Glad you like it Chris, I am starting to lean towards Optimus too. He shouldn't be too tough to build, being color friendly to my collection (I have plenty of red, and should have enough blue and white/gray). I should even be able to keep Megatron (...)

Thanks Dave, Megatron is pretty solid, the legs aren't all brick, but most of the rest is. When building I wasn't conciously trying to lighten him, I tend to build more for strength and rigidity than for weight concerns. I've been toying with the (...)

Wow i thought fatelle was good but then I see your Megatron. That is awesome. And your other mechs are incredibly unique. I didn't know someone who isn't Japanese could make a mech out of lego's that unique.-Semaj (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hi Dave- no real comments on which transformer to work on next, but I have to point out that Megatron is a mighty fine brick rendition! My lone question would be: is it solid brick or did you decide to make it as hollow (light) as possible? Keep up (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

thanks for the constructive criticizm. i totally agree with you. the legs are a bit stumpy and also have very little articulation. the whole mecha, imo, looks more like a mech than a mecha. that is to say, it looks more mechanical than organic. my (...)
