Knex transformer Poll
I am considering posting another transformer instructable from my collection of transformers i have. It whas been a while since i posted anything and wanted to conduct a poll to decide if and what i should post. So for this poll please on one submission per person and to include only the following:
If you want to see a new transformer instructable yes or no and your reason why also which one of the many transformers i have posted you want to see.
Depending on the outcome of this i will make my decison

now that you made them make them move better im just sayn they dont move like they should
Knex are not the most forgiving when it comes to articulation. So when creating them I got the transformations as accurate as I can, but making it pose is another thing all together.

wow I love all the transformers on this site, especialy yours and I have now subscribed Ive always wanted to make a knex bumblebee but I dont have enough joints. I wanted to make one like battlefronts bumblebee as the new camaro
The Bumblebee Camaro Transformer posted by Battlefront, is my design that he reverse engineered.

I couldn't find ironhide. I would like to see Ratchet or even better eptimus posted in an instructible. I am always up for a good challenge.

I am trying this actually. The pictures are great to work from. The same goes for Ironhide. I only ask to see if they are exactly the way the builder intended when I get finished. I am doing one of each the size you are showing and then I am making another of each as big as I possibly can to see if I can do it. I have allot of knex so that isn't a problem. Transformers just take allot longer, and I have a few different models going at the same time so I don't get bored. Will put up pictures when I am finished with any of them. Then I am going to build the decepticon that transformes from all of the construction equipment in the revenge of the fallen.
You could always try to build my optimus prime www.instructables.com/community/Kneximus_Prime/ without instructions, that would be a challenge.

hey everyone! I was able to build optimus from a picture that I downloaded to my computer from this site. I might even show you a picture of it too! It took me four days to build too. Glitched9700 you are incredible at building knex transformers and keep up the great work.
4 days isn't bad took me took me longer to create him originally, can't wait to see it. I spent a most of my summer building them, Ironhide took me about 4 different versions be4 i got it right.
I am not building anything like that currently it was just an idea I had

Hey, thanks! I spent like 4 months building them, and cool pic benboy
They are very impressive, Very well done without instructions. They are very similar to the versions that are posted. As a critique Bumblebees head isn't distinguishable from his body, Also I recently changed Jazz( not posted yet) to look more like his car. You duplicated it accurately but I never was happy with his design. Ratchet again was duplicated perfectly, but with all my transformers new and imporoved he is on the chopping block now. Anyways, Keep up the good work I hope to see some original transformer designs of yours.

Hey glitched, I made a custom transformer 9 months ago ,and it was very cool to look at. It had to be dismantled(which I did not want to do). I thank that kneximus prime is the coolest thing I have ever seen on this site! I am totally SPEECHLESS!! Did you notice on my bumblebee that it had different arms and had guns in picture 2?
yeah looks like you took my older version of bumble bee and gave it your own upgrade which is cool.

Hey G. I have been working on a knex transformer that is custom. It com out horrible but is a lot better now but not done. Do you remember that tow truck in transformers? His name is longarm that is the one i am working on. I am also using the toy for reference. I will post pics soon.
awesome cant wait to see it. Toy is the best reference you can get.
Feb 9, 2009. 8:25 PMbattlefront1
says:
I only used it for ref. The product isn't the toy the products name is RUSHER his vehicle is a rally car. I like the car better than robot form it is finished(finished it tonight) just for the record. Pics will be posted tomorrow. HOPE YOU LIKE HIM!
Feb 10, 2009. 5:10 PMbattlefront1
says:
heres rusher the coolest transformer i made. hope you love him!
very nice, I like it, one tiny suggestion if you can figure out how to make the front of the car split apart and become seperate legs. Also getting the balance between making an awesome car or make an awesome robot is very difficult but it came out good.

I was able to split them. I have been woking on him since last sunday.

Here's the new ones I am working on. The first one is Starscream. The second one is Brawl.
First let me say these are fantastic, I am just wondering are you using any reference for these? like toys? pictures?
Feb 25, 2009. 12:05 PMbattlefront1
says:
Thank you! I have done some remodeling on starscream( there is a two tail finns now. He only took one night to make. I am trying to fix his arms. I don't like them that much. Brawl took 8 tries. I did use the toys at first for ref. I did not on the starscream. I used memory from my toy transformers( on the final models). I will post pics of my new starscream very soon( tonight or tomorrow). I fixed the legs too( on starscream.)
Some transformers are very difficult to build and takes a few rebuilds to get it right, I had to rebuild everyone of my transformers from all the pictures you have seen because I wasnt happy with them. so I understand what your going through with brawl.

here is the new starscream and the new head mold of bumblebee!
very nice, can you post a picture with him next to another transformer? I'm curious to see how big he is by comparison.

Thats what i was going for when I built him, I also gave him a slight makeover and will post some pics.

Blackout had been dismantled for parts, he is being used in my current project ehich is demanding alot of peices.

Hey glitched, could you post some more pics of jazz because I am having some problems figuring out how to build the hood. I would really appreciate it if you would also show me a bottom view of him too. THANKS!!!

I would make an instructable on your smallest one then if you want to make another just do the one 2nd smallest one to make it easier on you
OK well to add to this ther eare 2 things i want to do eventually but it wont happen for a while so dont keep your hopes up, I want to build exact scale model of frenzy that transforms and a better version of optimus that is movie accurate. Don't hold your breath I have far more important things to take care of but thats what i would love to be able to do.

Yes I would like to a new transformer instructables because it is cool and make a good collection in my room. I like the Optimus Prime because it looks good, big and the character can be recognized easily. It will be great if you can make Megatron. I love to see both Optimus Prime and Megatron instructables.
