Done Some Quick Sketches (Very Quick Look like a 5yr old has done them) of roughly wat i want the transformer to look like.

Obviously when i get started in maya i can really begin to plan out how to do this. Its gonna be real challenge to design something that ultilises part that can fit in botht the mech and vechile.

Went into Maya and used primatives to kinda plan out how it will work

I know it isn't very cool, yet it could be very fun to have a domestic robot, a servant type, which would come out of the wheelchair, instead of a fighting robot. indeed, it would be even useful for daily life!

keep it up!

Maybe it could be a medical droid? - white with red crosses etc. Useful for both humans and injured bots.

Or maybe you could convert the idea into a futuristic person transporter, like a 1 man bike/car hybrid?
