Kreo Optimus Prime rebuild

Postby mechajol » Mon Dec 09, 2013 5:54 pm

I really love that Optimus rebuild from radicon's notatroll199x so I tried building it.

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons- ... build.html

Unfortunately, these Kreo pieces won't hold well together. My Optimus kept falling apart.
So, I just modified and improvised some steps along the way.

Here's my Optimus version:

The most obvious change I did was with the legs.
And the back:

I also modified the shoulders to be more compact.

And a closer shot of the torso.

Here are the legs:

Most of the changes I did was to reinforce some parts. Kreo does not lock well together as Lego. The ball joints are a bit loose and you could feel that it won't support the robot's weight in some poses.
Image

That said, I really like the stance and proportion of this Optimus.

Here's a group shot of all my Autobot rebuilds...

Man, disassembling the truck and cleaning up the extra parts really took most of my time...
