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.

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 I’m making, but hopefully not. Just keep an open mind about their beast forms...... it is lego.-Semaj
