All 4 chunky parts successfully utilized!
Before you proceed, you might be interested to see my recent LEGO Creator/Bumblebee alternate builds, mostly transformers (link below)
PROLOGUE
When I got hold of LEGO Creator 31381: Fierce Shark early this year, I immediately get to work and started to build a transformer jet plane using it (video tutorial below), after discovering that it has the big chunky wedge pieces that could be used as jet nosecone.
And few months later.... I made Dinobot Swoop too using the same set (below)
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Both of the creations above only make use of 2 chunky wedge pieces , out of the 4 available from the set. So I'd thought .... how can I utilize all 4 pieces. Well...... the revelation came not longer after. And here we all.... a speedboat Transformer!
He's heavily armedwith 2 sets of missile racks.
With gun attached
TRANSFORM
Rotating the head to face the front involves masterful wiggling between 2 panels next to it.
Initially the hull legs are tabbed to the rest of the body via one stud on each leg, but I decided undo this design, and let them rest underneath the boat with connections..
ROBOT MODE
Due to transformation requirements, his shoulders are somewhat less articulated that most of my other Transformers creations.
MORE ACTION POSES
VIDEO TUTORIAL
Head and gun will not be included in the video tutorial below. However, they're pretty easy to build simply by looking at the photos long enough. Alternatively, I hope you can support my creations by purchasing a copy of the complete building instructions . Thank you!
