Custom LEGO Transformers Brick Label Metalhide MB-01 Review

A few weeks ago, I was sent something very cool to review. As a fan of LEGO as well as Transformers, this was definitely right up my alley. JK and Alanyuppie from Malaysia has created Brick Label, transforming robots that uses 100% genuine LEGO parts. The first set in their Masterbrick series is Metalhide MB-01 which is pretty much G1 Ironhide of the Autobots from the Transformers series. The Masterbrick Series is a play on the TakaraTomy/Hasbro Transformers Masterpiece Series.

Alan has created a number of LEGO Transformers as you can see from his blog. Like with the regular Transformers toys, Metalhide can change from vehicle mode to robot mode. However unlike LEGO Creator sets where you have to take apart pieces to build another build, you do not have to do that with this guy.

LEGO Transformers G1 Optimus Prime Replica by Orion Pax

TRANSFORMERS G1 OPTIMUS PRIME REPLICA

Orion Pax has done it again. He is known for building incredible replicas of many old school things such as the Ghostbusters Headquarters, Masters of the Universe, and Knight Rider’s K.I.T.T. Today, Alex has posted a replica of G1 Optimus Prime. It was built in 2012 but he hasn’t presented it for various reasons, until now. It is fully transformable and uses all LEGO pieces except for the Kre-O head but, in my opinion, it’s ok. It looks amazing in every aspect and looks exactly like the Takara Tomy version. It even has Roller in the trailer! See below for a few more images of Optimus Prime and a video of the transformation process but head over to Alex’s site for a lot more images as well as other Transformers characters he has replicated.
