Transformers were a ittle after my time = )
(although I do confess to watching reruns of the cartoon at 5:30am when I
lived in Albany a couple years ago)
I liked Jazz (a porsche right?) and Starscream (f-14/15?) and the T-rex Dino
...I thought their transforming sequence could be replicated with my
parts...man was I wrong...lol
I think if you do a search of .build or .technics for transformers you may
be surprised...
I remember seeing a page that had the original optimus, a robotech veritech,
and some other designs...
I agree that doing replicas of these models would require a fair bit of
engineering and combination of standard bricks and technic elements. I
never owned any of the Transforers, but I mimagine it would be hard to
recreate their changing sequences without having a model of each on hand.
