Tim_Barrett Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I knew something was up when I saw the rear design, and then it freaking transforms into a robot!? Didn\'t see that coming!(do we have to make it transform into a robot?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGuy Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 off topic: looks like they ripped off he F-14?on topic: well, how are we supposed to make it transform into a robot without making it into a lagfest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMattyPrince Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Considering Marcross Frontier is one of my favourite anime, I may just try this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayneCloud Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Must build in fighter mode.Yes, it was based off the F-14 hull.Yes, the VF-1 has 3 'modes', Fighter, Guardian and Soldier. Otherwise known as Fighter, Gerwalk and Battleloid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwolf Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 the VF-01 is a design classic, i bildt one out of lego when i whas 10. it transformed too and fell apart a lot :-[ but its going to need a good moder to bild on, theres a lot of moveing parts.oh just the fighter thats no fun =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razgriz86er Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 just the fighter would be easy enough. just give me a smaller rectangle and a square piece to work with. I\'ve made an f-14 scale to the cockpit before but i ran into collider hell (relaunching without returning to the base was resulted in a grand fireworks display). or i could make due with a cube like fuel tank.in short i need more shapes and sizes to work with before i could do the 'greatest sci-fi fighter craft' any justice.just look up my post on f-14 damned aerospace required, to see where i met limitations.good luck on this project!! don\'t let this one die without a fight or a sweet fighter craft to show for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
