Technic Lego sculpture of Optimus Prime that is fully transformable. 24 in long in truck mode, about 19 in tall in robot mode. The truck mode isn't based on a specific model of semi. The robot mode and transformation are based off of Laser Optimus Prime. In truck mode, the guns peg into the thighs to form the fuel tanks.

While he has quite a few points of articulation, Prime is tricky to balance. He has quite a few more parts than my first attempt. But he can stand on his own and looks great in both modes.

Pictures were taken with my point-and-shoot, which doesn't like to shoot things close up even when set to macro. I didn't feel like mucking about with editing the photos, so here they are raw.

That's incredible! Did you use Skopio (the titanic Bionicle vehicle) for parts?

Yep, Skopio was used. I really wish Lego produced more sets with Technic ratcheting joints. Got lucky and found a Toys'R'Us that somehow had one (the last one) after all this time.

I've always wondered about those joints, because I haven't seen them in any other sets.

Good God, man, this thing is SICK. He's got working "pistons", he fully transforms, and it's fully articulated - all while being made out of LEGOs.

Now make a Megatron to go with 'im. ;P

I build transformers all the time out of legos. Not always Transformers, just MOCs that transform. Just got done with a pair of triple changers.
