Not really, I plan to keep plugging away at ‘em. The good thing is that there
are SO many different types of LEGO modified bricks, color variations, etc. now
as opposed to years ago, and this allows for all kinds of detail possibilities.
I can see how Bionicle pieces can be limiting on a small scale. That’s why I’ve
been using Bionicle/Techinc only for my larger stuff (Jabba, Dewback, Acklay,
etc.).

I think it would have made a
lot more sense to combine Optimus Prime with the Falcon. It’s the signature
ship of the Star Wars universe, it’s one of the larger small ships in the
Rebel fleet, and it’s basically a giant space-semi.

I though about it, but in the end I chose the X-Wing for the leader of the good
guys simply because it’s was Luke’s vehicle, and I just sort of see him more as
the “leader” of the good guys in the Star Wars films (if that makes any sense).
So, really, instead of pairing function or form of ship to Transformer
equivalent, I guess I was thinking more along lines of pilot of ship to
Transformer equivalent (probaly not the best way to do it, and I’m sure I’ll
change my mind a bunch of times as I go along). For now, I think I’ll make the
Falcon the Ultra Magnus of the bunch, I guess.

I think it would have been much more visually interesting if the R2 dome was
used as the head for the robot mode

It’s funny that you say that: I actually did that at first! I thought it looked
hilarious, but it was just too small compared to the rest of the model. If I
was going for more of a Star Wars mech, it would have been cool; but, since I
wanted to make them characters and not just battle machines, I thought a
slightly bigger face suited him better (even if it did only turn out to be just
a structural detail from the top of the ship).
