In the wake of the Transformers movie (and games), we see quite a few lego iterations of the robots. Adrian Drake’s Blackout is certainly one of the better. It looks great in both helicopter mode and bot mode:

Be sure to check out Peter’s Web site for lots more, including higher-resolution versions of these and other great videos.

I suspect this will put to rest any debate that the rendered images we’ve seen of Indy so far weren’t “real”:
