The chest part were the most difficult part.

Well, the structure don’t really support transformation….

@stephendsdude: Good catch, though I got it right in the post title.

@enigma: Interesting read. I’m always happy when it’s not the writers’ fault. ;-)

While I’ve only seen shots of these characters online, these are great builds. Definitely capture the clunky, multi-faceted look of the film transformers.

As for the characters themselves, from everything I’ve seen and heard (which doesn’t include the film), Chud.com probably said it best when they dubbed these characters “Little Black Sambots.” The writers of the film have very publicly pointed the finger at Bay for those characterizations: http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/orci-and-kurtzman-respond-to-claims-of-racism-in-transformers-2.php

Oh, and it’s Revenge of the Fallen, not Revenge of the Fall.

I LOVE these creations. I also like the movies (to the dismay of others). However, the screenplay of the movies was not thought out thoroughly.

Now only if these could transform…

Nice construction for that size- a lot of detail. Great technique with the chest-slopes.

On the movie, though, just switch off your brain and watch the explosions.

Those are some of the nicest LEGO Transformers I’ve seen. They fit the characters very well!

I’ve seen the first movie and the second in cinemas. And I have to admit, I liked them… Yeah, the story is… Well, there isn’t a story. But the action on big screen was so intense, just don’t think for a couple of hours and enjoy. But it’s the only non-brain movies I watched. (:

Great MOCs from an ungreat movie. Lots of tiny detail packed in here.

Can’t say I was a fan of the first film, so odds are I won’t bother with the second.

However, those are great builds. They seem to have captured the complexity of the movie designs, but are still simple enough to follow. Got to say I like them, though Skids a little more as I prefer the Green to the Orange.

Top notch stuff.

The movie deserves criticism so they will come up with a better one next time. It is bad that poor screenwriting damage a great movie theme.

But this creation from John is truly excellent, I am glad to see a fellow Hong Kong Lego player’s work being highlighted here.

^ So I hear. My movie critique is particularly irrelevant because I haven’t actually seen it (nor do I intend to at this point).

Nice representations of some of the dumbest movie characters ever. From the wannabe black stereotype jokes to the robot nut humor, that movie was pure fail.
