Electro Girl's LEGO Transformers

Here are some more, better up close pics of my Lego helicopter Transformer called Rotorrunner.

It wasnt hard to build as I had made a similar one in reality but I was unable to make detailed hands.

The transformation is fairly simplistic as Lego joints and such are bulky on smaller models (all my Transformers fit mini figs if that give you any idea of the size) the legs fold out from the nose and the tail splits to form the arms.

The model has 2 blasters and the rotors detach to form swords.

Enjoy there is more to come.

Hearts of steel Starscream

I built this after seeing preview pics of Transformers Hearts of steel.

As the Write bros plane is a simple design so was the transformation and it was quite easy to build from the concept gallery at the back of the comic.

Im most proud of the colour shceme wich i used my classics Starsream as a rough guide. also the gattling guns look pretty cool.

The transformation can be done with no detachments wich is a plus but the legs and feet arnt very posable.

I think hearts of steal would make a cool toyline the Optimus Prime train looks awesome. (I tried to build it but train transformation is hard due to the wheels available on dd)

Also more seekers heve been made.

All feedback and ideas are allways welcome enjoy 8)

pickup kitbash

This was my first digital Lego Transformer and im quite proud of it even if the head is a bit small and he looks like hes wearing a turtleneck.

the inspiration for this came when i was playing with my g1 hoist (i got it for free from my karate insructor after his sons left home i still dont think hes told them but oh well im chuffed with it)

hoist has a nice transformation that lends itself well to lego so it is almost identical in that respect and if it wasnt for the lack of green peices avaiable this would be a model of hoist but instead its just a red pickup

anyway considering this was my first it turned out very well probarbly because of the good inspiration (thank you hoist) however i dont have a name so suggest away. enjoy 8)

I will be a cheerleader for creativity. I really like the approach you're doing. I sadly don't have lego in which to do this, and am glad someone is doing this, even if it is through a computer program! Good work :D Is the head of the pickup/tow truck looking robot, the flashing warning lights on the roof? If so, brilliant! :D

the head was more of a afterthought due to lack of experience with the program and with building transformers from lego so i just attached it to the bar at the back so it flipped up but im gonna take that idea on board and try to improve it thanks 8)

Not to rain on your parade or anything, but these CGI Lego projects arent actually "kitbashes".

Sure they are. She's building them from scratch, isn't she? (well, not physically, but in the LEGO CAD program...)

The word kitbash only applies to the physical realm i thought?

it could be considered a blue print for a kitbash. just done on a digital media scale. either way, i find it neat it's being used for this purpose.

Scratch building robots in a LEGO CAD program, which can be built physically at any time, seems to qualify for me. It just saves on parts.

Where can one obtain this program? From Lego's site, or somewhere else? I really want to play around with it now :D

I think it's from the LEGO site. She posted a link in one of her threads somewhere on the forum.
