The Librarian Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) So I have been building Lego Transformers since I was about twelve and first read some Transformers fiction (thank you, wonderful Ladybird books!). I'd say I've come a long, long way since first building gun-form Megatron. I've got dozens of the things clogging up my shelves at the moment, some of which I've had built up for a couple of years now. Unfortunately, I've not go around to photographing many of them, mainly due to the need to get consistent shots of both robot and vehicular forms. Hopefully over the coming weeks, this will change. They are a wild mix of types now but I started off building Micromasters with the intention that they all be roughly in scale with minifigures. First up, though about fourth built, is Roadhandler. I am immensely pleased with him because, despite the slightly gappy car mode, he was the first time I actually managed to construct a car-from Transformer that was anywhere near minifig scale. Universal feather-weight champion! by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr The next one (built far more recently) is a character roughly of my own invention (though he steals a name from an existing Autobot) who was based on . . . well, I'll let you guess that. Those mean machines . . . by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr The faction stickers are by Reprolabels. Enjoy! And do check back again later - I have many more to show off.

bacem Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Awesome! I myself are a fan of transformers and legoformers, and these guys really works on me. Among all, meangun and ironworks are my favorite. Good job! Quote

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Woah, what a beautiful transformers! I like the purple one, very sleek! Quote
The Architect Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 These are seriously cool! They remind me of the beloved Transformers Generation One! Quote

The Librarian Posted November 11, 2016 Author Posted November 11, 2016 Try now - I had to replace the image after I'd uploaded it, guess the old one cached itself somewhere. Quote

The Librarian Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Pretty heavily, yeah - it's one of the few Prime designs I actually really like.

Good job incorporating working tank tread on there also. And, is that machine wars starscream? Oh wow. I never saw a machine wars legoformers before, so seeing it now is a very pleasant surprise.

Kelkschiz Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Fantastic stuff. Big fan of the original Transformers. Your LEGO versions are awesome. So much detail at such a small scale. Quote
The Librarian Posted December 22, 2016 Author Posted December 22, 2016 Cheers! Had hoped to get more of these photographed by now but December in the South of England is not conducive to steady sunshine. So just three more for now: Serious bot is serious by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr Let's go crazy! by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr WHAT INDOOR VOICE? by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr Siren is a hovercar basically because I wanted to save on wheels. Can't say it didn't make him easier to build though! I've also added some instructions on how to build your own Rodimus Prime to my flickr stream, so do check those out if you're interested. Enjoy - and happy end of year if I don't miraculously get enough light in the coming days to post some more. Quote

Wow i need to check it out later Edited December 23, 2016 by LuxorV Please do not quote images from the same page. Thank you. Quote
The Mugbearer Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Those are some delightfully well-made, sleek looking Transformers MOCs! <3 Quote
Prometheum5 Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Holy cow! The first couple were solid, and they just kept getting better and better as I scrolled. I LOVE that Bigshot, one of my favorite Micromasters. Quote
EpsilonEta Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Can't beive I haven't comented on this before. All of them are really cool but I most like the small ones (Nightbeat, Sideswip and Prowl especially). And the head on Siren look so good.

You should try north (tecnicaly geografically central) Sweden (but at least the sky is clear the few hours the sun is up) Quote
