Hello, everyone! My name is Interstellar SKUNK Works, but you can call me Interstellar, or some derivative of "Skunk" for short. (I explain why I chose this name in my bio)

I love action figures, I love robots, I love Lego bricks. I love to build action figures that are robots out of Lego bricks.

 

Over the last two years, I've gained an intense appreciation for the mech-oriented side of the AFOL community, and have come to admire builders such as Lego Duo Moko, Chubby Bots, Marco de Bon, and Celestial Bricks who construct highly articulated figures out of system elements. Though I have studied and taken note of their techniques and stylistic achievements in the past, starting this year, I want to finally begin building my own mechs and action figures in my own style, and I'd love to be accompanied by all of you on Eurobricks along the way.

I've participated in parts of the AFOL community in the past, but this is the first time I intend to take the full plunge, ask for feedback, and learn whatever I can from others. Although the designs I build are my own, I believe that going forward and improving my skills are just as dependent on help from others. In return, I hope I can be helpful to other MOC builders participating in discussions and posts as well.

Here are some WIP Studio renders of my first few designs:

A few of you may have recognized this post's title as a reference to Transformers. This is not only because I am a fan of Transformers, but because this iconic cast of robots is one theme in particular I want to build my skill in. There are some amazing transformer MOCs out there, but overall, I think these bots deserve a better presence in the Lego community. I've seen great builds, yes, but the best seem underappreciated, and many others seem to use very simplistic designs. Although it's ambitious, over time, I'd love to raise the bar for how the heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons receive representation in brick form, and direct attention to some builders who I think deserve more. With an official Lego Optimus Prime now directing more people to this facet of the community, I think it is a very good time to start.

I look forward to participating in the EB forums,

Transformers are great so those builds transform or are they just action figures?
