Introduction

In my quest to fulfil last year's vow of building a Transformers combiner , Killbison is actually the last MOC I started work on (from the team of 6 breastforce members). This is because I have difficulty finding the needed brown parts ,

Just like his original toy, Killbison transforms into a Gepard Tank (below) with 2 turrets. But the original toy has 4 tank treads instead of 2 like in many typical real world tanks. I choose to follow the latter.







Trivia

> Initially this MOC was suposed to be a "remold" of Drillhorn I started much earlier, but Drillhorn's drill tank mode is chunky looking. I decided to build Killbison from scratch using a new transformation method.

> When I started building this guy about 2 months ago, I used many black parts as a placeholder.In the quest to procure more brown parts quickly (this means not from ordering online), My routine scout in a mall yielded me Mixadel (A Mixel set) . This set has 4x c-clips I needed to complete this MOC. What a stroke of luck!

> Some sacrifices were made for the robot mode aesthetics to ensure Killbison form a sturdy looking combiner leg. (one example is the robot arms with bland design facing outwards)

Nice

Love the head design, expressive, yet compact and concise. Glad to see you're putting those new ball joints to good use, they're such a god-send

Can't wait to see it when it's all done

This... is... AWSEOME!

It's an actual transforming Lego tank with that much poseability as a robot? Even if it's a partsformer, it's miles beyond any of the large Kre-o sets they made. If Hasbro had more designers like you, they'd still be making Kre-o sets.

Plus, I loves me some Breastforce.





Yeah, I know how that sounded.

Yea.... exactly my thoughts too. I wouldn't dare attempt a LEGO Transformers combiners if it weren't for availability of those small ball joints. Their flexibility saved me in many building occasions .

Too bad they only come in gray/dark gray variants so far .

Most of my recent LEGO TF creations transform without taking off parts . Thats my personal challenge in making everything works.

Here's how the transformation goes:

Nice

Can't say I have confidence in the joint style with brick on brick like that, but it seems to work out when needed

(you should swing by the thread in my sig)

That's an absolutely amazing Legoformer; its articulation, transformation and detail are really a cut above! Great work.
