Transformer Builders Contest

Archive: 12 posts


Hello all of you little big planeteers! Welcome to my Little Big Planet Transformer builder contest thread. This contest is to see who has the skill, who has the creativity, and, who has the time to create their own working Transformer from the Hasbro toy lines (any series: G1, G2, beast wars, beast machines, robots in disguise, armada, energon, cybertron, animated, even the movie!) whichever you like best or can do the most with!!!!

So if you think that you're up to the task and like Transformers enough to find this interesting then give it a shot! Go get your favorite (or simplest)Transformer go back to the TV and start building!

Rules:

1.Your Transformer must be from a toy line that was made by the Hasbro toy company. If you cannot identify the toy line then send me a pic so that I might be able to identify it. If no one can identify it you will be disqualified with that model.(don't worry my dad is a hardcore collector and he knows most of the Transformers that you could possibly have)

2.It must be totally transformable from one mode to the other and back again and preferably by one base action

3.Your Transformer must be able to move.

4.Your Transformer must be confined to the maximum size of one veiwpoint camera (which is alot more Transformer than it sounds like)

5.All moving parts required must be stuck together in some fashion.
Which means don't have one mode of the Transformer disappear and the other mode appear through an emiter. You will be disqualified.

6.Have fun and don't get too frustrated!

NOTE:If you are not a skilled designer you may not wish to undertake this challenge.

second NOTE:I will provide an example level sometime soon that is within the guidelines.

judging.
All of your Transformers will be judged on their:
looks
handling
accuracy to the toy(colors/shape)
accuracy to the toy(Transformation process)
And those little things that make it just a little cooler could make all the difference!

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions post them here or pm me.
Thank You!

Lmao I just read through the whole post thinking this was a competition for making one in real life...
You might want to make it a bit clearer
Quite a cool contest.. If I think of a feasable way, I'll do it

I'm attempting to build a fully functional Optimus Prime for ya (and your contest)... hes coming along nicely and I'm just working on folding him down into his Semi form, then I have to paint him. If you take a look at some of my stuff you'll notice right away I have an extreme eye for detail.2009-03-07 04:12:00

i think i have played your 'saving private ryan' level but i can't remember how detailed it was

you can tack a look at mine i'm going to publish an early version today but bumble bee still needs some work

i havn't set a deadline because i figure that if there are not enough entries then i won't end the contest. so go ahead and build one when you get the time because i don't have anywhere near enough entrants yet!

yeah....it's better not to have a deadline in this one.... or if u create one make it big. It's kind of tricky to build a transformer.

i have to say that i'm not interested in participate because i don't want to dispend my time in that complex contest but i have to say that is quite a fine idea....

i would like to see the results....... it's hard to see a vehicle well designed, good looking and mechanical well produced.

actually you'd think that building a small one would be harder but it's not as long as the transformation isn't to complex and the thing isn't super-detailed.

UPDATE!!! there has been a slight delay in the publishing of the example level due to the fact that i was banned from the ps3 by my parents i'll have it up by thursday

EDIT: the level is finally up!!!

mostly for showing off your creation skills i think that it would be ok if you can come up with a completely original design but it should be very well done like try to trick me into thinking it's a real transformer but it's alot easier if you just copy a toy

P.S. check out my example level go to search and text and type in @TH3C0M3D1AN it's the one with the red autobot symbol on it

This sounds interesting, i might try it if my head doesnt explode. Can i make it look like a transformer in general, or does it have to be one of the toys. Like, can i make it a transformer from the new movie?2009-06-04 03:10:00
