Here is never anticipated fully transformable Optimus Primal. TMWYT! Rhinox soon to come.-Semaj

Darn I post one of my favorite lego creations to ever build and not one critique on it. Does my Optimus Primal blow chunks? -Semaj





Well, let me put it this way...

Transformers are a very tough thing to do. While Optimus Prime was a perfect candidate to be built with bricks, others are not always a good idea since it would take a huge scale so that the models, both in robot and vehicule/animal mode looks like the original.

I personnally don’t like your Primal rendition very much. I really like the other stuff you do, as I once told you via email, but this one, well, I think you did the best possible giving the fact that it’s a robot/gorilla and that is very hard to do. It’s a nice atempt, but I feel the project was doomed from the start.

Still, the robot mode is kinda nice. I think it’s refreshing at least from all those mechas and mechs everybody makes (including me sometimes) :-)

I look forward to seeing your next project.

Terry

(...) Well I must say thank you for your honesty. I knew the gorilla mode was going to be hard and might not come out perfect which I admit it didn't but I just had to try. If you hate Optimus Primal your going to despise the other beast Wars mechs (...) (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
