I am  bitten by Thundertank bugs this year!!! PROLOGUE Few months ago, I acquired set 31152: Space Astronaut, and made a Thundertank-former with it (video below) BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS HERE >> Actually the above is not my first LEGO Thundertank-former.  The very first one was made using Emmet's Triple Decker Couch Mech set (video tutorial below) made before the turn of this decade , year 2019 to be exact. ABOUT SET 31129 Set 31129 was released in the year 2022, and I plan to build  many , many Transformers using it.  However, in this recent ye ..read more

  This is the spiritual successor to one of my older LEGO creation and I'm sure you will fail to guess correctly which one! PROLOGUE Many, many years ago... I made a custom triple changer Transformer character called Railrazor... and he turned into a bullet train and also a space shuttle (video below) And about 2 years ago,  I took the creation above out from my storage and prepared video about it. Oh boy.. what a taxing experience ! I remembered enjoying building it years before! On retrospect.... it was a fragile train wreck when handled as a "fully built toy".   De ..read more

  As a child, very few G1 Transformers jet planes excited me. Needlenose is one of the luckier ones. PROLOGUE G1 Transformers from the 1980s offered many many forms of jets fighters , and half of them have pretty similar transformations , like team seekers for example, where the nosecone ended up as the chest. Me however, used to have a more exquisite taste, demanded a different transformation style.  And G1 Needlenose fitted the bill ABOUT LEGO SET 31124: SUPER ROBOT This is a small set , and was released few years ago.. I  was expecting a short run of about 3 Transformers ..read more

  This poor thing suffered development hell for at least 4 months !. PROLOGUE I seldom buy Ninjago sets to build Transformers from, but set 71746 Jungle Dragon caught my eyes for its appealing color scheme . I had made 3 Transformers using the set above before starting this project. One of them was Earthspark Megatron (video below) Not long after Earthspark Megatron was published, I dismantled him and started this project. However....after a few months, I was losing steam at 90% completion. So I put it aside and occasionally took it out to perform minor tweaks.  ABOUT T ..read more

Of all the Dinobots, Snarl is my personal favorite, and I can't believe it took me this long to finally deciding to build him! PROLOGUE As a child, I owned many Transformers toys but most of them were KOs . And my first official Hasbro Transformer was  Horri-bull, which I acquired in my early teens.  I think it was about that same period I was given two official Hasbro G1 Transformers: Snarl and Sandstorm  , hand-me-downs from my cousin who probably outgrew his toys. I admitted I didn't really treat G1 Snarl good, and the last time I saw it.. it's pretty much thrashed ..read more

  Wow... I can't believe It's been more than a year since I tinkered with this set! PROLOGUE In my early days of building Transformers with single LEGO sets 5 years ago, I usually made  only one TF per set and then called it a day. Then I  find the next new sets  to experiment around with . Set 31088: Deep Sea Creatures was one of those sets. And then pandemic happened, and I was  forced to stay indoor, work from home. With limited access to new LEGO sets,  I started to recycle my alternate builds,  and build different variants of Transformers using those ..read more

  This poor creation has been sidelined by me not once, but twice over! PROLOGUE On January , I bought a few newly released LEGO sets for year 2024, and Creator 31145: Red Dragon was one of them. This set was meant to be my first choice to have a Transformer built and published on the same month (of all the year 2024 sets I bought).  I noticed the many ball joints from the set, which is good. However... there are macaroni* pieces that the ball joints are connected to, which is not so good. *The existence of  macaroni pieces (big or small)  in Dreamzzz sets is also ..read more

  Out from the magical realm, this Unicorn is finally reformatted into a real-world scientific tool... and beyond! PROLOGUE Last year, I was torn between getting this LEGO Creator 31140: Magical Unicorn  and the Space shuttle set of the same price in a LEGO store. I was very tempted with the articulations on the Unicorn legs compared to a static-looking space shuttle.  However.... the latter won out of instincts alone! So I proceeded to built a Transformer using the space shuttle set (video below) Finally, early this year... I decided to purchase the Unicorn set and ..read more

  This is definitely gonna be one of my top 5 favorite creations this year, and the year has barely started! PROLOGUE LEGO 31152: Space Astronaut below was a definite purchase for me as soon as it went on sale last month.  The choice is clear: I can see many useful hinges simply by observing the box art showing the astronaut main model (below) frictional joints, ball joints and even the ever-so-useful hinge plates on the elbows! I'm thrilled! Not long I acquired the set above, I unboxed and built the space-dog.  I skipped   the space fighter astronaul models alt ..read more

Frankly speaking, of all the Megatron alternate modes in  Transformers cartoon series, the one from Transformers:Prime is one of my least favorite! PROLOGUE LEGO Creator set 31121: Crocodile  was released in the year 2021 and I only managed to purchase it on 2022.  Over the years.... I managed to build some Decepticon leaders using this set.  ( Click here for list of videos of them). And prior to this project,  I  broke the combo and  build an Autobot (Grimlock)  with the set . I  remembered once reading  comments  in my videos ..read more
