LEGO Transformer Fortress Maximus version 4

 

Fortress Maximus (Fort Max) is one of the biggest Transformers to ever came out of the original G1 cartoon series aired in the 1980s. And the toy version of Fort Max was the biggest Transformer toy ever produced back then.

LEGO Fortress Maximus aka Fortmax: A retrospective reminiscent

At the beginning of my LEGO adventures in my adulthood in the early 2000's, Fortress Maximus had been my favorite subject, since I'm a fan of G1 Transformers with base mode.

 This is my fifth Transformer built using set 31088: Deep Sea Creatures. What's an Armada tank? Shouldn't it be an armada of tanks?  Waitaminute that's not right either. Battalion of tanks perhaps? Well, read on to clear your confusion...

LEGO Transformer Astrotrain Part 2: Robot mode

Part 2 will show transformation of my LEGO Astrotrain from space shuttle to robot mode.

LEGO Transformer Astrotrain Part 1: Locomotive and Space shuttle mode

 

This project took me more than two years to complete! And a big chunk of those period was spent focusing on some other projects, after a few bouts of builders block where I left this project untouched for many months on end.

This LEGO creation here by far is the fastest sprint I've ever done. What is a sprint? Well...

Video Tutorial: Transformer Microscope from LEGO Marvel set 76141: Thanos Mech armor

From the 3 LEGO Marvel Mech Armors released last year, I overlooked set 76141 above due to budget consideration. Well, it's finally  snagged by me few months ago when it goes at a handsome discount.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Speedster from LEGO Marvel What-if 76194: Tony Stark's Sakaarian Iron Man

I was pretty excited when set 76194 was released many months ago, after discovering it's not just a typical LEGO mech, but it has a second official speedster mode, from the look of it.

Both set 76169 and 31111 were acquired at the beginning of this year, and I've been planning to build a Transformer by combining them ever since.

LEGO Omega Supreme from Transformers Animated

 

Finally, he's completed! I started building this guy more than half a year ago and had been really instrumental about it, thus the delay of getting a closure.

This project was completed more than a year ago, but kept on hold due to a small hiccup...

Video Tutorial: Transformer Metroplex from LEGO Creator 31115: Space Mining Mech

 

This is arguably my favorite alternate creation  from official LEGO sets so far! This is because it ticks all the boxes...!

Video Tutorial: Transformer Razor Crest from LEGO Marvel set 76146 Spider man Mech armor

 

The alternate mode for this project was a last minute decision / U-turn from what's initially meant to be a generic looking space jet.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Bat aka Mindwipe from LEGO Creator 31102: Fire Dragon

 

This marks my 5th Transformer built using LEGO Creator 31102: Fire Dragon, after about 20 months.

This one really escalated very quickly! I started this project about 2 weeks ago and decided to expedite it, ahead of other LEGO TF projects still in progress much earlier . Why?

Video Tutorial: Transformer Triple Changer from LEGO Creator 31114: Superbike

 

This is my second attempt in building a Transformer from LEGO Creator 31114: Superbike. My challenge this time around, is to make use of the huge bike tires in my creation.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Jet Plane from LEGO 31100 and Marvel Mech Armor

 

LEGO set 31100 main model is a sports car.  In my previous projects using this set, I have yet to utilize its windshield. I've decided to change that.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Bulldozer from LEGO Creator 31115: Space Mining Mech

 

This set has  a lot of catching up to do!  Well that's my thought when I started this project. I am planning to focus more on this year's LEGO sets  before the year is coming to an end.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Millennium Falcon from LEGO Marvel set 76168: Captain America Mech armor

 

To be honest, It's really hard to build a decent looking articulated Transformer from just a single LEGO Marvel Mech set.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Falcon from LEGO Ninjago 71718: Wu's Battle Dragon

LEGO set 71718 offered me many claw and sloped parts, so various types of animals can be built with it.

Video Tutorial: LEGO Transformer Star Destroyer (Star Wars) from set 31058 Mighty Dinosaurs

 

This project here is pretty accidental. My initial plan was  a triple changer Transformer from set 31058....

Video Tutorial: Transformer Butterfly from LEGO 31099 and Marvel Mech Armor

 

LEGO Creator set 31099: Propeller Plane was bought around end of last year. Despite the healthy parts count, small round plates took up a large number of those parts.  I was left with minimal useful parts for my LEGO Transformers attempts.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Speedboat from LEGO Creator 31114: Superbike

 

To be frank, I'm not a fan of bikes . But LEGO set 31114: Superbike caught my eyes due to its color scheme. Azure blue is currently my favorite LEGO color so far...

This project actually predates the recent 4 (or 5 )  LEGO Transformer I published.

Help! I'm running out of names for my LEGO Transformers!!!

Set  31115 Space Mining Mech  is probably my most anticipated set for this year(2021).

I once hesitated to use this .LEGO set 40417 to build a Transformer...

Video Tutorial: Transformer Benatar Ship from LEGO Creator set 31112: Wild Lion

 

From all the LEGO Transformers I made with official LEGO sets, this one here is the most  complicated so far.

Video Tutorial: LEGO Transformer Scorpion from Marvel set 76169 Thor mech Armor

 

This is one of the simplest LEGO Transformer I ever built from a single set!

Video Tutorial: Transformer Hovertank from LEGO Creator 31089 and Marvel Mech Armor

 

I remembered having high hopes for  set 31089 by mere looking at its box art last year. And when I finally got hold of the set, I discovered the parts were really really good but...

This project was made possible from an eureka moment (again!).

Video Tutorial: Transformer Speedboat aka Bumblesea v4 from LEGO 31090: Underwater robot

BumbleSea v4  is  my fourth LEGO Transformer built using LEGO Creator 31090. Somewhat related to BumbleBee, he prefer to roam the ocean rather than the ground above.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Tankmech from LEGO 76146: Spider-man mech

 

Well uhmm... this creation here is not a Transformer (sentient robot in disguise) per-se, but a transforming mech suit for Spidey.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Buffalo from LEGO set 31073: Mythical Creatures

 

This project was spawned from my earlier project failure actually. Which one?

Video Tutorial: Transformer Thundertank from LEGO set 70842: Emmet's Couch Mech

 

This was the final project  I initiated in year 2020 ,during Christmas Eve. Even though progress was pretty quick, I was forced to put it on hold...

Video Tutorial: Transformer White Lion from LEGO Ninjago 71718: Wu's Battle Dragon

 

This project was started about 2 months ago (end of January 2021) out of boredom, using set 71718.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Dinosaur from LEGO Creator set 31058: Mighty Dinosaur

 

Yes. Stop rubbing your eyes. You're not reading wrongly. Dino Might is the name I given to this alternate creation of set 31058.

LEGO Transformer Depth Charge from Beast Wars Cartoon series

The dry spell is broken!!!  After suffering from builders block for more than half a year, I finally managed to get my groove back!

Video Tutorial: LEGO Transformer Lion from Creator set 31112: Wild Lion

 

This was the first 2021 set that got me all excited when it was revealed last year, and the reason is pretty obvious...

Video Tutorial: LEGO Transformer Jet Triple Changer from Creator set 31102: Fire Dragon

 

This is my third attempt in building a Transformer from LEGO Set 31102; Fire Dragon. I must say, my earlier attempts were pretty well-received...

Video Tutorial: Transformer Dronebot version 2 from LEGO Creator set 31111: Cyber Drone

 

Dronebot version 2 was initiated just a day after I completed version  1 about few weeks ago.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Thor Tank from LEGO Avengers 76169: Thor Mech Armor

To start off the year 2021, I aimed to buy only one of the 3 options for LEGO Avengers mech suit sets. Thor was immediately chosen. Why?

Video Tutorial: Transformer Spiderplane from LEGO set 31099 and 76146 (Creator plane and Spider man mech)

 

This creation was completed last year (2020) and had the honor of taking me a very long time to get right.

Video Tutorial: Transformer Dronebot from LEGO Creator set 31111: Cyber Drone

 

When I first set my eyes on this set, I planned to pair it up with this year's (2021) Marvel Mech sets and build a Transformer.
