Kre-O X Lego Optimus Prime (Small Scale Version)

During the Christmas break, I redesigned the small scale version Kre-O Optimus Prime. It had been sitting inside the box for years. Recently, I got a new parts from Lego store and it jump-started my new design. It looked like engine exhaust pipe which was the best fit for this long lost project. Usually, Optimus Prime was drawn with a heavy blue legs in 90% of designs. What about a streamline one? Let's try it.

*Please don't ask if I have instruction of this. I started with drawings on paper and then I built it right a way.

It was actually like this back in the old days... See old post here!


I grew up with Japanese robot cartoons like Gundam. Although the Gundam design changed since Z Gundam which had big legs and heavy backpacks. Gundam RX-78-2 was still my Number 1 Gundam. One day I saw "G40 Gundam" in Facebook. Many people said it was ugly but I thought it wasn't a bad idea to redesign something classic.

I redesigned the legs like knight's armor with exhaust pipes




Here is the scale with the large scale version. You can see the old post from here!




The joints movement of the new version was even better than the large scale version!

Little Lego Tricks + Reminder 1

Sometimes, you may want to build something on the surface of a Lego wall. The first idea should be using one or two side-stud bricks to build. There are a few side-stud bricks offered from Lego. If you use two of the grey ones above, you may need to add two plates (1/3 height each) in between to fit into the side stuff (that you want to build on the side). If just putting one on top, they won't fit in (See below)



If you use another type (Black one below), problem will be solved.



But... If you have something to build right behind the wall, this method won't work because of the height of each regular brick is longer than one stud's surface.

Have a fun build!



Recently, Google AdSense disabled my account because of the unusual high traffic of this blog. They thought I bought blog traffic from somewhere. It was super ridicules. The posts about Knock Off Minifigures had a lot of traffic from different places. Blogspot and AdSense were both from Google. I had no idea why AdSense didn't look at the traffic source which wasn't from one single place. Really... WTF.
