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:

Retro Japanese TV Mecha by Izzo
Let’s check in to see what Izzo‘s been up to lately… Why, it’s a series of hyper-colorful mecha inspired by retro Japanese TV!
Growin up in Japan, my brother used to get up earlier then the rest of our family on Sunday mornings and sneak off to his friends’ houses to watch shows like Kamen Rider. I preferred Ultraman myself.

Want to build Naoe-Force? Kazuyoshi Naoe is three posts in to a continuing series of step-by-step instructions on his blog:
Channana3‘s top-heavy robots and kwi-chang‘s “LSF-004 Fantasma” starfighter:
Sugegasa’s racing brooms and magical cannon:
And a platform for his broom racers to take a break:
Izzo gets in on some transforming action and a squat little black mecha:
Squieu‘s chess-themed “Guard Bots” (via Moyblik) and Dan Sibley‘s “Benaelem”:

Jamie Neufeld presents a retro-ish robot dubbed “The Quantum Super Thunder Galactic Robo Fighter – Atomictron 7” (I kid you not):

There are no studs in Belville
Not exactly, but Izzo says that Belville figures “Have so very few studs, so few studs…” Regardless, he manages to fit a Belville fig into a sweet purple power suit:
While we’re at it, here’s Izzo’s previous powered armor for a Belville fig:
If that’s not enough of a Belville fix for you, a quick search on Flickr will reveal several more interesting creations.
(No. I refuse to add a Belville category. You can’t make me.)
Short Circuit’s Johnny 5 by Steven Marshall
We like reader submissions! Steven Marshall used the Contact page to let us know about his cool new Johnny 5 robot from the 1986 movie Short Circuit:
(I know, dear readers, we don’t post everything you send us. I’ll set up a separate submissions page that might help explain why.)

TRU Japan Exo-Force Mashup Contest
Toys R Us in Japan is sponsoring an Exo-Force Mashup Contest that challenges builders to combine any two Exo-Force sets into a new mecha. The two example mashups should be familiar to TBB readers — Van-Force and Naoe-Force. Several Japanese builders have already contributed entries.
Kwi-Chang gets things going with a mashup between 7700 Stealth Hunter and 7714 Golden Guardian:
Although I posted it earlier this week without any explanation, here’s Izzo’s combination of two copies of 8105 Iron Condor:
Finally, Sugegasa has promised to get in on the mashup action, but I haven’t seen the result yet.
