Swordy Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Hello there! Casual Transformers enjoyer here, randomly popping in to ask: What is the census for a hypothetical LEGO Transformers CMF? I feel like the Autobots/Decepticons would translate really well into minifig form, and could allow for certain fanfavourites to be made, so long as their vehicle-versions . (WE WANT MEGATRON!) Obviously it would potentially cut into Hasbro’s sales. Still, it’s not impossible, right? Also, just watched Transformers One and had a blast at that, and I’m itching to build a MOC of Megatron in G1 form. like Hachiroku24 built for Optimus. At this point I’d settle for a Brickheadz, lol. Any tips or recommendations? Quote

Regards, Mitch Thanks! Sounds like Soundwave will be $180, at that price I'm hoping he's got at least 2-3 casseticons with him. But I know I'll be buying him no matter what... 9 hours ago, Swordy said: Hello there!

Any tips or recommendations? I'd like it, we know from Kre-o that it would probably do well, but so long as lego keeps transformers as an adult-oriented part of Icons rather than it's own thing I don't know what the odds are. On the other hand, I really don't think it would cut into Hasbro's sales much- they just scrapped the $10 price point for their main transformers line, which was their cheapest price point, so $5 CMF figs wouldn't really have competition. The Blockees blind bags would probably upstage them, being $2 more for a figure with four times the parts and double the size. The best hope for a lego transformers CMF is Blockees failing to break into the US market, which is a real trolley problem for me as I still only have half of the first wave from when Walmart put them out as an experiment. Call @hachiroku Hawkeye because he literally cannot miss. I'm unaware of any specific G1 megatrons out there at that scale, but I'm sure they exist. I got most of the way through one the size of the Icons Optimus that turns into a cybertronian tank before giving up on the transformation (and honestly I think I could probably get it, there's just so many other projects I have on the backburner that I could see lego doing officially that I want to get them out before one I know lego won't touch.), and I know in terms of icons size there are both non-transforming ones out there and one that turns into a gun that I've seen elsewhere. I think @Soundvox posts a lot of mocs on this forum but they tend to be smaller scale than Hachiroku's. Quote

That would indeed be the challenge, yes. 8 minutes ago, imposter said: It is very weird that LEGO made Optimus Prime so weak. The structural issue in the waist? I assume it was just a design oversight. People have found purist fixes for it. Quote
imposter Posted April 2 Posted April 2 It is not only the waist. All over it could be more sturdy. Quote
Soundvox Posted April 16 Posted April 16 Judging from experience here, I've broke many a clip among other pieces transforming my mini lego transformers figures. I find the official ones to be too large and expensive but Transformers has had a long journey becoming brick form. By the way Kreo did awesome minifigure TF's with psuedo transformations My builds: https://youtu.be/uHMuL2dqAsU https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL8LF4K6xvbXWSZiIrxRRTOKP2RNjjCCJ Quote
