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.

Hey those guys were not the ultimatum on TFs (then again it was a licensed show,
but look at some of those new designs ;-P )

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.

Adrian,
You've created two excellent forms with this guy, and at microfig scale too! The
proportions are great and the detailing perfect. Those hands work well as
greeblies. ;-)

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.

I'd say from head-on, the head is hidden enough. I think the arms are just the
right size for this size TF--excellent articulation too.
I commend you on making a "unified" transformation, despite the flimsyness,
because I know it's a challenge and the those other Valykyrie jets that have
been made require removing parts. Furthermore, in regards to what you said:
One of the things I love about Lugnet, we're always inspiring each other,
or taking ideas or themes or concepts from each other.  It's a great
sharing environment.
you said it so well...I totally agree.

Keep up the great work!  I look forward to the next one.

PS - Is a minifig compatible jet in the drawing room??
