    RECAP!!! From the very get go.... I've been aiming to build B-127 using official LEGO Bumblebee set 10338, which I purchased last year . However.. I knew I must slowly warm myself up to the parts provided from the set and get myself used to them. Before this project Bee... I managed to clock in 3 Transformers MOCs , with each one progressively more challenging to built than the previous ones. like Metroplex below. Upon completing Metroplex last month, I guess its time for me to focus on project Bee! And the rest is history! PROJECT BEE Only parts from set 10338 were used in this project. And transformation between robot and vehicle mode doesn't requires reassembly of parts. ROBOT MODE His integrated energon blades feature is a must-built since this newfound abilitiy of him elevated his status to become Badassatron!!! Note that I deliberately switch to a non-blue background to make sure his energon blades are visible in the photos!

    Dragon Megatron is the leader of bad guys in Beast Wars cartoon series back in the 1990s. He had many alternate modes and dragon is his final mode from the series. Here , I have built my own Dragon Megatron using only parts from lego set 31129! And this creation here is my 11th Transformers built using this set!!

    LEGO set 31161: Medieval Dragon is a brand new set released this year. And it totally blew me away when it comes to the parts inside this set. From the outside, the dragon mode might seemed to be pretty sleek and all. But internally..... the limbs and and tail are powered by a bunch of ball joints. The set above will be my main focus to build many,many Transformers in the coming months. And to start the ball rolling..... building tutorial will be free for this first one, and every other TFs I made using this set. ABOUT HUNG-GRR Hung-grr is the leader of team Terrorcon from G1 Transformers cartoon series, turning into a 2-headed dragon. He formed the body of combiner Abominus with his other 4 team members. For my first attempt in building Transformers using a specific LEGO set , I will keep it simple. It's an exercise to endear myself to the parts provided from that set and it's future potential of alternate modes. So Hung-grr was chosen simply because transformation to his dragon mode was simple for the lower half of the robot ! However..... my creation here will not have combiner ability because I am not too keen on the rest of the terrorcon members. four heads are better than two! VIDEO TUTORIAL! Note that the step-by-step tutorial in video above is complete, EXCEPT for the robot head and dragon front legs. They're quite easy to build simply by staring at the photos long enough. This is a special mini challenge to improve your observational and building skill !! You (and your kids) will thank me! Alternatively..... you can buy the complete building instructions in PDF document format via my rebrickable.com page (link below) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-212995/alanyuppie/transformer-two-headed-dragon-hung-grr-lego-31161-alternate-creation/#details Thanks for the support !!

    Megatron turned into a winged dragon in Transformer Beast Wars series , shown back in the 1990s. Now , you can build one on your own, using only the parts from LEGO Creator set 31150: Wild Safari Animals! I was planning to build a Dragon Transformer in Year of the Dragon (2024). But I guess better late than never :) In my creation here, transformation between dragon and robot mode doesn't require reassembly of parts. ROBOT MODE VIDEO..! BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS! Well.... for every other Transformers I built using LEGO set 31150 so far, free building instructions /tutorials are provided.

    31129 Majestic Tiger alternate creation: Transformer Scorponok/Scorpion (Medium Category) This is my 10th... yes... TENTH Transformer made using LEGO set 31129 !!
  6. alanyuppie
    Scorponok a member of Team Decepticons from G1 Transformers cartoon series. As a triple changer, he turned into a mechanical scorpion, and also a huge base as well. Now you can build Scorponok using only parts from LEGO set 31129!! In the original toy, Scorponok is a Headmaster, where his head separated from his body, to become a smaller humanoid in mecha suit. My creation here however.. preserved his head in both robot and scorpion mode. Original G1 Scorpy comes with Fasttrack, a mini tank that turned into a robot . My version of Scorpy here, however..... will include a mini tank that doesn't transform MORE PHOTOS IN MY BLOG LINK BELOW! https://alanyuppie.blogspot.com/2025/01/video-tutorial-transformer-scorponok.html VIDEO TUTORIAL! The following video contains FREE building tutorial for this fine specimen above, EXCEPT the mini tank and shield.

    31152 Space Astronaut Alternate creation: Transformer Tiger (Large category) A roaring start to a brand new year I'd say!!
  8. alanyuppie
    I'm at it again! Last year I made a few Transformers beasts using official LEGO sets. And experience gained led to try and built another one , using LEGO Creator 31152 this time! THe biggest challenge unique to this project was using the remaining parts to built the animal tail! Most of the ball joints from the set have already being utilized, so I'm forcing myself to be creative to find a way to implement its tail. Builders remorse crept in while shooting photos of this MOC: I should've built a longer tail! The hind legs are locked in. However, this doesn't stop it from displaying a "ready-to-pounce" stance. As always... I'm very generous with poseability of my Transformers MOCs. He even has waist swivel! VIDEO! BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS!

    Transformer two-headed dragon using set 31121: Crocodile (Small Category) Definitely not the last dragon Transformer I'm going to build in the coming weeks/months!
  10. alanyuppie
    Since this year (2024) is the Year of the Dragon in Chinese zodiac, I've been thinking to build a Transformer dragon using official LEGO set. However, I kinda forgotten about this plan until last month! So I scrambled to find the right lego set to start a dragon project. And finally.... this alt MOC is born! This 2-headed dragon transformer is built using only parts from set 31121: Crocodile . And this is my 7th (Yes, SEVENTH) Transformer made using the said set. Seasoned G1 Transformers fans might recognise this MOC as Hung-grr, a Decepticon from teamTerrorcons that turned into similar alternate mode. Noticed the tan colored triangular parts below his necks. THey're important to stabilize the heavy necks and heads from sagging. ROBOT MODE As always..transformation between modes doesn't require reassembly of parts. More photos in my blog link below https://alanyuppie.blogspot.com/2024/12/video-tutorial-transformers-two-headed.html VIDEO TUTORIAL LAST WORDS.. I'm not done with dragons yet! I'm anxiously waiting for next year's LEGO Creator Dragon to build another Dragon Transformer from.!.

    10338 Bumblebee alternate creation: Transformer Lion (Large Category) I'm on a roll with set 10338! Shall be cranking or a dozen more alt builts with it in the coming years!
  12. alanyuppie
    Move over Bumblebee! Bumblebeast is in the house!This project is my second custom Transformer made using only parts from LEGO 10338 Bumblebee. This project started life with intention to build a Tiger mode . But as I go along building the animal head with chunkier slopes... it looked pretty good as a lion, too! And the yellow color scheme helps to pivot the project to this outcome. Transformation from robot to animal mode doesn't require reassembly of parts! The rear legs are locked in in lion mode. However... there are still some articulations on his front legs.

    Thanks. I'm a fan of G1 TRansformers and had been attempting to build Transformers characters since I was a kid back in the 1980s. Thanks to modern lego sets with ball joints, I'm having a field day building alternate creations/transformers with them. Can't wait to get my hands on upcoming 2025 Creator dragon set!

    31150 Wild Safari Animals alternate build (Medium category) I'm planning to complete all 5 members of team Dinobots.
  15. alanyuppie
    LEGO Creator 31150 is a powerhouse set that was released in the year 2024 and is one of my favorite set to built Transformers from. Swoop is my 3rd Transformer made using set 31150: Wild Safari Animals.. He is a character from G1 Transformers cartoon series. He is a member of team Dinobots, a group of Transformers that turned into dinosaurs / prehistoric creatures. Swoop turned into a mechanical Pteranodon. Just like most of my LEGO Transformers creations, transformation between robot and alternate mode doesn't requires reassembly of parts. And he is very poseable and articulated, too!

    If I post my new MOCs/contest entries here, and also in other sites online (like facebook,youtube, my own blog). Will this be allowed? I built alternate creations from official LEGO sets frequently and post video tutorials online on how to build them.

    As a fan of Creator theme, this year (2024) is quite an exciting year for me. I build Transformers alternative creations and sets with decent parts count and ball joints are highly desirable. And set 31152: Space Astronaut fits the bill! Upon acquiring set 31152, I immediately build the space puppy model, and skipped the other 2 main models as I was very excited to MOC something out of it! To get the ball rolling ... I made a Thundertank Transformer using the said set. Thundertank is one of the most iconic vehicle from Thundercats cartoon series from the 1980s. One of the main feature in this tank is the pop up cannons from inside the cabin, which I implemented in my creation as well. The robot mode is articulated and very posable. \ BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS Building instructions can be purchased from my rebrickable page (link below) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-174217/alanyuppie/thundertank-from-thundercats-cartoon-transformer-alternative-built-of-set-31152-space-astronaut/#details

    Name: SkyTrax Allegiance: Autobot Alt Modes: Seaplane, Excavator This project was Inspired by a sketch shown in TF:Generations book published back in the early 2000's. Since I am a fan of triple changer, I have been harboring intentions to build it one day , using LEGO of coz! And that day finally came (early last year), when I discovered the toy prototype of this TF actually exists ,despite not being used in G1 Transformers (below). What a shame! And off I go! First 3 months progress were really fast and I'm almost done building in 6 months. It took me another year to put a closure to this due to me procrastinating* and felt unsure of its final color scheme. *I actually initiated 5 other lego triple changer projects between this one. EXCAVATOR MODE I kinda lowered my bar here. Usually I prefer to use real working tracks for my LEGO creations. This time around, due to complexity of triple changers... I must implement "fake" tracks. SEAPLANE MODE Propeller was the last thing I applied before wrapping this project up. Initially its a 2-blade prop, but I took the liberty to confirm my design by googling photos of seaplanes to discover 3-blade is much common. ROBOT MODE He ended up top heavy with huge back kibble. Luckily his wide footprints ensured his stability. For more photos especially on how he transforms from 1 mode to another, visit my blog link below: https://alanyuppie.blogspot.com/2020/08/lego-transformer-triple-changer_30.html After this .. I shall return to completing my Astrotrain, Doubledealer and Octane. Do follow me on instragram to see my work in progress www.instagram.com/alanyuppie78

    After a spark of inspiration last month, I immediately halted my project LEGO Astrotrain in favor of this one . And I vowed to complete and publish it before Xmas. So here I am. Can you guess which component/carriage took up most of my building time? You'd be surprised! One fun thing about building LEGO TF is the uncertainties and pleasant suprises along the way. I never intended this bot to have weapons or turn into war machines, but somehow... here's what mid-transformation ended up looking. Building the tree took up disproportionately longer time than the rest of the carriages and train, since the tree conceals the robot hand*. I think I revised the tree design for more than 4 times before I settled down for this one: *the hand is MORE than 2 studs wide no thanks to the protruding finger parts. This makes things much harder , than concealing a hand that's exactly 2 studs wide inside the tree. Despite the size, the Robot mode is fairly articulated and poseable, thanks to the chunky train coaches as legs For more photos, as usual... check out my blog link here: https://alanyuppie.blogspot.com/2019/12/lego-christmas-train-transformer.html And if you got bout 16 minutes to spare....view a vid of this creation in my youtube channel too! You'll get to see how the transformation/merging goes. Merry Christmas everyone ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-trNtnV5j8

    Name: Apeface Allegiance: Decepticon Subgroup: Headmaster Horrorcons Alternate modes: Jet plane and gorilla Motto: Obnoxiousness is not a problem. It is an art ========== Actually this guy was never in my to-built list.. but since this is "year of triple changers" for me, and Apeface is sort of a low-hanging fruit compared to other triple changers when it comes to complexity, I give that a shot. Compared to the original G1 Apeface.. some compromises must be made in the form of a different-looking jet mode. Hope you guys like my rendition! The ball joints used for the gorilla rear legs are too weak to hold his body up. So he can't stand upright . With LEGO Snapdragon I rebuilt few months earlier. (He's not a Headmaster though). To view more photos especially how he transform between modes, proceed to my blog entry below: https://alanyuppie.blogspot.com/2019/10/lego-triple-changer-apeface-part-2-of-2.html Follow me in Instagram please! https://www.instagram.com/alanyuppie78/

    Building instructions up in my blog guys! https://alanyuppie.blogspot.com/2019/09/instructions-for-lego-transformer.html And a short vid too !
  22. alanyuppie
    Me too when it first came out last year at retail price, . Hopped right in just for the parts initially . Can't resist 50% discount. :) LOL actually the tank mode was just an afterthough from fiddling with the transformation. Making him red shouldn't be hard.. just substitute the brown and azure color parts and tiles . However... seems like the latest T shaped mould /part from this set doesn't come in red though.

    Hi guys, In between my major LEGO projects that sucked me many many weeks (months even) of time to complete .. I took a breather by grabbing a lego set and build (yet again) a LEGO Transformer. LEGO set 70842:Emmet's Couch Mech is from LEGO Movie 2 theme and only recently I managed to get it at 50% off. What a bargain! Since the set itself is officially a mech, so most of the parts are useful to build robots as well. The core design was completed by day 3... and I spent another 2 days more to refine it. A microscope mode was created purely out of experimentations since this lego set doesn't have wheels (for land based mode) or adequate number of wedge/slopes (for swooshable plane/space jet mode). Transforming between modes doesn't require reassembly of parts. I'm very pleased to discover this set has parts for me to build the robot fingers as well , compared to just knuckles with holes in them. No wheels ? No problem! here's an extra hover tank mode. INSTRUCTIONS BELOW! Note: children might require adult supervision though. If you're having problems following the building instructions above, you can pay a visit to my blog link below where I posted a detailed instructions with more detailed steps for beginners to follow: http://alanyuppie.blogspot.com/2019/08/instructions-for-lego-transformer.html Have fun!

    Wow really? I had a g1 Sandstorm and it's not mine per se. I was already in my teens when my cousin outgrew his toys/transformers and I picked it up alongside Snarl. I did a very stupid thing a decade later and sold Sandstorm off.

    Broadside is one of my favorite triple changers ever since I set my eyes on his G1 toy photo decades ago. I had a chance to acquire Chinese KO version of him many years ago (bundled together with a few KO combiner limbs) but sadly missed out on it. So I never owned / played with this toy to understand his notoriety as a brick-former in the TF fandom. Anyway... 9 years ago I attempted LEGO Broadside version 1 (below) . VERSION 1 As you can see... the ship mode looks fat and the plane mode has saggy wings. duh! VERSION 2 Few months ago I started this v2 project after I saw a photo of Macross Valkyrie in my FB feed . That's an eureka moment where I kinda got the transformation to jet mode figured out. From there , I took a few breaks in between to retreat, rethink and redo it to get the right shaping in both his alt modes. Inspired by USS Nimitz, the back of the ship mode must be symmetrical to provide more mass to form robot legs, unlike an actual ship show above . Compared to v1, the ship mode v2 here is missing armaments on the deck. This is a nod to G1 Broadside's bio about "his vulnerability in ship mode and the need to rely on his passengers to protect him." USS Titanic is a Transformer too :) One of the transformation step: fold the ship deck to form the jet mode's rear. JET MODE Jet mode was inspired by F-14 Tomcat. Since the ship mode is long, this causes the halved deck to form pretty long wings for the jet. ROBOT MODE! In the actual G1 toy of Broadside, he's equipped with an Axe and also a gun. Here, I've decided to integrate them both as a single weapon (Axe turning to gun)... and it's named Hull-Raiser. :) When not on active duty, he tend to his farm and crops. With fellow triple changers that I built recently, Rodimus Prime and Snapdragon For more photos of Broadside v2 and clearer visuals on how he transform between modes , click on my blog link below: https://alanyuppie.blogspot.com/2019/08/lego-triple-changer-broadside-v2-part-2.html don't forget to follow me below! http://instagram.com/alanyuppie78 https://www.facebook.com/alanyuppiebrick https://www.youtube.com/user/alanyuppie
