I thought it was time for another of my Transformers, Sunstreaker this time. As with Optimus, this is based on IDW's comics “Infiltration” to “Revelations” from 2008. (That's why he is a Diablo and not a Countach.) I started in September 2010 and finished in May 2014. It have been on my MOCpages since then and I recently added it to flickr too.

Sunstreaker Car Detail by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr And as with my Optimus, he can transform. Sunstreaker Robot 1 by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr Sunstreaker Robot back by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr I made a video showing the transformation (no sound. 2x speed) (I will make one or more that explain in more detail at some point but don't hold your breath) And here a reference pictures from the comic “Transformers Infiltration”.

Tech and items don't count in challenges (should remember to put that in the rule text) So, sorry but puting rocket lanchers on your building won't give you extra awesomnium

Cool vehiacle. Espesily the rounded front. And Raven was in charge of the attack so it's not strange to think she's responsible. Either she ordered it or lost controle of the situation so it could well be seen as her fault. And someone wanting revenge is good for story. Maybe I can make colaburations with you insted of mccoyed/koro

Opps (I blame the interactiv map )

Challenge 4: There's No Place Like Home Almost a year has passed since the three corporations arrived in the Andromeda Galaxy. They have encountered many hardships but endured. Thanks to their tireless efforts and the GATEs connecting so many rich planets the colonies are growing at an astonishing rate. Nowhere is it more true than the home worlds. Farmolis, Orinshi and Torresta are the hubs of their respective corporations and where all trade with the Milky Way passes through. Each home world is now starting to rival small colonies in the Milky Way in size and wealth. And nothing indicates they will stop growing anytime soon. Category A – My Home Make a building in any scale. It could be where your sigfig lives (when not on a mission). The building has to be on your company home planet. Judging: Entries will be judged between 1 and 10. Rewards: Winner will receive 50 credits, the corporation of the winner receives an additional 10 gold, 10 copper and 10 mithril. Winning corporation will receive 200 awesomnium, 100 water, 100 biomass and 10 gold, 10 copper and 10 mithril. Category B – My Neighbourhood Make a part of the city. It could be a street view or micro city. The city has to be on your company home planet. Judging: Entries will be judged between 1 and 10. Rewards: Winner will receive 50 credits, the corporation of the winner receives an additional 10 gold, 10 copper and 10 mithril. Winning corporation will receive 200 awesomnium, 100 water, 100 biomass and 10 gold, 10 copper and 10 mithril. Rules for all categories: All rules in the General Rules thread apply unless stated otherwise. Players will earn credits according to their score. There is no size restriction. Players can only build on their respective home worlds. The challenge will run from April 2nd to May 2nd. As long as it is still May 2nd somewhere in the world, you can still enter. Entries posted after the deadline will be disqualified from the challenge and will not be scored. Entries will be judged according to the General Rules. This challenge is open to all players of Andromeda's Gates, even if they joined EB or signed up for the game after the challenge has begun; the Andromeda's Gates staff, EB admins and moderators are not eligible to win prizes but may earn credits. All entries must be new creations, not posted anywhere else prior to being entered in the challenge. You may be asked by a staff member to change your entry if it is too similar to an earlier creation. All entries must be built from real LEGO or with Lego Digital Designer. No clone brands, no third-party custom parts. All entries must be posted as a new topic in the Andromeda's Gates subforum, the title prefixed by, "[Challenge 4][Cat X]". (For example, "[Challenge 4][Cat A] Building name".) Post pictures no larger than 1000x720, as specified in the EB Member Guidelines. For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited. All entries are considered WIPs (Works In Progress) until the deadline passes. Until the deadline has passed, you are allowed to change and improve your MOC. Alien builds: Aliens are allowed to compete in all categories. Alien players can place their builds anywhere except the three home worlds. Winning a category with an alien build will only award credits. Domination and resources: As you can only build on your home planet, domination points will be awarded there and resources will only be awesomnium. Determining winning corporation For each category, the corporation score is calculated by adding 0.2 point for each participant to the average of all the participant's scores. The winning corporation for category is the one with the highest score. Overall winner The corporation which scored most points, all categories scores added together, wins the challenge and will receive an additional: 50 gold, 50 copper and 50 mithril.

Thanks. I have a few flick missiles and wanted to see what could be done with them. Many of the things would probbly look beter with other parts. Had to read about it but yes, it quolify Other, les formal executions/punishements would be keelhauling and cement shoes (or tied to canon ball for pirate stile ). So much to choose from. Glad you like the walkway. It was the first thing I thought of.

Location: B08 Tags: Land vehicle, Exploration. Raven is inspecting the construction of an off shore base. (Mostly en excuse for getting down to a planet after traveling across the galaxy) Small talk One of the technichans is on a break and takes a ride on a jet ski. Michael is trying to start a conversation with Raen who seems to be in a bad mood (but that is hard to tell from her regular expression) So, how was the trial? It was ok. He was found guilty. Not so surprising when he basicaly confessed. The challenge was to determine the sentence for 18 counts of human trafficking and selling information to hostile aliens. Yeah, sometimes a lifetime in prison or death doesn't seem to be enough. That would depend on how the death sentence would be carried out. Throwout history humans have invented all kinds of executions meant to be long and painful. Some of my favorites are crucifixion, burned alive and execution by elephant. Elephant? Yes, the sentenced was crushed by a trained elephant. It was a public spectacle and could be drawn out for some time by... Ok. I get it. Horrible ways to die. Still not the worst ways. Did you know the Zards used to execute people by chaining them to poles and have Karraggs eat them. What's a Karragg? Insect like vermin on their home planet, like rats. If you collect a lot and starve them they can eat a Zard. It would take several hours but if the victims moth was protected they could stay alive for many of them. Ok ok, I get it. And because the Zards most common way of burial was to be eaten by the wildlife it's kind of like being buried alive too. Stop! No more talk about death and stuff. But I haven't even gotten to Vlad the impaler. The origin to the Dracula myth. Did you know he found a way to... Enough, ok! Raven sighs and Michael look out over the ocean. Waaa! What is that? It's called a Sea Dragon, an amphibious predator who can live in water and air. Are you reading biology rapports too? No. I just go through the large or dangerous creatures before I go down to a planet. Then Raven get a call. Raven. We need you back at the fleet. An alien fleet is heading our way. Sure. On my way. Sorry Michael, I have to cancel the inspection. Something interesting came up.

Nice build. Both the speeder and terrain is really good. Now to the important part Good find but be careful studying the robot, it could be a Trojan bot. Keep it in a secure facility away from any networks or communications. (I would mention the infection risk but no one ever bothers to wear helmets outside anyway)

Thank you all! This was a fun build and I like how the airplane turned out. Well, there's a thought. Maybe she will if she find a thrill in it. I will have to think about it. (I think she's rather happy doing spying and sabotage but it haven't been much of that latly)

I wouldn't say I'm familiar with them but I know what they stand for and where they are used so I got the plan he was going for (But I think those protocols should be outdated by now ) I made a similar joke/reference in my fourth build. Here is a quote: (Raven was naging on secarity already back then ) A litle offtopic so I go back to your build which have cool wall textures and use of transparent bricks but I'm not a fan of peices not conecting properly (the tiles on the 92280s) Still a good build overall.

Thank you. It's an Easter egg (good timing too) for one of my earlier builds (also used in my challenge3) Thanks. I thought it was time to earn that exploration tag for a change Maybe the “trees” are scorpion tales Luckily Raven had to return before she could check it out. I wonder if she'd rater fight plant monsters then attend a trial at the other side of the galaxy

Wow, SpacerSteve was right The next one was MANTIS. Welcome to Andromefa TLC.

Location: B08 Tags: Exploration, Spaceship (well, airplane) Raven is out test flying a new aircraft when she notice an area with unusually dense vegetation (for Greater Direstan at least) and fly in to take a closer look. While she is flying her assistant call. Sorry to disturb but you will have to return. You have been invited by MANTIS to attend a trial on Forring at the 20th of Marzn. On Forring? That's on the other side of the galaxy. Why am I even invited to a MANTIS trial? Octan was invited too. MANTIS consider this a matter of high importance and want representatives from all three companies to attend and Forring was better for Octan. It appear that one of MANTIS's own high accountants have been charged with selling information to the Zoids and by doing so, assisted in Human trafficking. Now they wish to demonstrate that, despite their reputation, they can and will prosecute their own according to the law. So I'm supposed to travel all the way to F03 just to sit through some formality. Can't you send someone else? You are kind of important for representing the company and you have a spot on the jury. Seriously. I'm busy enough just leading a company and now I'm supposed to judge too. Raven turn around and fly back to base.

I think it's in here somwhere but I just tell you instead of searshing around. You go to the Planets and Players Index and find your entry. click on the "sigfig" link and copy the image adress. This one: http://bakahomepage.com/EB/AG/media/img/playersig/fiddyb.png Then you go to your profile, click "edit profile", find "signature" and add that image.

Correct. But the most important thing is that you have fun building (says I who just added a airplain to my build. But it was fun building it )

Nice build. You can get spying for your job bonus. A ship interior is a building but do not qualify for spaceship. (finaly, military and building are two different tags but a lot of people write them together because of the tech text but it's no big deal. To bad none of them give us anything) But remember, the game is about building and having fun. Don't worry about the tags (I have sene far worse)

The inside of a military spaceship should get the military and building tags if it contains at lest one wall. The second is harder. I think we said that if a fleet get stuck it would have to build its way out but I will discuss this and the fleet move order with the others.

Please buy a Domination for dummies to VK-318 Thank you.

Yes, the base look a little empty. Another way to fix it would be to make small plants on small plates (2x2 4x4) and place them on the ground. Preferably on a green background (like a large sheet of paper from a hobby store). Just a suggestion. The plane look good. I like the folding wings and the radar dish part for a tail.

I'm surprised they didn't drive away in a car with cans after But I'm all for not jamming every possible tag in every build.

That last picture (suddenly having a giant caldron, or just taking time from a secret mission to make soup) made me think. Is she related to pombe? His mother, or grand mother perhaps? Or more people have the pombe powers of madness. Cool build anyway. I like the color and the creatures.

Interesting story. The lava look really good, especially in the last photo and fun use of the small demons. Raven will be very disappointed and really angry at whoever lost that probe.

Kawashita deny any involvement with the slave taking Zoid hives and denounce all such actions. That "Kawashita employee" must have been a red shirt clone gone wrong

Nice build. Now if you could just make the plants look more alien that be great That last was a joke inspired by your first line. It does sound like Raven to go “Good job on stopping a possible zombie mutant apocalypse while losing an arm in the process. Now get back to your real job”

Got to love that enhance button (and pressing it again just made the joke even better) I like the details on the wall too.
