a friend of mine told me he come across an MINI transformer but i cant find one anywhere on the net. has anybody else seen one?

my favourite kids program of all time matched with the greatest car of all time. win win situation

 

They used to be available from the dealers and MINIUSA, but I'm not sure if you can still get them..

 

Note that they couldn't actually transform back into a car - they were basically giant robotic figurines that were made with the appearance of MINI parts. Cool, but not the same as the official toys that CAN be converted into vehicles, etc.

Here's a photo of one, although they had several designs (colors, flags, etc)

 

Somewhere on the MINI-USA was a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE PDF picture of the aformentioned MINIbot that you could print out and hang. That wasn't too long ago, mabye still there, or I think it's on my computer if you can't find it.

the size of that baby!!

i think thats a file to be emailed to work an use their ink!

that's for the info guys!

 

Am I the only one that all the pages don't print out? I get all but around page 141-144 there are two missing.. it's part of the door panel.

 

i've not had a chance yet mate.

the printer is next to the boss. he's not taken any time off since the link was posted

 

Did anyone ever print the giant Transformer Mini off?

 

I did.. made him poster size though, (in photoshop) He was missing a couple of sheets, but still looked cool

 

it would be pretty cool to print him out and paste him on your grage wall.. hmmm.. think, think, think

 

I don't have that much time to print off that huge thing. Not to mention the ink or paper to do it.

 

Hasbro and Dream Works tried to get the licence from MINI to do a MINI Cooper transformer for the movie after getting turned down for the New Beetle.

Because MINI wanted to do their own DW and Hasbro were turned down from MINI too.

Now take a good look at the face of the "MINIbot" and the face of Bumblebee from the movie. Notice a resemblance?

DW's little FU.


There is a classic Mini cooper Transformer that was only made for the UK in the 80's and pops up on ebay once in a while. Not very often though.

 

Kind of like this?










Sorry Mike, couldn't help it

 

dude... Smokey has ALL the cool toys tonight!

 

I'm playing catch up

 

That's it!!! don't tell me you have it

OK spill. Where did you get that? I've been trying to get one for over a year now.

Very cool

 

Yup those are my pictures of my copy It's the display version

Only place I've found them was on eBay and I think that this one came from Amsterdam or the UK. Happy hunting

 

Tell me when you're going to put it up on eBay.

 

I know they had an Electric Blue with white top and white strips... I didnt get it when I saw it at my dealer like several years ago and now I want it but cant find it anywhere... does anyone where they're still selling them?

 

I got the R53 DS/black Transformer on my toolbox at work....Need a little more space at home to put all this stuff.

 

So Mike suggested that I post this little project that I was working on. Here's my first prototype of my little bot. He's put together using parts from a mini cooper model, transformers (ironhide), and some other random flea market toys (it was in spanish so I have no idea what it was). Wings are from Angel (x-men)

The third link is the whole album. There are some other shots of parts. I'll be adding more pictures of him after I finish another project.

Enjoy,
Michael

 

Interesting model, but does he transform?

 

Not yet...I can bend him into a position that gets close. For the next one I'm hoping to change that.
