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.


During the past 2 years , I had tactfully chosen Marvel Mech sets with  more potential for such purpose. And Captain America Mech armor set here was not in my to-buy list. This is because of the presence of big shield from this set...  leading to lesser  potentially small and useful parts. 

Anyway, I finally purchased the set after one of my youtube viewers requested a TF from it. Consider this a fan service I guess!


Millennium Falcon is THE space ship  of Han Solo, one of  main characters in the original Star Wars movie franchise.


I actually struggled for many days thinking of an alternate mode for this Transformer. (snail, turtle crossed my mind )


Notice the rounded side, mimicking a hatch of sorts found in the actual Millennium Falcon. 






Due to the freely rotating shield connection capping this creation, I didn't bother to align the star motive to be symmetrical to the ship. This lack of symmetry  is very apparent when viewed directly from above. 



TRANSFORM!





ROBOT MODE


Initially the head would've been 1 stud wide, but I've decided to make it bigger to allow for stronger connection to the body.
