| | | | | | (...) Hi Eric, It is fun to transform it back and forth. Thanks for checking it out. I was thinking this would be right in line for the Road Show stuff. My goal was to prove to myself it could work and I didn't spend too much time on the aesthetics (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | Sheer beauty... That's my comment. Transforming things rule! Besides that, you captured the Transformer "feeling" well. I like the robusteness of the car mode, and (unlike many transformers) the elegance of the robot. It somehow seems finished, (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.general)
