It’s both incredibly impressive and viscerally depressing how you made a *LEGO* Seeker that transforms better, looks better *AND* poses better than the earthrise seekers
Something I've noticed after watching LEGO transformers channels like this are that the mechanics and techniques you can use are so vitally different. I think that's what makes these things so fascinating.
@@BenBoyee Mostly because of how similar they are to the Classic Seekers mold. Slightly updated, of course, but generally disappointing compared to other current figures.
I think this looks great in both modes, at least on camera. So impressive to me how people are able to create actual lego transformers that aren't oversized.

I'm not really a fan of how a c-clip and a rod thing (forgot what theyre called) is used as a transformation tab meant to be clipped and unclipped, especially since its on the feet area, where the robot mode has to stand on. This is mainly because of a hindered longevity as, at least in my experience, clipping an unclipping a c-clip onto an enclosed rod thing (once again, dont remember the actual name) numerous times doesnt end well for the clip part, and ive had multiple clips snap on me because they were either used in a build that didnt allow them to snap in fully or were simply being unclipped one time too many. I am aware that lego doesnt really make 1x1 ratchet hinge thingies, which is the only pther piece that could fit in that location, but I feel like this could be taken into account for future builds. Also, the reason why I mentioned the ratchet hinge thingy is because the side that has the two circles that go around the centered, beveled circle is actually desighned to be a loose-ish fit for c-clips, and is legal. The connection is stable but can easily be removed without fear of snapping the clip, and has been used in at least one set for this exact purpose (the razor crest uses this connection on the removable part of the windscreen). Anyways the rest of the build looks great, its just the way the toe tabs into the foot that makes me worry about longevity.
You're right, that applies to all clips and bars - all of which fail over time (due to stress fracture) even when not under load. That's why I was astonished that the arm connections, on the official Voltron set, somehow passed the final product review phase. It was the first thing I changed about that spuriously designed monstrosity. I mean, what kind of monster creates a connection that; * Uses multiple clips and bars. * Is designed to be repeatedly connected and disconnected. * Intended as a load bearing structure. * And, is also subject to torsional forces. Absolute degeneracy!
@@liberatumplox625 man the most recent set I got was the 90th anniversary galaxy explorer (havent built the alt builds yet because I like the main build too much) and I really am not a fan of how the rear locks together. But I also dont have the best or most easily accessible parts collection so Idk if I'll get around to fixing it. I think the main reason that drove me away from liking c clips was a moc I did at one point that had the wings at an angle using c clips, but it wasnt perfectly calculated which meant that they sat at a slight angle. I went through like three c clip parts in like a week. I admit the connection was slightly illegal but I didnt expect it to be that ridiculous, but now I do. Dont get me wrong, c clips are great for hinges in lego builds, but they should be left to hinges that don't do much more than maybe opening a door or canopy or just having an angled thing or having a bar attached to a thing, never a locking mechanism meant to be repeatedly clipped and unclipped.
I have a idea in mind for another G1 deception you could make before or after you create Megatron you could try your own take on Blitzwing since he's a triple changer it might be difficult since you have to construct it out of lego
@@tfan2222 Technically storage, yes. But they at least tried to make them look like wings, weapons, and a couple of them had spring-loaded missiles, plus the instructions did call them official "Attack modes".
does this mean well get skywarp, thundercracker, thrust, dirge, ramjet, the rainmakers, sunstorm, sandstorm, nacelle, slipstream, slaughterhouse, wheezing arrow, hotlink, cloudcover, blast, redwing, and blackout?
Can you try making transit since they just released the deleted scene of transit vs Optimus and you’ll also be the first lego TH-camr to make a rise of the beasts transit! I would love to see it because I love your robot designs you use on your transformers!
This such a cool build I love the look of it and I reckon you should do a g1 soundswave with the cassettacons which would be really cool but keep up the good work
When you make your own Megatron and Soundwave, will their alt modes be an oversized gun and boombox? Or will they have common or unique vehicles modes. I know they’re G1, but honestly, their original alt modes kinda suck. So I thought you could take inspiration from other versions, like Animated Megatron and Prime Soundwave. What do you think?
Personally I love Soundwave as a cassette player, so I wouldn't want to change him, and while I have no attachment to Megatron as a gun it would feel like the easy way out/cop out to make him something different, since the gun transformation is such a challenging one to make work.
Megatron is gonna be a nightmare unless you just make him just a big mounted gun or a tank instead of an actual blaster pistol that starscream can use.
I need the instructions to build him. Seriously your work is incredible, kibble or not! Who cares about the robot mode showing in the jet mode? It's legos, the fact it transforms makes such a little thing barely a nitpick!
you have two maximal missing rhinox and airazor and can you plss do a tutorial on your maximals i mean if you only want to but if you don't want to that's fine by me

Man why does everyone hate the Earthrise Seekers? I think they're neat.

@@BenBoyee yeah I got earthrise starscream and honestly I like how he looks. The headsculpt is great
Fun Fact: If Starscream was scaled to match the actual size of his jet mode, he'd be twice as tall as Optimus Prime
HE DID WHAT HASBRO AND TAKARA COULNT, he didnt give hima fake cockpit and HE MADE HIM OUT OF LEGO thats just impressive
I can name several official G1 Starscreams that don't have a fake cockpit, most recent being the Earthrise/Kingdom version.
Still an impressive moc.
@@cybersilver5816I think he means the G1 and G1 remakes, like the older ones
This looks very cool, and despite the amount of robot kibble in his alt mode, I think both the jet and robot mode look sick.
Bro every starscream has that robot kibble
@@YesUhhuh-hb3gbYou said it. Quite literally every star scream be it official or third party. That's how you know it's good.
@@timdoe8895 wait what did I say
@@timdoe8895 oh
I hope actual Hasbro designers watch the videos of Lego Transformers creators. Especially this one, in particular for that entire leg transformation.
“Megatron has fallen, I, Starscream am now your leader” 🛩️
I think this looks great in both modes, at least on camera. So impressive to me how people are able to create actual lego transformers that aren't oversized.
Nice, I would've expected Soundwave, since he's loyal to Megs.
He already made that in a smaller build
@@haleyapplegarth1585 Yes, but a different scale gives more potential.
That transformation to robot mode is SIIIIIIICK! I would love to see that cockpit rotation in a HasTak seeker mold.
Even tho I probably don't have the pieces for him, he looks freaking amazing
always really liked Starscream. a Valkyrie Fighter repurposed into a transformer makes for a wonderful toy. You’ve done such an excellent job here!

Lego engineers on their way to recreate the entire mainline better and out of lego:
Have you forgotten that lego sees knees as a sin against humanity that must be stopped at all costs?

I love the size as well
Good design, nice engineering and perfect balance!
I seriously can't wait for your take on him alongside Strika and Soundwave.
A way to fix the leaning issue for Starscream could be disguising a support stand as nose gear
I have a idea in mind for another G1 deception you could make before or after you create Megatron you could try your own take on Blitzwing since he's a triple changer it might be difficult since you have to construct it out of lego
My only issue is that the slopes for the airscopps in jet mode angle down instead of up. Don't complain about kibble; 90% of G1 was kibble.
Good ol’ G1 coming back
honestly, the wings being kinda loosely attached was always a G1 seeker mold thing
I love how it looks just like him
Starscream is one of my favorite characters, could you make a movie version but large like this one 👍
I am not the biggest fan of transformers but this looks so cool! I do like your videos alot so please continue to make more of them.
Literally the best transformer you have ever made🤚✋
As a 9 year old transformer builder myself, That's impressive
You make really great G1 transformers
Starscream is one of my Favorite decepticons
And how I'm also a Lego fan, I love this idea! He looks so good
Great Job
I absolutely freaking love this design
its funny how this thing is literally better than MP Starscreams
Can’t wait for a two foot G1 Devastator that has all three modes.
Don't you mean four modes? I believe that each vehicle had an attack mode too.

Great, let's see the obligatory recolors now!
This is absolutely amazing. Great job
amazing lego transformers ❤
beast wars intro music but transformers g1 character, though to be honest starscream was in beast wars.
This is crazy good. I'm speechless.
this deserves a sub, here ya go
Impressive love your builds
This is wonderful
God dammit this is literally better than the earthrise Starscream

lego transit
Bro made a Seeker Mold better than how the earthrise can do it
How the hell does this thing have the true cockpit on the chest while the god damn $250 masterpiece needs to use a fake one!
A minute in and this build looks good!
I want to have this power to build any transformer
Please make a bumblebee, I will use red parts instead so that he’s cliffjunper.
Student Scissors pls make a video for this starscream
perfect
0:31 Transformers G1 megatron is easy to build, he just turns into a gun
I completely disagree, his transformation is probably one of the most difficult to figure out of any G1 transformer.
GEEEEEEEEEEEEZE. How do you keep getting better at this?!?!
Jetfire! I always vote Jetfire!
I’d love to see a bumblebee figure that fits in optimus’s trailer
So good
It's so goooood)

i needa thundercracker and skywarp
Man, that transformation for the arms was intense! This is a solid G1 Starscream imho, especially one made out of legos!
I think you should do Ironhide
Pretty cool, but I think theres enough aspects to improve worth a v2 in a while
BRO YOUR THE BEST BUILDER❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
HOW DID U FOLLOW THIS❤❤❤❤❤❤
Soooo cool!
This build is great but contrary to popular belief G1 starscream is supposed to be gray
It looks better than the master piece
Tiny head man
I need the instructions to build him. Seriously your work is incredible, kibble or not! Who cares about the robot mode showing in the jet mode? It's legos, the fact it transforms makes such a little thing barely a nitpick!
Then do the patreon
Amazing build!
Go g1 Grimlock or Swoop please ;)
Why have him do Grimlock or Swoop. When he can build Volcanicus using all the Dinobots
Can you make a Lego 10 member mini transformers combiner?
you have two maximal missing rhinox and airazor and can you plss do a tutorial on your maximals i mean if you only want to but if you don't want to that's fine by me
Day 2 of asking for rotb wheeljack
This looks cool
Stfu this is awesome! ❤😮
Would you making Thundercracker and skywarp
can you do G1 Bumblebee that will be cool
nice job!!!
Goddamn wow
Bro based the chest transformation off of the g1 toy
Yes?
Started a Patreon with instructions? Is the G1 soundwave available? from video #44
