Transformer MOC- Duster

Before the war, Duster was but a simple geographer on Cybertron. Now she serves in aerial reconnaissance missions for the Autobots on Earth. Despite her generally noncombative disposition, she’s somehow managed to find a nemesis in Maelstrom.

Robot mode, styled heavily after M1NDxBEND3R’s Ramshackle moc. Among the best-proportioned of my Transformer designs. I’m especially pleased with Duster’s color scheme. A fun little detail is that the outer struts of the wongs can unclip and become pistols.

Duster’s alt-mode, a grey-and-green biplane. Originally my plane was to make her a WWII era fighter plane, but I’ve been reading through IDW’s Lost Light comic and Anode is one of my favorite characters, so one thing led to another and… well, here we are. Plus, biplanes are just darn cool.

Transformee MOC- Clutch

Clutch is a born acrobat and as such took the most maneuverable alt-mode he could find. He often serves as one of the Autobot’s advance scouts.

Robot mode, inspired by the Bayverse Arcee sisters. Clutch sports a double-barreled cannon on his right arm.

Vehicle mode. A motorbike modded for off-road travel.

Transformer MOC: Speedtrap

The only reason Speedtrap’s alt-mode is a cop car is for irony. In reality, Speedtrap is willing to bend, break, and utterly disregard any law thrown his way. Just for the challenge of it. Thank Primus he’s an Autobot- at least that way, Cudgel is around to keep him in check.

Robot mode. A bit clunky, especially around the shoulders and kibble, but otherwise pretty good.

Vehicle mode- some sort of police cruiser.

Transformer MOC: High Gear

People who know High Gear often claim he’s been in motion since the moment he was given a spark. And honestly? That’s probably not far from the truth.

Robot mode. Originally, this was going to be a Mirage MOC, but the way the robot mode turned out it just didn’t feel right. So behold: a new character. Arms and legs can’t extend outwards very far, but other than that poseability is pretty good and the footing is far more stable than my previous transformer MOCS.

Vehicle mode (remind you of anyone?) is roughly minifigure scale. I’ll eventually work on streamlining the colors, but for now I really like how the shape looks.

Comin’ atcha!

Transformer MOC: Chamber

Chamber is a Decepticon warrior with a Really Big Gun for an arm. As Maelstrom’s duly appointed demolitions and explosives specialist, Chamber is the go-to ‘Con when it comes to traps and fireworks displays.

Robot mode is oddly proportioned and extremely top-heavy.

Tank mode. All limbs fold nicely into one main assembly, though if I ever revise the design I’ll try to smooth out everything and add more recognizable details.

Transformer MOC: Optimus Prime, v.2

An improvement over my original design, I think. Both robot and vehicle modes are much cleaner-looking, though the proportions of both have changed.

Robot mode has much stronger joints and connections now. The colors are better as well. Additionally, the head is far more accurate. My biggest issues are the waist and shoulders, which are on loose hinges.

Vehicle mode looks a lot nicer. There is a large gap in the cab now, but overall everything is much cleaner than the first version. Unfortunately, the wheels still experience too much friction to roll properly.

Roll out!

Transformer MOC- Cudgel

Cudgel is an autobot warrior who loves his job. Why be subtle when you could…. not? Unlike Heavy Weapon, however, Cudgel isn’t concerned with efficiency. He just loves fighting.

Cudgel’s alt-mode is a heavily modified monster truck.

Super proud of how Cudgel’s robot mode turned out. The back wheels detach from vehicle mode and become his hammer.

Stop! Hammer time.

Transformer MOC- Ripper

The best-looking alt-mode (in my opinion) and least poseable (cold, hard fact) of my transformer mocs. Ripper transforms into a muscle car based off the Batmobile from The Batman. The Decepticon warrior is… actually a pretty chill dude, as it turns out.

Kinda wonky looking from behind, actually.

Front and back of the seven-stud-wide alt-mode.

Transformer MOC- Shuffle

Shuffle is an Autobot in name and a gardener in trade. He enjoys the quiet life and worked as a medic during the war.

Shuffle’s vehicle mode is a small excavator which can seat one minifigure. It’s rather front-heavy due to the arm, but there’s a bit just in front of the main body that can fold down and stabilize the build.

Shuffle’s robot mode. I gave him a dish on his head to resemble a hard hat, which I really like. The transformation is a bit more complicated than my usual stuff, but all the moving pieces were a lot of fun to design.

Size comparison with Sidewinder and Heavy Weapon.

“Be not afraid, human!”

Remember those colors I mentioned earlier? Well, here they are!

Not exactly the same as previously advertised (courtesy of a limited piece selection) but still pretty good imo

Transformer MOC- Tundra

Tundra is a Cybertronian living in the Arctic Circle with a group of human scientists. Unaffiliated with either Autobot or Decepticon, Tundra devotes her time to research and exploration of her new home.

Vehicle mode- a beaten-up snowmobile

Robot mode- a quadrupedal form resembling an elk, one of the first creatures Tundra encountered upon her arrival to Earth.

The snowmobile ski slides over her sensors as an armored faceplate/weapon when combat becomes necessary.

Ideal color scheme (vaguely Ice Planet-esque)

Onward!

Transformer MOC: Sidewinder

A motorcycle/tripedal weird little dude! Sidewinder is a thrill-seeker, adventurer, and wannabe cool guy (he’s doing his best, really).

A reasonably minifig-scale altmode

Hang loose! (or whatever the kids these days are saying)

Transformer MOC: Maelstrom

Maelstrom is a Decepticon warrior cursed with a hulking, unseemly robotic form. As the leader of a particularly… frustrating squad of Decepticons, Maelstrom often takes out his irritation any Autobots dumb enough to wander into his path.

Jet mode, top and back. It’s rough, especially around the engines, but I like how it looks so far, especially the silhouette from above. I’ll work on improving the design eventually.

The side and back of the robot form. This part of the design was interesting, since I originally planned for it to be a normal humanoid shape. I had several different leg ideas, including a six-legged version, before ultimately settling on the gorilla-like form here.

Hut-hut-hike!

Space Marine/Power Armor MOC

I don’t actually know anything about Warhammer but the armor design is pretty cool so here it is, I guess. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

The side and back. The arms and legs have been through five different versions to get to where they are now. (As for the back of the right leg, I just couldn’t find a matching blue slope)

Mobility isn’t bad, the shoulders are only able to move back and forth but all other joints have decent range of motion.

In the immortal words of Tom Lehrer, “Send the marines!”

Batman MOC- The Batmobile (2022 version)

This is hands-down my favorite version of Bruce Wayne’s iconic ride.

Very happy with how the silhouette turned out- though if I had to redesign it, I’d make it eight studs wide.

The engine- not as wild as in the film or official set, but I’m happy with how it turned out regardless.

The interior. Fits one batperson.

Transformer MOC: Optimus Prime

Based on his design from G1 and Rise of the Beasts/Bumblebee, this is easily the messiest and most complicated legoformer I’ve made. It’s also the most humanoid-looking and the best proportioned, which is nice.

Vehicle mode is… alright. For now I’m considering this the prototype, and I’ll most likely revise the design at a later date.

Robot mode is a lot of fun. There are a lot more moving parts than usual, and the joints are more flimsy than I’d like, but overall appearance and poseability are actually pretty good. The only thing I don’t like is the head- but for now anything larger or more complex won’t fold away properly.
