Since I am a fan of triple changer, I have been harboring intentions to build it one day , using LEGO of coz!

And that day finally came (early last year), when I discovered the toy prototype of this TF actually exists ,despite not being used in G1 Transformers (below). What a shame!

And off I go! First 3 months progress were really fast and I'm almost done building in 6 months. It took me another year to put a closure to this due to me procrastinating* and felt unsure of its final color scheme.

*I actually initiated 5 other lego triple changer projects between this one.


EXCAVATOR MODE

I kinda lowered my bar here. Usually I prefer to use real working tracks for my LEGO creations. This time around, due to complexity of triple changers... I must implement "fake" tracks.

SEAPLANE MODE

Propeller was the last thing I applied before wrapping this project up. Initially its a 2-blade prop, but I took the liberty to confirm my design by googling photos of seaplanes to discover 3-blade is much common.

ROBOT MODE

He ended up top heavy with huge back kibble. Luckily his wide footprints ensured his stability.

After this .. I shall return to completing my Astrotrain, Doubledealer and Octane.
