    A Lego Transformer character I invented. I never got around to finishing it, and he looks a lot like G1 Ironhide unintentionally. I originally planned to name him something cool like Strider, but when I realized I couldn't finish him, I gave him a more suitable name.

    [​IMG]

    He was supposed to be a very quick and agile Autobot, with blades coming out of both forearms. I know that sounds a lot like ROTF Sideswipe (not to mention he's red like the original Sideswipe). Again, these similarities were entirely unintentional. I built him in 2007, long before any confirmation of Sideswipe's presence in ROTF.

    I took him apart ages ago, and have no intentions of rebuilding him. I had full body photos of him, but I also deleted those a really long time ago. So, uh... sorry for the pointless tease. But if you want to see some beautiful completed Transformers I've built, go here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/235888-lego-bumblebee.html

    and here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/235885-lego-optimus-prime.html

    Some of you have already seen both.

    No, you're NOT finished. Postpone it, and update it when you continue with it. And you CALL yourself a radicon, I SPIT AT YOU! *spits*. J/K. Does he transform?

    Nope. I was more focused on making him look bad ass, than engineering a transformation for him.

    ... have you ever made an actual Transforming model? I'm sure You can because this skill you have right now making these sculptures is amazing.

    Engineering is perhaps a bit more trail and error but that's what gets it done!

    No sir. It's never interested me, really. I saw how god danged beautiful Optimus looked in robot mode, and that's all I cared to capture. If I ever find the time and resources to build a nice-looking+transformable model, it will be because I'm up to my balls in 100-dollar-bills.

    I appreciate the confidence and encouragement though.

    I'd like to see more photos, so I can see it from all sides of it.
