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!
Yeah sooooo, this is a picture of what about half of my Transformers collection looked like back in 2004. Yes, it's much bigger today. I'll have to take some recent pix soon.
I was thinking about Transformers because I'm making another huge purchase of these little plastic and metal action figures. In a few days I should be receiving two large packages with classic G1 Transformers inside. Many of them with their original boxes. I believe one of which was never opened *squeal*.
By the way, for all you wannabe pimps out there... The ladies love this stuff.
Transformers Decepticons de la Generación 1 y Classic que forman parte de mi colección. 17 de Octubre del 2007.
from the Transformers Movie (2007)
A very tricky build. It took me a good day and a half to finish this. I had a limited amount of olive green so I used a lot of bley for most parts. Pretty nice robot mode. Transformation is a pain. I couldn't add the machine gun to the claw arm because it wouldn't fit in vehicle mode. Also, the back turret sits too far from the main body and looks a bit awkward. Despite these flaws I am pretty satisfied with the results.
Jazz from the 2007 movie. It was really hard to go from the largest transformer in the movie (Blackout) to the smallest. Probably the worst transformer I built so far. It really was a big challenge to make him as small as possible to be in scale with the other transformers I made and still be able to transform. Very disproportioned but I tried my best.
