2 years ago ,around March I think, hasbro finally released a sneak preview of updated version of DD. Sadly, I was dissapointed with how the bird mode turned out, and don't get me started on his knee joints position.
I guess it;s time for me to build my own DD instead. So there!

Even thought the project was only completed few weeks ago, 90% of the time it was in limbo.. due to some technical design challenges I was unable to resolve then.

As you can see.... I made a huge tradeoffs by letting the bird wings to be exposed in bot mode. There's simply no way I can conceal them snugly.

And oh yes.. and project as ambitious as this deserves its own "outtakes" video, where I show a few design challenges and how I solve them :
Well, putting a closure to this project means I finally can move on to the next triple changer project I had in mind. Sandstorm perhaps?
