    Generations Springer. easy Lego apc alt mode

    Got inspired by all the easy mods
    Since I don't have activators bumble bee and didn't want to cut up my extra knockout I decided to use legos.
    let me know what you think and suggest a cheap set I can grab the right size wheels.

    All you need is four pieces and a wheel for each leg. Still trying to find the right sized wheels.

    Had to change the wheels out for bot mode the red ones looked great but he couldn't stand on them.

    added in one more piece of lego so now the wheels turn like Mouseak's version.
    Plus the foot plugs into the side of the wheel to make it more stable

    love the large wheels in car mode, but they seem way of place in a slim copter and robot mode.

    well that's the neat thing about using legos I can keep changing out the tires easily until I find the right set or just leave them off altogether.

    you know what, I think I may do this when/if my Toys R Us Gets it. Also I think that the smaller wheels look a lot better

    bionicles and the tires off of an Indiana Jones car.
    but I think you can use ones from one of the new monsters sets.
    They may be the same size
