I think that I will keep this model around and try to make some design

Brickshelf wasn't working for me so I just made a few quick web pages.

Pretty cool, Pat. It's very difficult to create a transforming mecha that
works well, so I appreciate the difficulty of what you did there. :^)

Agreed!  It's quite a challenge.  I tried the same thing myself a few years
ago, using the same model.  After quite a few headaches, I ended up taking
Bobby's advice and scrapping the mech mode (which actually never made it
beyond a Guardian mode) and turned it into a space fighter (my "Hellcat," if
you're interested).  But I would like to take another shot at a transformer
some time...
