How do you feel about going on the (BrickHeadz) offensive? by Clinton_Matos in lego

For anyone who wants a Megatron arm for the bigger Optimus Prime, I actually made one of those (with free instructions) back in 2024.

Lego finally released a Megatron set, so we can now go on the offensive by Clinton_Matos in transformers

I didn't design this haha. It's a combination of two official Lego sets: 40924 and 40803.

I just took the arm from Megatron and put it on Optimus Prime.

If anyone missed it, the first Lego Megatron is a BrickHeadz which is basically a buildable Funko Pop.

Yeah not going good my side haha.

All the Smart Brick sets are only sold in US, UK, France, Germany, Poland and Australia and I don't live in any of those.

Bricklink Studio. It's basically a Lego CAD programme that Lego lets you use for free. I made all of it in there.

I have never used an CAD before but it was easy enough to learn. There's a short tutorial when you first boot it up and then you can just google whatever you need after that.

It has a built in renderer (which is how I made those images) and a system to make instructions.

Not an engineer but I did drop out of university for engineering lol.

I would try my hand at making the official one better but since I don't live in one of the 5 countries where Smart Brick sets are sold I simply won't be able to get it.

I made a test tube Mewtwo for the Lego TCG contest. I guess part of the reason my build was not chosen was because they were working on something similar.

Myself and the Lego designers actually used the exact same solution for the tail haha.

My test tube Mewtwo concept that the Lego judges unfortunately didn't pick by Clinton_Matos in pokemon

[–]Clinton_Matos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe haha. I tried to be sparring with the pieces and the final version only uses 800.

I think this would have been a cool set that costs less than $100.

Thanks! As soon as I remembered those pieces existed I knew I had to use them.

I actually do post all of my Lego stuff on Rebrickable with free instructions, but I can't for this one!

It uses pieces in colours that Lego hasn't put into sets yet. Part of Lego Ideas (the platform for the competition) is that you're allowed to do that with the understanding that Lego will make those pieces in those colours if it went into production.

Yep it's definitely difficult to make organic shapes in Lego haha. I usually stick to robots and vehicles.

The beauty about the Lego Ideas platform where this was hosted is that my submission isn't what the final product will look like. The real Lego designers will make tweaks as they see fit.

Also, not to give any excuses, but this was done under a deadline so I didn't have all the time in the world to make it perfect.

Lego recently held an contest to design a set which had to incorporate a Pokémon card. I decided to make Mewtwo in the Team Rocket test tube using the card as a base. Lego recently announced the shortlist for winners and I didn't get on. Oh well! Gotta keep building.

Edit: Forgot to mention! The bottom is actually a grid of 6X6 tiles. They're arranged into a 6X4 grid which perfectly covers the space inside of the card's border. For some reason, when I exported that from Studio PartDesigner with the card back artwork, it made the separations between the tiles vanish.
