yes the the bucket does lift up and down and nope the tracks dont move.should i build 2 models of the same one that will allow all the parts to function as a regular bull dozer i.e raise bucket and spinning tracks .and 1 to allow for transformation?take alook at this pic and tell me if the turning tracks are possiable

I think if i understand right you wish to make this bulldozer a transformer... i will say one thing. To make a transformer, the only way is if you strategically plan it out so that you have different parts of the mech type (the robot) and then you have to use those to make a bulldozer or whatnot.. i think you will have to plan this on paper by drawing out the parts of it and then going back and forth, adding piece after piece to a mech and to the bulldozer at the same time.. then you can take a bulldozer and make it transform easily. If your not actually tranforming the bulldozer into a mech, then forget this post.. heh.
