Nerdlyus Truck
I know Tommy isn't much of a Transformers nerd but I am. So here I present Nerdlyus Prime. My entry for Bricknerd's Next Level Nerdly Competition.
When I read about the contest the words “insane transforming capability” jumped at me and I knew what I would do. Neardly is mostly a red box with glas windows in front. Not so far from a red flat nose truck.
I didn't do any detailed plan on paper this time. I just started from the original nerdly instruction and modified it as I thought necessary. I mean, how hard could it be to make a G1 Optimus? :)
Fore those interested I can tell that Nerdlyus Prime differs somewhat from G1 Optimus Prime.
Fist of all the head was made to lock nerdy. You be the judge on how it turned out.
An early problem was that Nerdly's glasses stick out so mush so I made a different shoulder transformation (180° instead of 90°) and it worked because I didn't use any smokestacks.
I left the front wheels at the arms. I think I have seen that solution before but I have also seen fan art with the wheels on the arms.
Like my Optimus the fuel tanks become the upper legs. The legs also rotates individually rather than the whole hip (but the original didn't rotate at all). This also separate the legs a little. (I use a similar trick on my Optimus)
