Great! I half expected it to transform into a vehicle and drive off the
first time I saw those tires! ;-)
Do you think you could build a version of it that actually would transform
from a robot mode to a vehicle-like mode?
I'm a big fan of anything that's a Transformer, it's rather hard to do
properly in LEGO, though it's definitely possible to do.
