LEGO Transformer Snapdragon version 3

Postby alanyap » Thu Jul 25, 2019 10:09 pm

Yes! this my 3rd rendition of LEGO Snapdragon since the very first one made I about 15 years ago (when I first rekindled my passion with LEGO as an adult)

VERSION 1 (2004)

Back then most of the parts I used came from LEGO sets so I just make do with whatever colors I had.

[B]VERSION 2 (2012)[/B]

Leaps and bound improvement over v1. I was pretty satisfied with the outcome then. I even cloned 2 extra copies of this creation to be displayed in a LEGO exhibition in 2015 .. so visitors can see all 3 modes

On retrospect, I found version 2 to be pretty dated now with a few design glitch

> like protruding robot head on the jet undercarriage
> weak jet nosecone design that tend to detach easily
> shoulders too wide (think "ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime")
> robot back kibble jutting out at a weird angle.

VERSION 3 (2019)


What meant to be a quick 1 week project , dragged on to about 2 weeks: My overzealousness got the better of me. Part of the long list of to-fix's:

> Every nooks and corners were rebuilt to strengthen weak hinges
> Rounder/more cylindrical arms.
> Nosecone-kibble tucked in more neatly to the robot's back.
> beast head too funny-looking. off with the buck teeth!
> narrower shoulders.

..and of coz... a color scheme closer to his G1 toy version.

Motto: "Earthrise restock or riot"
Nicely done! Having the tailfins become the dino head was a slick idea
WANT:
* Cyb. Galvatron key, missiles
* Omega Lock
* Primus Cyber Key, coattail panel
* Powerlinx Comettor
* Leader Sentinel Prime sword, shield
* RiD Galvy dragon head, beast arms
* Leader Ironhide windshield, R hood assy.
* Cyb. Wing Saber left chestplate (argh)

We don't have kings in America

I'm currently having of backlogs of 5 yet to be completed LEGO TF, due to lack of VERY specific lego parts ( like Kup's light blue fenders) .

Will complete Broadside by the end of this month.
