Ideas For Transformers Hands

[Henchmen4Hire]

I recently started collecting Transformers again, and it reminded me of how disappointing static hands are. Are there any galleries showing ways to make robot hands with LEGO? Are the pieces not small enough to make them at a proper scale?

I flicked through the LDD offerings and cobbled together this design. I wasn't intending on making it transform (I just wanted to make replacement hands for Transformers), but I'm glad it worked out that way lol.

So you're brick-building hands for non-Lego Transformers? No matter what you're building these for they look phenomenal!

If you wanted to go with a tried-and-true classic, there's always the Exo-Force hands: http://images.bricks...pg?200709260358

Edit: Whoa! I just noticed you used the new Nexo Knights Squirebot bodies as the base of your hands. Genius! Would you mind if I used that design sometime?

Yep, looking for a way to articulate non-lego Transformers (and by extension, any figure really).

Yeah, that Exo hand design might work for Voyagers and bigger, they're too blocky for my liking though.

Is that what the piece is!? No wonder the transformation came so naturally. All I know is it was a great base to build hands on lol.

Go ahead and use any designs I make, I don't get bent out of shape over that kind of stuff.

Sick nasty. Thanks!

So how are you going to attach the Lego to the Hasbro?

Probably modify the hand piece (assuming I find a usable design) to accept something like this

That way the hand is removable and the wrist is articulated.

With a little bit of work, those ball joints will probably work. Using those joints opens up the possibility of using Mixels parts as the base of the hands. Be sure to post the results!
