Chris B has recently posted a couple of small robots/hardsuits that have a lot of style. He has achieved some really cool shapes and details at a small scale. I especially like the head and shoulder winglets on the yellow one. Based on their names, there may even be a third one in the works.
Not content to let his amazing silver UM-5 War Doll shine alone, Brian Kescenovitz has built an all-black version that you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley at night:

Long-time readers of this blog should know by now that I’m a sucker for small adorable things. Tim Zarki isn’t helping my addiction by posting this cute little hardsuit inspired by Maschinen Krieger (often abbreviated Ma. K. or MaK):
That’s a Technic figure helmet. I may just have to dig mine out of my “useless” bin and give this one a try myself. (I know, I know, there are no useless LEGO pieces!)
Brian Kescenovitz‘s newest creation is a combat hardsuit called the War Doll. For a small model, this deadly machine has details all over, with the most impressive one being the opening mechanism of the control center, which nests a pilot minifigure. Way cool
After dropping out of the LEGO scene for a while, Horace Cheng is clearly back with a vengeance.
Can a hardsuit be swooshable? Yes, yes it can:
Bonus moon-bot with modular limbs:
Aaron “DARKspawn” Andrews is participating in the hardsuit contest over in the Flickr LEGO group. Is this the third of three cool hardsuits? Only time will tell…
It’s been a little while since we’ve featured a hardsuit inspired by Maschinen Krieger (or Ma.K) — a series of plastic models designed by Kow Yokoyama in the mid 1980’s. Here’s a nice one by Tim Zarki:
Mecha fighting each other gets stale. To alleviate our boredom, Aaron Andrews (aka DARKspawn) presents something capable of taking on your hardsuit or mobile suit or whatever:
The pad to the rider’s left is apparently a “portable food synthesizer with voice command.” Heh heh, cool. Oh, and Tim “Spook” Zarki also posted a cool little hardsuit:
lego2000/m20xr has designed a hardsuit reminiscent of Maschinen Krieger, and it’s really rather cool. Here it is with an “optional 75 mm chain gun”:
