The shoulder hinge holes are the new 2X2X2 clicking hinges(the ones from the new alpha team/slave one). I love these (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

The transformation is a compromise, and even moreso with lego than with the toys, it makes the robot form suffer, aesthetically speaking. That's no disrespect for the transforming lego mecha that I've seen, they are quite good, and in the case of (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I really like this trend in mecha. Transformers rock! My suggestions would be perhaps some of the smaller ones that actually transform, like Bumblebee or Brawn. Since you got Prime, maybe Ultra Magnus wouldn't be too hard to make. And why not try (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hi all. I've posted a preview picture of my 3 finished Transformer figures.

it's interesting how you pointed out the "compact" look. to take it one step further, it's not only compact, but fairly basic in design and appearance. there's very little "fringe" parts, so detail was not a major priority for me. in fact, i tried (...)

you are correct in that assessment. the head does look like a zaku. in fact, the mouthpiece/hose assembly i got from sun yun's zaku. that was the last part of the head i added (with reservation). i would have avoided that part and went for the (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Jason Coronado, I must say that is a VERY SWEET mecha. You did an amazing job with that gla-glaish chasis. The legs are by far the nicest and most attractive section.
