I've been wanting to built this Starfighter for many many years!
RECAP!
LEGO Creator 31161: Medieval Dragon was a new set from year 2025 and so far I have produced two Transformers using this set (most recent one below)
Once in a while, I will built Transformers that turned into vehicles from Pop Culture /sci-fi genre, and Star Wars is probably my favorite franchise to sink my teeth into, because some of their vehicles are pretty cool. Below is one of the Star Wars Star Destroyer Transformer I made last year (2024)
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
The alternate mode for this project is a Mandalorian Starfighter. I was made known of this vehicle from a LEGO set , which back then I hoped to buy because of the seemingly good number of parts inside . I ended up not buying the set, though
And from that point onwards.. I was thinking of building a Transformer based on this starfighter , not using any particular official LEGO set.
While googling for photos of this Starfighter, only I discovered that its actual name is Mandalorian Gauntlet Starfighter.....
Phew.... I'm very glad the LEGO set used for this creation has a few different shades of green, and one of them looks brighter (lime color) and perfect to be used as windshield!
COCKPIT ROTATES!
Staying true to the actual vehicle its based on, the cockpit can rotate 360 degrees! However, most photos online only showed the rotation to be just 90 degrees to either side.
PARKED MODE
At this point of preparing this blog entry... I suddenly was hit with an epithany of building a Beast Wars character with such a huge wingspan.
CANNON MOUNTED
TRANSFORM!
Oh no no no....he's not twerking..
ROBOT MODE
Landing gears turned heels can be extended further to stabilize the robot mode further.
WITH GUN
