I have a confession...
This is LEGO 10338 Alternate Build, transforming the Bumblebee set into Akira Bike, a very popular pop culture vehicle from Akira anime movie from the 1980s.
CONFESSION!
I'm neither a fan of bikes (realstic or fictional) nor a casual fan of animes. And this project here using LEGO set 10338: Bumblebee is purely and opportunistic one! So there!
And prior to this project, I made the following Transformer using LEGO set 10338 (below)
ABOUT PROJECT KANEDA'S BIKE
Akira is an anime/film from the year 1988 with very deep storyline about the dystopian future. I remembered watching it just once as a child from rented video cassette.
Years later... I discovered that when this film was mentioned by netizens, it's memorable bike /chase scene came into the picture. The bike was used by one of the protagonist, Kaneda in the epic scenes.
I've made many Transformers using LEGO 10338, and before I build even more... I've decided to built Kaneda's bike as a form of "relaxation" , for the lack of better words!
At the beginning of this project, me preferring symmetry initially assumed the bike is symmetrical as well. After a few days of building, I was kinda shocked to discover the other side of the like looks ..... different!
TIME TO RIDE
That's Blurr, one of the fastest G1 Transformers in both robot and vehicle mode
