Two transformers caught fire at Hydro One's Richview Transformer Station just north of Toronto. Over 80 firefighters were called to the scene to fight the huge blaze which was fuelled by mineral oil used to cool the transformers. I was there taking photos for two hours while it burned like this sending huge amounts of black smoke into the sky. I talked with one of the cops there and he told me all the buildings in the area were being evacuated because of the thick smoke. It was definitely the largest fire I have ever seen and pretty cool to take pics of. Thankfully no one was reported hurt or killed.

This is my review of the Transformer Autobot Inferno MOC aka Firechief by Alex Jones, build with Webrick parts.
Total points = [91/100] 👌
I assume most of you will recognize this Generation 1 ("G1") Transformer Inferno, but especially people like me who grew up in the 1980s 😊.
You would think this could never work, so much details and moving parts in a relatively small build, but Alex has done it! This is where you see his background as a toy designer and being a Lego Master Germany winner.
If there would be something to complain, it would be the weak mid-section and some of the older and more expensive parts. Still, it holds up well in standing position and the ladder helps to balance the MOC, and but for many of the older parts, you can find a cheaper Lego alternatives.

About Webrick:
Webrick is offering a bricks service for MOC builders. You upload the part list via their website and you instantly get the % of available bricks and their cost.
In the case of the Firechief, 16 parts were not available. I looked them up on BL or my own inventory. This makes a +96% hit rate on part list.
They mainly use GoBricks parts. The pieces are really good, super color consistency and only few scratches.
I hope you like the review and let me know what you think!

* Generation 1
* Classics
* Movie
Another pictures of my collection through the time:
I forgot to mention this movie for my most anticipated list yesterday, but I am kinda excited for it. Anyway a new trailer just came out for it and it looks pretty interesting, it kind of lacks transformers and stuff but it's interesting. Though I'm a huge Transformers fan in general, absolutely loving the og cartoon, and find some enjoyment in the movies. Go check out the trailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=AntcyqJ6brc and holy shit does Optimus Prime kill Bumblebee?????
Pointblank from G1 Transformers cartoon series, turns into a futuristic speedster. Transformation doesn't require reassembly of parts.
I am taking inspiration from both his original toy version from the 80s and also some design cues from his cartoon/comic version.

This is a copy of the Transformers Annual from 1987. ‘Transformers’ is an entertainment franchise which includes toys, comic books, animation, video games and films. This annual is an extension of the comic book series which ran from 1984 until 1993.
“Carry On Collecting” is a project set up by the Museum of Hartlepool to collect objects which represent everyday life in the town and beyond, from the 1950s through to the present day. The collection also attempts to represent the diversity of the people of Hartlepool over the past 60 years.
I`m back from "vacation" . Sorry for the long wait. Anyways here`s Bumblebee from the 2007 Transformers movie. I really like how he came out although he`s a little chubby and bigger than I expected. (he`s a little bigger than Barricade) I try to focus more on accuracy, stability and transformability over scale. This is much more complex than the first bumblebee I made from Transformers prime.
Here is Megatron, the big, bad leader of the Decepticons from the 2007 Transformers Movie. He took longer than I expected mainly because his transformation was very hard to figure out due the fact that barely any of the parts in his jet mode appear in his robot mode. I usually refer to the toys as reference but for megatron, I used the concept art because I think the toys did an awful job of representing him and most of them have the huge wings in jet mode sticking out behind him. He probably the most detailed and poseable. He is fairly stable in robot mode except for the panels on his legs and front nosecone. In case you are wondering, I made optimus first because he was more complex, I wanted to have them built together and I was worried I would run out of parts for optimus first. Unfortunately, his complex transformation that takes up more than flickr's annoying 3 minute video limit, so I cant really show his transformation video. (I'm debating whether to get a youtube account though.....)
Here is Knockout from the Transformers Prime Tv series recommended by 97legomaniac a while ago (I know he made a larger and mini version of knockout on his youtube.) Sorry for the delay I was busy with school work. Knockout is very complex for his size and is probably the most complex carformer I made along with movie bumblebee. Unlike my movie bumblebee he actually looks fairly good in both modes. He took very long to make and I tried my best.

Yay these new hinges help a lot and I wouldn't really be able to make him without them. It would be sooo helpful if lego released these in half size
Robot mode- His Cgi model looks almost impossible to translate correctly in toy form. His toy did a pretty good job of doing so. It was much harder to do so with legos at this scale. There were a few major things I couldn't do. First of all I tried my best with the head. I was originally going to use a red claw piece for his crest but it looked out of proportion and plus it barely fits in vehicle mode as I have it now. Secondly his arms look awkward because of all the hinges due to transformation to orient them correctly. He also has back kibble unlike the toy which cleverly folds the roof halves on his arms, but it is only a small panel and is pretty clean though it does prevent his wheels on his back from being in the right position. His legs came out very nicely as the panels fold out of the way (Though it took a while to figure it all out) His back wheels are in an fairly accurate place as they appear to be (sorta) integrated into the legs like the in the show
Vehicle mode- He is a sports car resembling an Aston Martin (correct me if im wrong) Pretty sleek compared to most my carformers. I tried my best with the coloring such as with the dark red on the hood and white on the sides. The wheels stick out too far but I couldn't do anything about it. I tried my best with the back. He is supposed to have 4 back lights but I could only fit 2. (there weren't that many shots of the back of his car mode in the show anyways) The new double hinge only comes in black (And yellow orange) so I tried to cover it up with dark red tiles making the front windshield area look awkward.
Transformation- Check it out here!

Thanks again to 97legomaniac for recommending me to do Knockout. Hope you enjoy him!
