One of the best Lego play features I have ever seen in a Lego set

Yeah, just imagine that in a smaller scale with more moveability... like playsets but for adults each sold for 70 or 80-90 cash.

[@laughingbulbasaur3291]

@@macdaddy2344 the set is only $170, but a trailer would bump that up significantly. Especially if they made it do all the battle platform stuff and added roller. I'm not saying a trailer wouldn't have been nice, but Optimus himself is the main important thing.

This is so clean and studless it looks more like a MOC than an official Lego set. Good job Lego

[@StealthBeeKid]

If I heard it correctly, it was kind of a MOC, a former TF Hasbro designer who loved Legos built this and then when he changed jobs to be a Lego Designer he presented this idea, which then became the Lego set

[@cg_spiritedensemble]

I can't believe this is real. Some of the first channels I followed on YT were Lego channels that built their own Transformers & made them transform with little to no parts forming. I was so disappointed when Kre-O weren't able to make their transformers transform. This is amazing. If this line continues i imagine they'll do Bumblebee or Soundwave next. I'm wondering how they'll do Megatron since he can't be a gun anymore. Tank? Jet? Truck? Probably a tank if the WFC trilogy & the Devastation game are anything to go by.

[@Perradocx]

Can't make Megs a tank if TLG wants to stand by their set content guidelines.

[@cg_spiritedensemble]

@@Perradocx Yeah I guess he'd be a Jet then.

[@michyoungie]

I was thinking they can "take" G1 Galvatron's cannon emplacement alt mode and reuse that for Megs, or the animated helicopter as that is rather simple plus animated Megs is already close to G1

[@StealthBeeKid]

Soundwave should go next, he is already a brick in both modes it's not going to be hard

[@i_likemen5614]

@@StealthBeeKid I feel Starscream would be better imo

[@kavaltto]

I took the 5:43 frame to PS and took the "Mouth protection" piece up by half stud, I don't know if it's possible over the real model, maybe just if it has hollow studs under it; but doing such a tweek compressed the the head in heigh, giving it a more sleek appearance. I also try in PS with flipping that same piece so the angle went upward, it also looks good and helps the flat eyes piece to merge with the rest of the face, but again it depends on whats below that piece. I love the model and would accept no knee articulation, but the head is not quite there for me.

[@BaDArxz]

For a second there, I thought you reverse-engineered it already

[@claudioconforti5608]

When I first read it wouldn't have had articulates knees I instantly thought of him. But personally I don't see it as a major downpoint because the set itself is awesome

[@macdaddy2344]

Down point is no trailer and only 1500 pieces for $259.99 ya it transforms and all but that's pretty steep greedy prices

[@macdaddy2344]

Truck looks clean on display but I can't help but think it looks odd missing the trailer all other models I have of him even the first original it has trailer just sticks out to me

[@jaydonmagan4694]

@@Lookman646 Maybe if they spread the eyes out a bit more on that print, it may have looked better. There’s definitely still a small bit of room there. The only way the eyes probably could have looked their best is if LEGO made a new face brick mold that was in the shape of Optimus’s face and mask. But so long as LEGO doesn’t see a need to make a new mold, they’ll find a shortcut with the pieces they have.

I really like how the gun becomes the trailer hitch, I'm surprised no official figures have thought of doing that because it actually works out fantastically. Also to be completely honest I think I'm gonna buy a bunch of extra parts to make the blue parts the regular LEGO blue instead of dark blue, would just look a lot better to me personally.

[@michyoungie]

it would bump it up to being closer to the G1 Sunbow Cartoon than the dark blue which is derived from the G1 toy (plus change the silver drum laquered 1x2 cheese slopes to blue to make it more accurate, as both the toy and cartoon didn't have it). only thing that is a problem is the printed forehead piece, which I think a custom sticker can substitute for the detail.

Crazy thing is I remember getting the Kreo Megatron when they were making them 10 years ago, always been more of a Lego fan and just got the set anyways. But deep down I kinda wished Lego would transformers sets since I was a kid. I obviously didn’t think that would happen because Kreo had the license for what seemed like forever. Let’s just say I was at disbelief when I heard about this. But what I can say now is that I was a kid then having to wait to get these sets with my dad now I’m much older with money I’ve worked to earn, might just buy this to fulfill that sort of childhood wish.

[@christopherwilliams5808]

No way they do Megatron. If they do they won't have him transform into a gun Because Lego is lame and won't do guns in that regard.
