LEGO The Last Autobot

Postby alanyap » Fri Dec 30, 2016 12:24 pm

My first encounter of this character was from Issue #79 of Marvel Transformers Comics (from the 80s. ). As a plot device to put all closure to everything (aka Happy Ending), he showed up, did a few magical stuff .. reformatting Transformers home planet Cybertron and resurrected the good guys Autobots to bring the bad guys into submissions.

^ If you notice an unmmasked mecha face with eyes and chin, it's just an optical illusion!


Trivia



  • I loved the idea of TLA being literally a robot in disguise rather than entombed somewhere in Cybertron waiting to be discovered, hence his Autobot Logo/Insignia mode. He can blend in into Cybertron metallic surface/walls/ceilings without anyone noticing.
  • Since I built the head last, It's an absolute co-incidence that the head can be tucked into the Insignia mode without modifying other already built component like the robot legs.
  • Initially I had some problems keeping this mode upright due to small footprint, until I refine his jet mode wingtips which can be folded/angled to help stabilize the Insignia modes. This, too.. is a co-incidence.
  • As a "sacred" creation of Primus (assumedly to be peace loving), I decided NOT to arm TLA with any form of weaponry in all his modes. He's literally a wizard in Transformers lore , so weapons are redundant... I guess.
  • TLA is an ancient Cybertronian so I keep this in mind during my refinement of this MOC... by adding gold toned LEGO parts on his chest and legs too, and a more slender legs compared to other blockier/ chunkier ones in modern Transformers .

^ This one was inspired from one Iron man photo I seen few years back. Took me almost 10 minutes to set him up in this pose.

^ TLA looks similar to Infernus, another LEGO TF I made almost 2 years ago from one LEGO set. (building instructions below)

Upon his birth by Primus, he was immediately put into statis/dormant mode. Doesn't have much of a childhood there. Just making up for lost times.




And as usual, pay a visit to my blog below to see the rest of TLA's photos including transformation sequences. Happy New Year folks!!
