Is This the Finest Lego Gundam Ever Made?

Building robots out of Lego isn't anything new, but detailed Gundam models that can actually transform? Now that is something special.


It's hard to decide what's more impressive, the Lego Gundam itself, or the video that creator Torri Ares has put together to show it off. The video shows the basic model actually being made in time-lapse photography, and then demonstrates the transformation process and the variant Gundams you can make with it, all set to pounding techno music. On the other hand, it's a freaking Lego Gundam! How cool is that?

What's particularly impressive is that the transformation process does not actually make use of the Lego itself, with Arres having designed a way for it to transform without having to clip anything together. It makes more sense if you watch the video.

So, is this the finest Lego Gundam ever made? Honestly, I'm not sure, but it's got to be a contender.

Oh, my, god that kicks ass!

Seriously, that is one of the most brilliant things I have ever seen.

 

[Rainboq]

That guy had WAY too much time on his hands

 

[Therumancer]

Meh, Gundam is okay, but I'm not quite enough of a fan to appreciate something like that.

 

[Pm0n3y]

I bet KYOJI!!! helped him.

 

[Aura Guardian]

This guy put those model makers to shame.

 

[IamQ]

Holy shit, that was aweosme!

 

[MurderousToaster]

Wow. That must have ate into his spare time in a big way.


I wish I could summon up the levels of motivation to do that.

 

[Rigs83]

I did not know you could do all of that with LEGO's.

In answer to your question, yes

That's freakin' awesome!

 

[tmujir955]

HOLY CRAP!

These need to be real LEGO sets, regardless of price.

Damn! I'm no Gundam fan, but I am a LEGO fan, and that is fucking impressive. Just making the Gundam itself is a feat in and of itself. Making it recognizable to a non-fan and making it transform 10+ different ways is incredible. I'd even put my vote in for this as the Finest Lego Gundam Ever.

 

[BabySinclair]

Lego needs to hire this guy

To me, it seems more like a mix between a Megazord, a Transformer, and a Gundam.. And I don't know what it'd be called. : /

While I have no interest in Gundam, I am having a legoasm right now.
