Turn your LEGO NES into a cool Game Boy transformer

Turn your LEGO NES into a cool Game Boy transformer

The LEGO Ideas section usually offers us absolutely crazy designs that leave us with our mouths open. In most cases we think how it is possible that such incredible and well executed designs come out of a user’s head, but what we have in front of us today breaks all kinds of molds. And, what if we take a previous design as a base and turn it into something completely different?

Reinventing a LEGO

LEGO Game Boy Robot

The imagination of the Moko Brick Laboratory channel has no limits. In one of his latest videos he has presented a very original project, since using the pieces of the fantastic LEGO set # 71374 called the Nintendo Entertainment System, he has managed to give life to a very peculiar Game Boy made of blocks. And it is that in addition to maintaining a fantastic aesthetic close to the original Nintendo console, this construction is capable of transforming into a whole robot.

As if it were Optimus Prime himself, this little Game Boy unfolds his pieces to become a spectacular Mech , all with moving parts and exact mechanisms original from the set of the Nintendo NES and the toy television. This is where his greatest achievement lies, since he has not needed additional pieces that were not included in the set (it is true that it includes 2646 pieces , which are not few).

Can I build this Game Boy?

Its creator has left all the necessary steps in the video, although if it is already difficult to assemble the original construction of the NES, we do not want to imagine how long it could take to manufacture this peculiar homemade design.

The resulting Game Boy has details such as the cartridge connected to the back or the screen in greenish tones like the original console, although the most impressive thing appears when we unveil the Mech, since the head, feet and even hands remain perfectly hidden until that we open it completely.

A not so original design

LEGO Game Boy Robot

The result of this construction is incredible, however, it is not as original as we think. As they point out in Nintendo Life, several years ago the designer Baron von Brunk created a Mech very similar to the one we show today, with much more detail regarding the robot and a Game Boy design not so square but more true to original look.

Most likely, Moko was inspired by this design, but in one way or another we cannot deny that both works fascinate us. And to think that to assemble the LEGO Land Rover we had to go through the manual a thousand times …

Next we leave you with Baron von Brunk’s website so you can take a look at all his homemade creations with LEGO.
