Hey All, I've uploaded anthother Transformers MOC - Trixie, Autobot scout. Goofy name, I know, but what else do you call a girl-bot with three wheels? This one was tough to work out. I knew I wanted a smaller robot form this time around, but that (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.announce.moc)

(...) Dang! You have got skill to make these. I can't make transforming stuff, I can't mentally visualize that stuff, so I am always impress to see transformers, especially ones that look good in both forms! t (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) The feature retention is nice now, but believe me I originally struggled to hide most of it. I finally realized at this scale I'd have to make her look pretty industral, and she came together nicely. As for her role, yeah, she'd make a great (...)

Jeremiah, That's outstanding! I especially like the little trick you did with the stickshift element. I'm going to have to use that sometime. Bruce (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Hey, thanks! I guess it helps to be able to visualize it, but the vast majority of designing a transformer (for me, at least) is done on paper and in mock-ups and such. I can think about it all I want, but nothing's going to happen unless I (...) (21 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Thanks, Bruce. I can't take credit for the antenna/stickshift joint thing - it's been around in various mecha for a while now. I wish I could remember who started it, because it's one useful little deal. A word of warning, though, if you plan (...) (21 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Jeremiah- Hi. When I saw Bitstream I was amazed! (Wasn't posting yet.) As Bruce said, your Transformers are outstanding! I had seen some sculptural and robot-mode renditions before but creations like yours are rare. Well I was perusing .Mecha and I (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Over time, though, I've found that experimenting with the ideas and keeping a lookout for how others use them in their designs can really open up (...)
