are welcome. I'm happy to blow some minds Wow, you are here too. Cool. So do I get stoned with knockoffs if I would say I like Lego more than Transformers? So that's how it work. Now I have to track down the brains of a good scratch builder and painter so I can make my designs in plastic (I tried to make my Bumblebee from an MP Skywarp and a model kit VW but gave up. It wasn't really my medium to work with)
1/ Go and work for Hasbro. 2/ Sack EVERYONE in the Kreon department. 3/ Put YOU and your hand-picked chums from the various TF lego forums in charge. 4/ Profit.
Ridiculous !!! That's talent of a nature beyond human !!! And that Prime is massive !!!! Awesome, awesome pieces dude !!
i won't sack everyone. i will sack those who changed the design to new kreons making everything not compatible. back in the day, kreo was good. now, good ideas bad execution. on your lego tf, MASSIVE!
