This is what I came up with. :)

Sadly, though I tried, I wasn't able to determine a way make the armor
actually tranform from bike to battler mode. After trying to figure it out
for the better part of two weeks, I'm not entirely convinced it can be done
to minifig scale, but hey - I'd love to see those of you mecha builders that
are far more skilled than I give it a go!

Comments, questions or suggestions are welcomed,

* For some reason, my brickshelf account is being loopy and has decided it
only wants to accept the pics of the VR-41 and VR-52. I have the VR-38 built
and included it in the same zip the other pics were in, and tried to upload
the pic's individually but it just won't accept them.  Any suggestions on
what else to try would be welcome. :)

Hi,

Cool use of very disparate parts there. I really like the Blowsperior
(Lancer/Yellow's Bike). I also liked how you used the binoculors pieces to
simulate the twin rocket launchers on Scott's Armor.

As for building a fully transformable minifig-sized bike... well... I wish
anyone who tries it all the best =)

I do have a question, from what set does the "transparent starwars laser
cannon" (for lack of a better word) come from? I've been trying to search
for it with no luck at all...


Cheers!
Eddy
