Transformer MOC- Metroplex

Traditionally, the gentle giant Metroplex transforms into a city and serves as the Autobots' mobile base. My design downsizes him considerably, with his alt-mode now being a small apartment building.

While there's no space inside for minifigures, Metroplex's alt-mode is minifigure scale along with the rest of my Transformer MOCs. His apartment mode is complete with a flowerbed, courtyard, and ivy creeping up the walls.

Metroplex heeds the call of the last Prime! And won't fall apart under his own weight, which is the main reason he's not bigger. He still towers over every other Transformer I've made. His robot mode features full articulation, plus rockets and blasters that are hidden in alt-mode.

Transformer MOC- Pallor

He looks familiar... maybe I read about him in a book.

Transformers MOC- Lockdown

Lockdown is a Cybertronian bounty hunter. Though he's technically unaffiliated, he frequently works with the Decepticons to take out Autobot targets, claiming their bodies as spare parts. With all the augmentation he's done, who knows how much of the original Lockdown is even left?

My version of Lockdown is proportioned differently than his Animated design, but he retains his color scheme, hook hand, and numerous spikes.

Lockdown's alt-mode is a modified, post-apocalyptian muscle car, complete with spikes and a large engine block raised out of his hood. The engine/hood section becomes his hook in robot mode.

Transformers MOC - The Dinobots

My take on the rest of the G1 Dinobots to go with my Grimlock MOC.

Slag, the Triceratops. His tail turns into a whip weapon.

Sludge, the Brontosaurus. His tail becomes a large sword/club.

Snarl, the Stegosaurus. His middle section of spikes becomes a blaster.

Swoop, the Pteranodon. His tail becomes a mace.

Transformer MOC - Grimlock

My take on the Dinobot leader. Still a T-Rex, still yellow, still big and stupid.

Me Grimlock stand like scientifically accurate T-Rex!

Supernatural MOC- The Impala

My custom design of Dean's 1967 Impala from Supernatural, complete with both Winchesters and an assortment of weapons for them to use while monster-hunting. The car can sit both minifigs comfortably and has storage space both in the trunk and the backseat.

The Impala features opening doors and hood and a fully functional trunk capable of storing weapons or other important objects.

Carry on, wayward sons.

Transformers MOC - Starscream v.2

Megatron's air commander with a loyalty issue and a penchant for spending most of his time screeching at the top of his lungs. Who needs a chiropractor when Starscream is around to stab you in the back?

Starscream's designed is extremely similar to both my Skywarp and Thundercracker builds. The main difference is how the wings are structured for transformation to vehicle mode. It's now canon that for my version of the Seekers, their rank is denoted by their wing size, by the way.

Starscream's alt-mode is based on an F-22 Raptor, an alt-mode he shares with his Bayverse incarnation.

Transformers MOC - Skywarp v.2

If not for Starscream's orders, Skywarp would be using his unique teleporting ability to mess his fellow Decepticons rather than fighting on the battlefield. When he arrived on Earth, he took a stealth bomber vehicle mode. After all, the best pranks are the ones you don't see coming.

Skywarp's transformation is a modification of my Thundercracker design, resulting in a lankier and more well-proportioned robot mode. Affixed to the back of his forearms are the standard Seeker null rays.

Skywarp's alt-mode is based on a modern stealth bomber. It scales with Thundercracker and features fold-out landing gear.

Transformers MOC- Longarm

Wait, hang on-

Transformers MOC- Shockwave

Transformers MOC- Thundercracker v.2

Well, well, if it isn't my favorite Decepticon. When he isn't fighting Autobots or writing screenplays, Thundercracker likes to think he's the king of the skies, and proves it by creating sonic booms as loudly and as frequently as possible.

Despite the size of his jet mode, Thundercracker is a compact robot- far shorter than most of my other Transformer MOCs. His proportions remind me a bit of his War for Cybertron design. His articulation is actually pretty good, with the exception that his shoulders can't be angled backwards.

Thundercracker's alt-mode is a fighter jet somewhat based on an F-15 Eagle. It features landing gear that can fold away for flight and scales slightly smaller than minifigure scale.

Transformers MOC- Menasor (1/2)

Menasor would be the Decepticons' ultimate weapon, if he weren't completely deranged. He is formed from the constantly squabbling psyches of Breakdown, Wildrider, Dead End, Drag Strip, and Motormaster.

True to his name, Breakdown is the most paranoid of the Stunticons. He transforms into a red, white, and blue sports car that's less of a Lambo and more of a Firebird. In combined mode, he can become Menasor's right leg.

Wildrider is crazy. He'll challenge you to a drag race. He'll punch you in the nose. You got a car? He'll total it. You ARE a car? Primus help you. He shares Breakdown's design and transforms into a black and red sports car. In combined mode, he can become Menasor's left leg.

Dead End is the Stunticon with depression. Nothing matters. Transforming into a red sports car with a yellow stripe that's a remodel of my Rush MOC? Pointless. Becoming the right arm of Menasor? Why even bother.

Drag Strip is the physical manifestation of the term "sore winner." Also "insufferable prick." He transforms into a yellow six-wheeled racecar, because he's better than you. He can also become the left arm of Menasor.

Transformers MOC- Menasor (2/2)

Motormaster is the leader of the Stunticons and would-be king of the road. He's a tyrant, plain and simple. His lifelong mission is to eliminate Optimus Prime, probably because Motormaster takes a significant amount of design cues from my OP MOC. Motormaster becomes the torso of Menasor, and Menasor's hands can clip onto the bed of his truck mode or the back of his robot mode.

And finally, the fully combined forms of all five Stunticons- Menasor. Menasor is probably the most poseable of my Combiners, though having Breakdown and Wildrider form the feet instead of connecting to a dedicated foot part may cause a stability issue. But aside from that and his general lankiness, Menasor looks pretty good.

Transformer MOC- Ironhide

Ironhide is the Autobots' weapons specialist and resident Tough Guy. Don't let the ever-present arm cannons fool you, though, underneath his gruff exterior he's just a big softie.

Ironhide's robot mode is decently faithful to his G1 appearance. There's room for improvement in his legs, as they're a bit too skinny for his proportions, but overall I'm happy with how it turned out. Like his Bayverse counterpart, he wields two guns that mount on his forearms. I like the look of them as they are, but in future iterations I want to make them a more prominent part of his silhouette.

Ironhide transforms into a red and yellow brick with wheels van. His cannons are actually able to hide away in a hollow space underneath his vehicle mode.

Transformer MOC- Megatron

You know him, you hate him. On account of, y'know, the war crimes and such. My version of the Decepticon leader is based primarily on his Earthspark appearance, transforming into a futuristic aircraft.

Robot mode is... yeah, I guess that's Megatron. Good poseability, stronger joints than my usual designs for stability on account of him being larger, color scheme and fusion cannon present and accounted for. Proportions and overall silhouette, however, are not as reminiscent of classic Megatron as I'd like them to be, and I plan to work on that in future iterations of this design.

Alt-mode is based on the tiltrotor aircraft that Megatron turns into in the Earthspark cartoon. The engines mounted under the wings detach and combine to form Megatron's iconic cannon.

Transformers MOC- Targetmasters

Various Targetmaster MOCs in scale with the rest of my Lego Transformers.

Transformer MOC- Arcee

Arcee holds the time-honored distinction of being The Girl One, but don't let her overall pinkness fool you. She also possesses the ability to kick your tailpipe. Sometimes she's blue. Sometimes she's more than a little crazy. Slay, queen.

I'm very happy with how her robot mode turned out. I was able to incorporate the shoulder wing things she usually has, and the design of her legs will make her much more stable than many of my past Transformer MOCs. She's on the smaller side of my MOCS, about a similar height to Sideswipe, but her vehicle mode still scales nicely with the likes of my Jazz and Optimus designs.

Speaking of vehicle mode, Arcee transforms into a muscle car that (I hope) is reminiscent of an old Ford Mustang. It's obviously not a perfect representation, but I think the front fender and overall shape get the point across.

Transformer MOC- Sideswipe

The jock of the Autobots. My version of Sideswipe is an amalgamation of his G1 and Bayverse designs, at least in robot mode.

The most important part of this MOC for me during the design process was giving him his wheel feet from the Bayverse design. I think it worked out pretty well. I also gave him a pair of collapsible swords, which were much more of an afterthought that I developed out of need for a roof on his alt-mode.

His alt-mode is... well, some kind of wacky looking sports car. As stated, his swords fold and connect to become the roof.

"Damn, I'm good."
