@@cassidyjones2730 In the G1 cartoon, Megatron turns into a Walther P-38 pistol. If we're going by his gun mode in the original cartoon, he should be about 6 inches tall and weigh a little over 2 pounds if Megatron was scaled to match the size of his alt mode.
@@cassidyjones2730 He could have a stealth bomber mode like he had in the IDW comics. Stealth bombers are enormous, so if IDW Megatron was scaled to the size on his alt mode, he could reach 50 ft. tall depending on how the proportions change during the transformation.
It’s both incredibly impressive and viscerally depressing how you made a *LEGO* Seeker that transforms better, looks better *AND* poses better than the earthrise seekers
Something I've noticed after watching LEGO transformers channels like this are that the mechanics and techniques you can use are so vitally different. I think that's what makes these things so fascinating.
@@BenBoyee Mostly because of how similar they are to the Classic Seekers mold. Slightly updated, of course, but generally disappointing compared to other current figures.
@@uainjansun im- _F17?!?!??!?_ literally doesnt exist. He's an F15 Eagle in the G1 cartoons, an F16 (or something close to it) in TFP, and an F22 Raptor in the films.
I think this looks great in both modes, at least on camera. So impressive to me how people are able to create actual lego transformers that aren't oversized.
Beautiful design and engineering, just stunning! Would love to see your take on G1 Megatron, many I've seen here on youtube have (understandably) weid proportions
I have a idea in mind for another G1 deception you could make before or after you create Megatron you could try your own take on Blitzwing since he's a triple changer it might be difficult since you have to construct it out of lego
I'm not really a fan of how a c-clip and a rod thing (forgot what theyre called) is used as a transformation tab meant to be clipped and unclipped, especially since its on the feet area, where the robot mode has to stand on. This is mainly because of a hindered longevity as, at least in my experience, clipping an unclipping a c-clip onto an enclosed rod thing (once again, dont remember the actual name) numerous times doesnt end well for the clip part, and ive had multiple clips snap on me because they were either used in a build that didnt allow them to snap in fully or were simply being unclipped one time too many. I am aware that lego doesnt really make 1x1 ratchet hinge thingies, which is the only pther piece that could fit in that location, but I feel like this could be taken into account for future builds. Also, the reason why I mentioned the ratchet hinge thingy is because the side that has the two circles that go around the centered, beveled circle is actually desighned to be a loose-ish fit for c-clips, and is legal. The connection is stable but can easily be removed without fear of snapping the clip, and has been used in at least one set for this exact purpose (the razor crest uses this connection on the removable part of the windscreen). Anyways the rest of the build looks great, its just the way the toe tabs into the foot that makes me worry about longevity.
You're right, that applies to all clips and bars - all of which fail over time (due to stress fracture) even when not under load. That's why I was astonished that the arm connections, on the official Voltron set, somehow passed the final product review phase. It was the first thing I changed about that spuriously designed monstrosity. I mean, what kind of monster creates a connection that; * Uses multiple clips and bars. * Is designed to be repeatedly connected and disconnected. * Intended as a load bearing structure. * And, is also subject to torsional forces. Absolute degeneracy!
@@liberatumplox625 man the most recent set I got was the 90th anniversary galaxy explorer (havent built the alt builds yet because I like the main build too much) and I really am not a fan of how the rear locks together. But I also dont have the best or most easily accessible parts collection so Idk if I'll get around to fixing it. I think the main reason that drove me away from liking c clips was a moc I did at one point that had the wings at an angle using c clips, but it wasnt perfectly calculated which meant that they sat at a slight angle. I went through like three c clip parts in like a week. I admit the connection was slightly illegal but I didnt expect it to be that ridiculous, but now I do. Dont get me wrong, c clips are great for hinges in lego builds, but they should be left to hinges that don't do much more than maybe opening a door or canopy or just having an angled thing or having a bar attached to a thing, never a locking mechanism meant to be repeatedly clipped and unclipped.
does this mean well get skywarp, thundercracker, thrust, dirge, ramjet, the rainmakers, sunstorm, sandstorm, nacelle, slipstream, slaughterhouse, wheezing arrow, hotlink, cloudcover, blast, redwing, and blackout?
@@tfan2222 Technically storage, yes. But they at least tried to make them look like wings, weapons, and a couple of them had spring-loaded missiles, plus the instructions did call them official "Attack modes".
Can you try making transit since they just released the deleted scene of transit vs Optimus and you’ll also be the first lego RU-vidr to make a rise of the beasts transit! I would love to see it because I love your robot designs you use on your transformers!
Megatron is gonna be a nightmare unless you just make him just a big mounted gun or a tank instead of an actual blaster pistol that starscream can use.
you have two maximal missing rhinox and airazor and can you plss do a tutorial on your maximals i mean if you only want to but if you don't want to that's fine by me
you know if your having trouble designing a Megatron maybe you should try taking inspiration from LoganFilmStudious [V1] G1 Megatron. The video doesn’t have a tutorial, but he does use a technique where he uses tires as the scope for his gun in both modes. You don’t have to but the help is there if you need it.
I design my transformers physically with real bricks, not in an app/program. Once the model is designed I rebuild it in Stud.io to choose colours and create a bricklink wishlist
I need the instructions to build him. Seriously your work is incredible, kibble or not! Who cares about the robot mode showing in the jet mode? It's legos, the fact it transforms makes such a little thing barely a nitpick!
When you make your own Megatron and Soundwave, will their alt modes be an oversized gun and boombox? Or will they have common or unique vehicles modes. I know they’re G1, but honestly, their original alt modes kinda suck. So I thought you could take inspiration from other versions, like Animated Megatron and Prime Soundwave. What do you think?
Personally I love Soundwave as a cassette player, so I wouldn't want to change him, and while I have no attachment to Megatron as a gun it would feel like the easy way out/cop out to make him something different, since the gun transformation is such a challenging one to make work.
