bricked one Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) My transformable G1 Optimus Prime, it took a whole lot less time to create than my jazz, but I'm equally satisfied with it being my second legoformer. Even though he contains no ball joints of any sort, he is extremely poseable. He can even bend his legs and arms outwards.Optimus prime's alt mode is smooth and slick without any exposed joints. Includes trailer, Roller, Matrix of Leadership, Energon axe, and his Ion cannon much like masterpiece optimus prime. Transformation Weapons and Matrix of Leadership Roller, first 3 wide version ever! (or at least I haven't seen one before) And too top it off, its radio controlled with a IR receiver, battery box, and 2 m-motors.

Legostein Posted October 1, 2011 Hello! I am always impressed by convertible mocs, and this is no exception. It's amazing how the nice inconspicuous truck suddenly completely transforms into a menacing battle machine. Cheers, ~ Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petamas Posted October 1, 2011 Wow. Just Wow. Masterpiece. How much pieces does it use? Where can I find your Jazz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hiawatha Posted October 1, 2011 That is incredible. It must have took a lot of work to figure out how to create a MOC that can transform from a vehicle to an alien . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brainbox Posted October 1, 2011 Wow, I love it! Particular kudos for managing to hide all the joints so seamlessly in truck mode, always one of the more difficult things to do. And he's posable to boot! Plus, well... come on, it's Prime! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toadtorrent Posted October 2, 2011 Uuuuuh...I can't talk...my jaw just kit the floor!! Wow...AMAZING!!! The model in robot form is stunning in itself...one of the best renditions of Prime I've seen...and transformable??? Please post details on the build if you can!!!!!!!

1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted October 2, 2011 I always wanted to see a Lego Transformer, and this is the first one I see. I must say that I'm very impressed, far above my expectactions. The model looks very natural both as a truck and as a robot! Thanks for sharing this with us, and I hope that you make more of this. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mugbearer Posted October 2, 2011 Prime is just awe-some! x3 I like this MOC so much! He's really similar to cartoon character! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bricked one Posted October 2, 2011 thanks everyone for your nice comments @legostein Thanks,the goal for all my transformers is to make them look like regular city vehicles, another reasons my cars are 6-7 studs wide and my trucks 8 studs. @petamas Jazz can be found Here Maybe I'll post the updates on him sometime soon. I dont have an answer for your other question though @Hiawatha Thanks, at this scale transforming is easy, poseability and stability isn't and it really doesn't help have no ball joints available. But I guess it's part of the challenge. @Brainbox Hiding all the joints wasn't that hard because they were all simple bricks and technic pieces, and when you have alot of exposed joints it looks really messy. @toadtorrent Well' Ive been working on this for quiet awhile, the head took two tries to get right and I discovered a basic design that with some modifications I could make the head of just about all of the G1 transformers. His shoulders and torso are pretty close to thier initial design. But their connection was a nightmare because making his shoulders posable really stumped me. The legs and arms fell right in place with a small spacer in between to level the cab. The power functions trailer was merely a well thought out idea and wouldn't have been possible without the jackpot of light bleys at the lego store and the donated PF stuff. And of course it wouldn't have been complete without a roller that took 2 days to come up with. If what you meant by "Build" was, how is this put together, then go ahead and ask away. @johnnyvgoode So far I've only made Optimus, Jazz, and Starsream who just needs his arms and legs, but I plan to make most of all G1. @N13OS Thanks, to make sure he looked as G1 as possible I ended up watching a lot of original series and buying some of the newer G1 styled comics, but sadly I never had and still don't have an actual action figure. BTW, if you have a moc pages account and you liked my Optimus, can you rate him up. I'm trying to reach 50+ likes Link Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also you can visit my MOCPages and find here a Soundwave Action Figure. Unfortunately, it's made in LDD, but still he's cool. ^^ Edited October 2, 2011 by -N13OS- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanma Posted October 3, 2011 Wow, this is impressive. I must say Legoformers always interest me, but this one in particular is great. Not only does it include the Energon ax and roller, but he also has the Matrix. A lot of time and details must have gone into this creation, and then to make it transformable gives it even more glory. Nice to know that you also researched the figure in order to make it.

Runamuck Posted October 4, 2011 That Optimus is simply amazing. I like the small details, like the taillights on the feet. One minor thing, I would have preferred the original version of “The Touch” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrangeKNight Posted October 4, 2011 And what a surprise you had waiting for me at BrickCon, your gundams were AWESOME!!! Back on topic, thanks guys, I'm glad you liked it! Waaaaaaaaat?

Please say you didn't bring anything, cause that'll make feel much better about not noticing if you did bring something! xD Mike not to worry, I brought nothing, I wasn't sure if I would make it or not so I didn't plan anything -- also Ive changed the whole lower half so that the waist spins 180 and the wheels are towards the back of his legs, but I'm stumped on a new foot design, any ideas?(I just cant stop changing my mocs here and there lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Builder Posted October 5, 2011 This is just such an amazing MOC dude! I really like what you've done with this guy in such a small space. I hope this makes it to the frontpage! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artanis I Posted October 5, 2011 This will always be the "real" Optimus Prime for me. You've captured him so well! The vehicle mode just looks perfect. I never had Optimus either, but I do have Ultra Magnus (same cab, recoloured) and your build looks remarkably similar. Only thing: maybe a darker blue?
