Nanoblock Bumblebee Transformers G1

Continuing with the transformers figures Bumble has joined our transformers squad using the parts of the Nanoblock NYC Taxi. Regretfully I only made a GIF of version one.

The following pics are from my ver. 2 alt mode.

My nanoblock Transformers squad until now:

I have to say that my VF-1J with the 1S head makes for a passable Jetfire.

Nanoblock Sideswipe

I decided to continue with the transformer lines, Sideswipe was one of my favorite transformers, even when I never had one when I was a kid. The countach mus be one of the best looking cars of its time.

Originally I had a version 1 that had to be reworked in order to look more like a Lamborghini, but it was the one that help me define the transformation mechanisms.

Originally I used the pieces of the Nanoblock british bus in order to complete this model plus some 3rd party blocks.

Scale with good old optimus

Nanoblock G1 Optmus Prime

Taking a break from Macross, I did another trip down memory lane and got me some nanoblocks with wheels to use them for this project, the G1 nano Optimus prime.

While building I did not expected that the proportions where so similar to the G1 toy.

Transformation: Optimus roll out!!!
