I really love that Optimus rebuild from radicon's notatroll199x so I tried building it.

Unfortunately, these Kreo pieces won't hold well together. My Optimus kept falling apart.
So, I just modified and improvised some steps along the way.

Here's my Optimus version:



The most obvious change I did was with the legs.
And the back:


I also modified the shoulders to be more compact.


And a closer shot of the torso.


Here are the legs:


Most of the changes I did was to reinforce some parts. Kreo does not lock well together as Lego. The ball joints are a bit loose and you could feel that it won't support the robot's weight in some poses.


That said, I really like the stance and proportion of this Optimus.



Here's a group shot of all my Autobot rebuilds...


Man, disassembling the truck and cleaning up the extra parts really took most of my time...

Brilliant!!

Sooooo much better than the original build. So much better.
