I did my best to build the Autobots from the upcoming movie as close as i can get it with Knex. Please post comments I would like some feedback.

That's quite impressive...and scary. How many people helped you with that?
No, but seriously, that looks like it took a buttload of work and patience...can they transform from one mode to the other, or do you have to take them apart and re-model the whole thing to do their alt modes?

I didn't get help i did it all my self using the pictures of the toys they gave on Seibertron toy galleries to figure out the transformations. All of them are as close as i can get to the toy transformation. Ironhide is almost dead on with the toy. These are true transformers you don't take them completly apart all pieces stay attached just re-aranged like any good transformer.

Dude they look sweet as!!

Must have took a lot of time...

You cheated, you added Lego pieces for Prime's headlights :grin:

But man these are too awesome, I especially like how
their distinctive shapes and proportions remained intact
while keeping them transformable.
And you managed to get the good colouring for Prime,
Jazz and Bumblebee as well

by **glitched9700** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 1:06 pm

I did a color update of Ironhide and fixed the robot mode and truck mode of Optimus. I am working on fixing bumblebee i wasnt happy with it so it will be reposted soon.

These are amazing! Any chance of you posting a video of the transformation one of them? Awesome job, man!

by **glitched9700** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 3:09 pm

Its not a great animation because getting this toy to stay still in front of the camera proved difficult but here you go

very very impressive. the alt modes and both optimius's look freakishly accurate. haha. but seriously, great job, post up more pics of new stuff you make. really cool stuff for sure.

I made Frenzy a while ago to go with my barricade transformer, and finally got around to posting them

by **Nugget** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 12:25 am

Nice, dude your a very patient person, I would have gone stir crazy putting those together. Nice work.

You might be able to make your Frenzy into Rumble with a few minor changes...

by **Riotflea** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 8:48 am

I can only wonder what a person of your skill and patience would be able to pull off with an assload of Lego Technic and System pieces.

by **-Optimus_Prime-** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 7:32 pm

So they can Transform? Thats pretty nice.

Can they transform without removing parts?

by **glitched9700** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 9:38 am

of course there as close to the actual toys as i can get them.

by **Auto Bot** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 7:53 am

Very creative. Impressive.

by **glitched9700** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 8:26 pm

So with all my transformers I have built what's next? I'm going to create a custom transformer with out reference to an actual one. Using this picture

It is a difficult project but I am making good progress and will post as when I'm done

by **autobot commander** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 8:28 pm

looking forward to it
