A Decade Of Bumblebee

August 13, 2019/ Tommy

Builder Orion Pax has a knack for turning LEGO VW Beetles into transforming Autobots, namely Bumblebee. Below we see his latest version, rooted in LEGO 10252, but below that (and dating back ten years!) is his rendition based on LEGO 10187.

Autobots...Roll Out

February 17, 2015/ Tommy

While I'm not the biggest Transformers fan, and certainly not a Michael Bay fan, this MOC really caught my eye. It takes some serious building chops to get this much form and detail into such a small package. I never thought I'd see a MOC of the movie Optimus Prime at this scale, but here he is, and he's pretty awesome.

Tiny Transformers

February 02, 2014/ Tommy

What has less than 50 pieces, transforms and is adorable? These guys. M<0><0>DSWIM decided to take a break from bigger MOCs and do a little micro building, and these are the results. These could be an entire series of cool little polybags, if only LEGO had this license.
