LEGO Killbison from Breastforce team Part 1 of 2: Tank mode


Killbison is a member of Breastforce, a combiner team from Transformers: Victory Series. 



Introduction

In my quest to fulfil last year's vow of building a Transformers combiner , Killbison is actually the  last MOC I started work on (from the team of 6 breastforce members). This is because I have difficulty finding the needed brown parts , 

Just like his original toy, Killbison transforms into a Gepard Tank (below) with 2 turrets. But the original toy has 4 tank treads instead of  2  like in many typical real world tanks. I choose to follow the latter.



Trivia

  • Initially this MOC was suposed to be a "remold" of  Drillhorn  I started much earlier, but Drillhorn's drill tank mode is chunky looking. I decided to build Killbison from scratch using a new transformation method.
  • When I started building this guy about 2 months ago, I used many black parts as a placeholder.
  • In the quest to procure more brown parts quickly (this means not from ordering online), My routine scout in a mall yielded me this Mixel. This set has 4x c-clips I needed  to complete this MOC. What a stroke of luck!


  • Some sacrifices were made for the robot mode aesthetics to ensure Killbison form a sturdy looking combiner leg.


Bisonbreast

Bisonbreast is a minion of Killbison and becomes his weapon in robot mode . However, I decided to integrate this beast as weapon in tank mode mode , too!




He was not meant to be bipedal, ah well!










The "ugly" looking protrusion at the front of the tank is the combiner port as he will form  Liokaiser's leg.



I think my Pareidolia is kicking in. I "accidentally" put a cat's face on the back of the tank.

Transform!





In order not to reveal the robot mode in its full glory, I think I'll stop here . =) 

Get the ready for my next entry Step 2: Robot mode this weekend !
