Okay, so it's not an actual for real Transformer from the TV show, but hey, it's
nifty enough.  Presenting for your perusal, Talisaro.

Inspired by Paul D'Urbano's transformer:

and the hands from Stuart Immonen's latest mech (though I'm not sure he created
it, but he most recently used it)

I had to build something that went from bot to something and back.  It's been a
while since I built a transformer, and I think they're much more challenging
then straight mecha to build and still have them look good.  The head I'm still
annoyed at the way it's not properly obscured in jet mode, and the arms are a
little scrawny, and it's awfully flimsy and cranky to transform, but I love it
all the same.

Enjoy!

Great experiment Adrian...and a successful one I might add!  It rings of the
pre-Transformers that I remember picking up on Florida trips.  I don't know if
they were Diaclone or not...I think they may have been spinoffs from the Gi-King
(sp?) giant robot line.

At any rate, it's amazing that you've acheived the articulation to fold and
swing the torso down in a way that doesn't require unseating any bricks.

Shweet.
