I built a transforming jet out of the 4099 robobot designer set.

Jeez, Louise.  There is some jaw-dropping engineering afoot here!  Very, very
nice!!  I'd snap up Transformer license sets like this in a heartbeat!!

Actually, Hasbro has come out with some new versions of GI Joe and Transformers that are "construction block" style.   They have Lego clone studs, but beyond that they aren't very similar.  I just thought of it, since you mentioned a license.  So, you are unlikely to see Lego produce an official Transformer model.

This is much cooler anyway.  I wonder if Ldraw file or instructions might be
forthcoming?  I just bought this set a few weeks back, and I love it.  I might
have to try and build this from the pictures.
