Orion Pax, the master of Lego Transformers, has had a shot at working, transforming M.A.S.K. toys, including (so far): Rhino, Boulder Hill & Gator. They're just amazing!!!

BOULDER HILL by Orion Pax, on Flickr
Holy mother of T-Bob. I made Mask vehicles out of Fabuland Lego as a kid. This is better. :p
Did he chrome those Rhino pieces himself or are all those shiny pieces actually available?
This is awesome!
Id love to see Lego take on a MASK line, especially if they looked like this.
Looks awesome!
Perhaps i'm blind but I don't see any pics of the Rhino in 'battle mode' which kind of defeats the purpose of it.
I like how they repurposed a scout trooper's helmet to make Max Trakker's Spectrum mask. :D
Oh yeah. I coulda sworn I saw the attack mode, but I guess not.

I don't know if that link works, but there is one photo of Rhino in strike mode.
^ooh thanks SS, thats awesome. Cerifiably awesome :D
And to answer your query I would believe those chromed pieces are custom made. Although lego haved made chromed parts in the past I don't believe I've ever seen most of those pieces there in chrome form.
Those are amazing homages. :eek:
OMG oh so awesome, though some people have way too much time on their hands
Doesn't look much to begin with but the attack mode really makes this model! Also lovin the minifig
That guy is a savant.
So awesome, the guy is very talented!!
This guy should PDF his instructions and sell them.
So beautiful. I hope he makes Manta and Vanessa Warfield.
Me too... Also I hope he makes Nut Convoy :DQuote:

This guy is just amazing. His ability to use the different kinds of pieces to make these vehicles seems to come so naturally...
being smaller undoubtedly makes it more difficult to nail accuracy, but I am not as impressed by these two. Piranha was just lazy.
Thunderhawk, Condor and Switchblade look great.
Those are the same three I have here in Sydney. :cool:

Wow thats a really cool Gator! (orange jeep)
I almost thought the top chassis was a single piece ripped straight off the original toy!
I just found a photo - I was doing what Orion Pax does, back when I was nine years old!Quote:

They're all in 'strike' mode there, but they turned back into normal vehicles and a gas station.
That is gold! Nice find.
Very nice Mr. Shadow.
Now who's the savant. ;)
Thanks guys. I also made a Vehicle Voltron. It separated into the fifteen individual vehicles and recombined into the Aqua, Turbo Terrain and Strato Fighter.

Nice! :cool:
Voltron had 15 parts? :confused:
You had to make your own toys for Christmas? :eek:
