Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) presents two unusual creations dealing with the deviant wonders of science. His newest work is a Frankensteined version of the Slave I from Star Wars (built for Reasonably Clever’s Spooky Star Wars Contest).
His other recent work is a mech owned by the twisted Dr. Kringe. You can now see a video clip [...]
A few days ago Adrian Florea (Olog) posted a motorized steampunk battle machine, one with aesthetics blended into a clever mechanism inspired by Theo Jansen’s walkers.
See it in action!
Whew, back to normal blogging! We’ve missed highlighting a few non-BrickCon related creations over the weekend, but we’ll get to them.
Aaron Andrews (DARKspawn), who’s normally a castle builder, switches fancy and builds a big mech bay instead. It’s sufficient to say one might say that he’s been up to building mecha all his life, but [...]
Tekka Croe apparently spent 3 hours applying 41 decals to this very cool racer mech:
EDIT (TG): The mech is based on Chuck Citrin’s racing mech frame.
This gorgeous mecha by Jas Nagra evokes favorites by Soren Roberts or Izzo.
That’s a big complement, to be sure, but I like Jas’s mecha for what sets it apart from all of those — the knee joints in particular:
Michael Jasper is one of our favorite builders here on The Brothers Brick. He has recently updated his Characters gallery with major contributors to the sciences: Alfred Nobel and Carl Zeiss.
Most very large yellow and black mecha stomp around and build stuff in futuristic cities. Not this one by Redondo Fuentes (Flickr | Brickshelf)!
No, this one stomps around and blows stuff up.
Excellent use of the Space Skulls stickers!
(Another hat-tip to Fisch and his friend Forest. )
The racer mechs started by Legohaulic have inspired various versions created by other builders. The simple and sturdy design of the basic frame (building instructions) allows for much diversity to these runner machines, as you can see below.
Mechs from top left created by: Legohaulic, Proudlove, Nannan, arpy , peterlmorris , Legohaulic, -: Evo :-, [...]
Although I wasn’t there to see it, Dene Quest’s gigantic MS-06S Zaku II won the Best Mecha award at BrickFair this past weekend, and rightfully so. A humble man, Dene has not shared much regarding the creation, but the pictures speak all about it.
Rong Yiren has quickly become known for his quirky Mechs and Primal Bots, but this is what happens when he gets bored…
Toy News Online has published information on upcoming product lines for 2009. The big news is Power Miners, but there is news on Bionicle, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Tiny Turbos and more!
Launching in January, Power Miners will have year-round marketing support including a full PR campaign focused on the childrens’ press, online marketing, Lego [...]
Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) invents a novel concept of mech racing on these two-legged swift racing runners. You can even build and customize your own racing mech from the basic frame design that Tyler has provided. From what I can tell, this design offers many points of articulation and is sure to be sturdy. If you [...]
Jayfo’ posted these two petite robots in his “tablescraps” Flickr set, earlier this month. I love those expressions! Now I need to get some of those letter tiles…
…but someone actually used Galidor pieces and used them well. Steve Puckett pulled this off with a figure called “Zantanicus”, among others. I salute him for a job well done!
Check out the entire gallery.
Mechanical anthropologists have long speculated about the afterlife of the Primal Bots captured on film by field researcher Rong Yiren.
Now we have the answer in this photo titled “Damnation!”
Yes, but where do good Primal Bots go when their power sources run out?
Inspired by Brian Kescenovitz, Jas Nagra has posted a lovely pair of armless mecha in black and gray:
Brickshelf user LOVEJOINT has a score of interesting Bionicle creations in his gallery. Check out this goliath made from mishmashed Bionicle armor and parts. The style is much reminiscent of the Transformers from the movie, and if all parts had been in black, I would hail this builder as a LEGO Giger.
Whence and what art thou, execrable shape?
“It’s just a robot by Peter Reid. Sheesh!” So spake the Fiend, and with necessity, The tyrant’s plea, excused his devilish deeds.
