Izzo hasn’t just been making musical minifigs lately. Look for some new mecha here on TBB soon, but I wanted to go back a few days to one of Izzo’s earlier posts.
Tremble in fear before the mighty Amazon!!!
I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw this. She’s so, uh, top-heavy!

Mecha can be pretty big, but Brickshelfer MACHA goes the other direction with a series of tiny creations inspired by Gundam. Click the image to see multiple galleries of pint-size creations:
(Check out the itty-bitty Guncannon in the middle of the picture!)
My only disappointment is that MACHA hasn’t created Gundam itself. Oh well, we can hope for an update.

Brickshelfer Tac makes some pretty awesome Mecha with a great deal of detail. It’s no surprise, then, that Tac has great skill in creating power suits. I’m hoping Tac will soon expand these “Elemental Warriors” to include more elements.
In the meantime, here’s “Heat”:
And “Ice”:

Moko’s latest mecha is gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh, or at least plastic. Viddy this zammechat mecha (via Snoikle and Builder’s Block):
To do some real ultraviolence, what this beastie needs, my droogs, is a great big pooshka on its rooker. And nozhs for zoobies. Appy polly loggies for my strange chepooka today, O my brothers. (Need a hint? It’s orange. It’s mechanical. Get it?)

I would like to propose a fight between the following two giant robots.
Contestant number one, Ultra-V, fielded by Mark Sandlin:
Contestant number two, RG-47k, sent forth by Chris Giddens:
And…fight!!!

Several weeks have passed since Soren Roberts posted his Gundam instructions, and models that use those instructions are beginning to turn up.
mumu follows Soren’s instructions fairly closely, making it easy to visualize the virtual model in “real life”:
m20xr/lego2000 takes some liberties with the virtual design and creates a nice RX-78-2:

Izzo’s recent series of awesome mecha hardly seems like it’s going to stop anytime soon, but his blog posts over the last few days have included two versions of the Artist Formerly Known as Prince and then Known as Prince Again after Being Called an Unpronouncable Symbol for a While (heh heh).
Here’s Prince with (a somewhat larger-than-life version of) his motorcycle from Purple Rain:
And here’s His Royal Princeness with an awesome “do,” cravat, and guitar:

I haven’t quite figured out this recent creation from Squieu. Sure, it’s a mecha, but it’s very sculptural:
It’s very strange, but still very cool. (Thanks to Linus Bohman for the pointer!)

Ever wanted to build a mecha of your own? Not satisfied with puzzling out building techniques from Brickshelf pictures? Wonder no more! Soren Roberts and Tim Gould have teamed up to announce step-by-step instructions for Soren’s RGM-79C GM mecha:
View the partslist and download the instructions (in PDF format).
(Okay, so I have some catching up to do… Credit to mumu for blogging this first.)
Master mecha modeler Tac has posted several mecha inspired by pieces from Exo-Force set 7705: Gate Assault.
This one’s my favorite, mainly because green is my favorite color and I just got that alligator minifig (complete with rare green hair):

Hurray for mecha with German names! Today’s installation brings us a super-detailed mini-mecha from Squieu.
Check out the rifle, missile pod, and shoulder-mounted Gatling gun on this little beastie, called “Kluge Jaeger”:
