Originally built and created in 2014, this is an updated animation of my transforming Game Boy Advance "Vantage" -- in his traditional purple color scheme!

This LEGOformer uses a similar design and concept as my popular Game Boy Transformer "Domaster" from 2012 -- which was published in Nintendo Power's May 2012 issue. Vantage is much more flexible and fluid, with its usage of Hero Factory parts for smooth articulation. Vantage was also created and photographed shortly after I first began shooting with a DSLR in early 2014.

Vantage comes equipped with dual battery blasters, akin to his predecessor Domaster. The batteries can be stored in his back compartment, along with additional "kibble". His transformation cycle is rather quick and simple, with most of the steps involving rotations of his legs to form the sides of the Game Boy Advance handheld.

In early 2015, using the construction guide of this model, I built several clones: red, black, and classic Game Boy grey. My intention was to sell these at a video game convention, but instead I chose to sell my electronic LEGO sprite lamps instead. The Vantage clones will be featured in an upcoming video.

Please note: although the video thumbnail and website link clearly shows Vantage holding what appears to be a Doom shotgun, the video omits this weapon. In the original creation and photo session of Vantage in spring 2014, I built a transforming Doom game cartridge with the parody title "BOOM"; this game transformed into a shotgun accessory. Unfortunately prior to recording this video, the BOOM game label peeled off, and for the sake of brevity I opted to exclude it from the animation.
