She's cute ;)
I think I like Trixie better than Rushlight. Rushlight looks a little
too sleek for a Transformer, but Trixie retains the features of her
vehicle mode. If she were in the cartoon, she'd probably be a scout
or a human liaison, like Bumblebee.
The way the arms extend in robot mode is a clever little touch.
Actual Transformers almost always use such methods in their
transformation, but it's tough to build something similar using just
LEGO. Not to mention at this scale! I also like how you saw fit to
include storage for the weapon in vehicle mode, as well as the extra
"action feature" in robot mode (the goggles Trixie uses to enhance
her sight during targeting). Keep it up!
