Video Tutorial: Transformer Insecticon Shrapnel using LEGO Creator 31166: Beautiful Horse

  

Imma turning this Beautiful Horse into Beautiful horde.

Happy New Year 2026!

As stated, year 2026 is Year of the Horse in Chinese Calendar. And LEGO is generous enough to release a Horse set a year early, set 31166.  So I bought the set a couple of months ago, and just last month I decided to do my thing aka this project here.



ABOUT PROJECT SHRAPNEL

This project paid homage to an official G1 Transformer named Shrapnel  from team Insecticons. He turned into a mechanical Stag beetle. Shrapnel, apparently... is my favorite member of all the 3 G1 Insecticons  as well. (below):




I remembered building Shrapnel (his insect mode actually)  with the first LEGO I ever owned (set 6656 tow truck!) as a child.







 

TRANSFORM!






 

ROBOT MODE


 



 




WITH GUN AND TUCKED IN STINGERS(MANDIBLES?)




 



VIDEO TUTORIAL

The following video contains tutorial / instructions for this creation except the robot head and gun.  They're pretty easy to build if you stare at the  photos here long enough. 


Alternatively,... I have provided complete building instructions in the form of PDF documents format that you can purchase via link below. Hope you can support my works by purchasing a copy!
