Actually this guy was never in my to-built list.. but since this is "year of triple changers" for me, and Apeface is sort of a low-hanging fruit compared to other triple changers when it comes to complexity, I give that a shot.




Compared to the original G1 Apeface.. some compromises must be made in the form of a different-looking jet mode. Hope you guys like my rendition!









The ball joints used for the gorilla rear legs are too weak to hold his body up. So he can't stand upright .



With LEGO Snapdragon I rebuilt few months earlier. (He's not a Headmaster though).

Awesome; you continue to impress, sir.

Is the big red ape butt a happy coincidence or a deliberate part of the design?

Well that's one of my many surprise in building LEGO TF. Things simply fall into places without me putting much thought into it. First its the red ape butt. Another is the jet wings tucking in nicely to the side of the ape mode without additional redesign (I started building the wings to adapt to the bot mode first)
