Any picks of the bot mode?

That's fan-frikkin'-tastic, man. Absolutely incredible.

Nice work there. I'd like to see Mark get hold of this - I reckon Metroplex would love it...

I took some measurements. the blade is 24 inches long 1 1/2 inches wide, the sword total length is 34 1/4 inches, and the autoBOT and deceptiCON symbols are roughly 4"x4". The handle is made from 4 stainless steel 1/2 inch tubes with a rounded square plate 3/16" thick x1"x1". The emblem is a snug fitting separate piece. The handle and blade are one piece welded together. The emblem slides over the blade and stops tightly against the handle, tapped on with a hammer.

NICE! How hard was it to make? If you plan on doing another might I suggest doing the hilt as the Matrix of leadership? and if yah leave some room in the handle you probably could get some batteries/LED's in there and light up the Center (just an idea) heheh

It took about a week at work.... shhhhhh. I've been told that THEY are watching me because somebody said I've been building things on company time. Of course I would only build things on breaks! If I could spend the time needed to build things of importance it would only take a few hours. When I make things it takes little time. The problem is finding the muse, or desire. When ideas come they're just there like BOOM! The idea comes and then the product. No wasted time. I don't know if anybody else does things this way, but that's how it is.
