He’s nowhere near finished but I’m very happy with how he’s shaping up!

 

Wow that was fast! Looks great so far. Rotating waist looks good.
Also, are you working on improved hands?

 

Well having seen some of your posts, I'm not entirely sure. Ideally Id like to design some brand new hands for him but I just dunno if it's even possible.

 

So made a slightly different hand. Stole a page out of the ninjago Zane’s Titan mech to give a more articulated thumb.

 

Can he still hold his blaster? Cuz it doesn't look like there's alot of clearance for that.

 

Lol, yes of course, I did the mod from the twitter thread.

 

Here’s an option if you want hidden knees to look more stock.

Took a few trips to a Lego shop, but I made my own Energon Sword accessories for mine.

 

Cool!

 

Are you using a slope piece on the front of his helmet crest? Can’t tell from this angle but kind of looks like it. I may have to try that.
Have you done anymore work on it?

First time Lego builder. Omigosh was it worth it! Now just the rest of his accessories! 

 

Is anyone having issue with the waist not staying connected?

 

My issue is the right rear light(with red crystal) royal blue plastic keeps popping out.

 

I have a question being a newbie, I noticed that on my version, one of the fingers that simulates a trigger finger is different. Unlike in the manual which are 3 x2 (6) same angled sold bricks, mine comes in 5s while the 6th, I had to assemble from 2 pieces. One curved and another single square royal blue. That normal?

 

Is this toy supposed to represent his appearance in the G1 cartoon?
