Welcome, peoples of the Interwebs, today I present to you my custom Mini models based on The Transformers( more specifically the toys). They don't transform persay, you could take them apart and put them back together in a car like form if you really wanted to. I have over 250 of these little guys so if you want to see more or you have one inparticular you want me to make then just tell me.

These are quite easy to make, and I think they come out quite well, now I base them off of the toys (it is a better base than animation or comics I think), but if you make your own then you can to use whatever you want as a base (just give me credit). On the subject of credit, I'm gonna give credit to the LegoTFormers guys for the idea (link to their channel below).

I am using LDD (Lego Digital Designer) to design these

Download here: http://ldd.lego.com

Without further adieu here is my first batch of them

Autobots:

: G1 Optimus Prime

: G1 Prowl

: G1 Jazz

: G1 Sideswipe

: G1 Hound

Decepticons

: G1 Megatron

: G1 Soundwave

: G1 Starscream

: G1 Skywarp

: G1 Thundercracker

(they can hold all of their weapons, just didn't feel like showing it

)

You're welcome Legos and TFs all good in my book.

How 'bout some city bots? or Omega Supreme?

Welcome, peoples of the Interwebs, today I present to you more of my custom Mini models based on The Transformers( more specifically the toys). They don't transform per-say, you could take them apart and put them back together in a car like form if you really wanted to. Again, if you have one you really want to see don't be afraid to ask.

Now without further adieu here is round 2.

Those are very effective and convincing. You have a great eye for minimalist design!

by **Glarryg** » Mon Nov 02, 2015 1:09 pm

These are great; they remind me of those Star Wars-themed Microfighter sets that LEGO makes.

Lol I always have to make my Lego models a lot bigger in order for them to actually look like the character in mind, but these look pretty accurate for the size! You would probably do great with pixel art. :lol:

Any alt mode pics? Or are they robot only?

I could maybe make some makeshift ones out of the parts there or create a totally different model based on the alt mode. If you want me to make some I will, but just by themselves they do not transform.

It'd be cool to see what you could do with the parts available. But if it's just robot mode, then that's cool.

Welcome, peoples of the Interwebs, today I am finishing off the regular (as in the robots that where packaged separately, not part of a team and and were the basic G1 size)G1 models I have made so far w/ 2 Stunticons and an Aerialbot. Like I have said before they don't transform on there own, you could take them apart and put them back together in a car like form if you really wanted to and they are able to hold their respected weapons. Again, if you have one you really want to see don't be afraid to ask, it doesn't have to be G1 it could be any toy series.

by **Mythic_Gears** » Fri Dec 04, 2015 3:26 pm

I just realize I forgot G1 Tracks last batch #-o

, oh well here he is now

Haha I love these!!! I would love to see you maybe make come combiners since you have Dragstrip and Breakdown there. It'd be awesome if you made the combined mode and vehicle modes out of mostly the same pieces, kinda like Kre-o Transformers.

Glad you like them. I have experimented with both and while the vehicle mode thing won't happen because I'm not a big fan of how they turn out, you will see some combiners at some point. I've made 6 of them albeit half are repaints :-D

Welcome, peoples of the Interwebs, here are more of my Mini Models. This time it is just a variety of G1 Minibots. Again, if you have one you really want to see don't be afraid to ask, it doesn't have to be G1 it could be any toy series.

That Cosmos looks really similar to the G1 toy!

Do you use LDD to make these?

Also I would love to see you make some of the G1 season 3 characters (Springer, Arcee, Ultra Magnus, Rodimus, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Sweeps, etc.), and maybe even make a larger scale Unicron! That would be epic. :saint:

Thanks man. I'm actually surprised that someone likes Cosmos, I personally didn't think he turned out that great, but oh well. Yes I use LDD for these as I find it easier, since you can make any piece any color. As for season 3 characters, I've done Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod, but that's it at the moment. I do plan on doing more of them, but since I these are based on the toys I can't guarantee an Arcee & Unicron that fit in, but since I am probably gong to do show-accurate versions of Ironhide and Ratchet since their toys aren't the greatest, so I might do the same for Arcee. Unicron is in the same boat as any of the other overly large bots(Metroplex, Trypticon, Omega Supreme), which is I have ideas for them, I'm still in the planing stages for them though. :-?

Nice bro! Keep it up! You have pretty amazing talent at making small guys, so who knows how cool the big guys would look!
