This project was completed more than a year ago, but kept on hold due to a small hiccup...
....I've broken 2 mecha arm parts from set 71707 used in this project (below)! without them, my dinosaur is literally crippled!
After many years of using similar parts of varying colors with no problem in my LEGO projects , the white variant that comes with this set is very fragile. Before they gave way, I noticed the diminished clutch strength, from my earlier projects using the set. (click here to view them).
Anyway, recently I finally ordered new LEGO parts (including the broken ones above) from bricklink in order to complete my pending projects .
Oh yes... my latest project using this set was a Transformer insect, built early last year.

DINOSAUR MODE
Would love to call him a T-rex, but this one here has 2 horns on his head.
No problem raising his tail up despite the huge bulk!
TRANSFORM!
This is probably my most satisfying part of the designing process: getting the dino head to fold and tuck in nicely to the back of the robot mode.
This mid-transformation photo reminded me of a praying mantis.
ROBOT MODE
Note the pelvic joints with the protruding black knob. They hindered the posability a fair bit.
