MS-07B Gouf by Chuck Citrin
Somewhat larger than his Nano Zeon Mobile Suits, Chuck Citrin has built a big blue Gouf (info):
Get your stinkin’ paws off me, you damn, dirty Exo-Ape!
Nelson Yrizarry has done it again. Tremble in fear and awe at his Planet of the Exo-Apes vignette. Check out those awesome Exo-Apes made out of Exoforce bots. He’s also made a exo-scorpian out of the bot parts.
Lara Croft vs. T. Rex!
It’s hard to believe that it’s been more than ten years since eager computer gamers first began controlling the increasingly curvaceous (hurray for higher polygon counts!) Lara Croft in Tomb Raider games.
