We all love a good LEGO Gundam or Macross mecha, but LEGO builders everywhere are also creating excellent models of their own designs. Have a look at them here.

Lobar-class Heavy Lifter by Lukas

I love all the gears in this little micro mecha from Lukas (Flickr), inspired by Metroid Prime 3.

Moko’s iron giant

Moko’s been building mecha lately, check out this behemoth, called the Iron Giant. That mohawk is fabulous, and so are all the individual poses, my favorite is this one.

Explora Walker by Mark Stafford

Mark Stafford‘s latest steampunk creation proves that steampunk doesn’t have to be all browns and grays.

Tim Zarki is Bley — and so can you!

The color change from traditional grey to “bley” (bluish grey) may have caused some consternation among LEGO fans at the time, but things seem to have settled down to the point that builders like Tim Zarki (and our very own Nannan) have fully embraced The Bley.

Given the clear militancy of Bley Adherents, a Bley Ascendancy is surely not far off. I for one welcome our new Bley overlords, and as a respected member of the LEGO community, volunteer my services to round up insurgent “AFOLs” to labor in the orbital ABS mines of the Bley Collective.

If you run.... you’ll just die tired.

The SM-80 Arctic Sniper Mech has you in his sights. Take a good look at Tyler‘s newest creation before it decides to pull the trigger.

Evangelion Mass Production Type minifig by Mike Crowley

Mike Crowley wins. He just does. At everything. More specifically, he’s found 7668 Rebel Scout Speeder and promptly created a truly unique minifig using the new helmet. Behold! Eva Mass Prodution Type (from the anime series Evangelion).

Izzo’s shielded mechas

I particularly enjoy when Izzo applies a variation on a theme to his mechas. These battle machines are unique in what looks like a massive armor shield they carry. From left to right, they are named WingBunny, LazorBull, and HippoBlast.

Daddy Longlegs by Cthulthu

Given how most LEGO elements are pretty blocky, creating something that’s truly spindly is a challenge. Making it stand up on its own is nearly impossible. Fedde (aka Cthulthu) proves that it is indeed possible with his “Daddy Longlegs.”

What they do best

Izzo and Nnenn are respective master builders of mecha and spaceships. Check out their latest:

Sky-fishing with Owen Vanderbilt

I can’t imagine that the racket Jehkay‘s latest sky-fi vehicle causes wouldn’t scare away all the fish, but that didn’t stop Mr. Vanderbilt from trying.

While you’re checking out his photostream, why not stop by to see his lineup of “Sentai” mecha?

SMF2 by Moko

Moko‘s latest mecha goes against the spiky, chunky norm of most current mecha with lots of rounded corners.

GN-003 Gundam Kyrios by mumu

I missed somewhere along the way that there are transforming Gundam mobile suits. mumu rescues me from my own ignorance with his version of GN-003 Gundam Kyrios.

Here it is post-transform, in flight mode (and yes, mumu’s LEGO version itself also transforms):
