That's wicked cool, but I it would be nice to hear the transformers sound when it's transforming.

That is pretty damn cool. You're right...no sound in the video made it a little strange to watch.

There's that transforming sound. Also, great choice of background music in the video.

Who cares about Transforming sound FX. We're seeing fiction coming to life. Granted that it's small, but it's lot better than ones in Monster Truck rally.

Not unless you want the price to triple given that sound is actually under copyright. Go [bleeping] figure.

@topic:
Yeah, as cool as this is and as much as I'd like to own one, I've a feeling the novelty would wear off after 102,404 transformations, most of those showing everyone what it does.
Razz

I wonder what something like this would go for.

I can hear some Lego geeks working on their version as we speak. See! Someone just dropped their tray of parts.

He's passed out on the floor. His senses just couldn't take it.

By the way, grab a mop. He's drooling big time.

The robot looks better than the transformation was during the 1980's version of the actual cartoon itself. I don't know how many fingers he has lost or cuts he has suffered to his hands and fingers making those but the next step is giant sized GUNDAMS!

Very few Gundams transform. There's like no appeal to making one of those.

And suddenly I practically fell out of my seat. I always knew that Japan knew the secret behind transforming robots. This is so awesome.

Pretty sweet! Not quite the same as in the movies, but it still sported some nice fighting moves. Smile
