Ryuhei Kawai (Kwi-chang) recently saw TRON Legacy and was inspired to create this four-wheeled sci-fi buggy as his first LEGO creation of the year.
The buggy has four-wheel suspension, and looks like it’ll go just about anywhere.

The Great Emancipator
With my latest creation in the Iron Mountain Legion theme, I wanted to add some levity. It’s a post apocalyptic military force, but I imagine their grip on historical record might be a bit lacking.
I imagine them recovering a prewar robot, and deciding to turn it into an inspirational tool, as well as a weapon. I also just thought that the idea of a robot Lincoln was hilarious, and once I thought of it, I had to build it. The name, of course, adds to the joke, Linear Neuralnet Cyborg 1 (LNC-1).
If this is Wrong...
Then I don’t want to be right. I’d much rather be building mecha like this one by Rong Yiren. I just finished a mecha of my own, and it doesn’t appeal to me nearly as much as this does. The killer detail? The removable helmet!
Let’s play ball!
Check out this mecha by The Magic Tuba Pixie over on flickr. This thing has some great functional looking greebles, especially along the back. It certainly looks like there are pistons and stuff that help this thing move. Add in the posability of this thing, and you’ve got a great creation.
King of the cold
Aaron Williams (m_o_n_k_e_y) ignores Summer to bring us Blizzard Peak. I wouldn’t fancy being the pilot of this beauty in a war but marching to parade would make me very proud.
Fluffy Bunny
Andrew Lee (onosendai2600) has just posted a cool mecha that he calls “Fluffy Bunny.” While it certainly doesn’t look fluffy to me, it does have a bit of a resemblance to a bunny. I also suspect that he may have found some inspiration in artwork for the upcoming film Sucker Punch.
Whether Andrew was inspired by that art or not, he’s done a wonderful job. The ear-like antennae on the body of the mecha really add to the bunny feeling. He’s also used just light touch of pink (a rare color, to be sure), that adds a bit of character to the creation.
Tomorrow is Thursday, Delta Thursday
Flickr user LegoLord continues his Dawn Core series in the footsteps of Keith Goldman. The Delta Thursday is the latest in the weekday lineup and depicts an assault on an sci-fi air base. Check out Monday through Wednesday and don’t miss the full gallery.
Bacon and eggs chaser
That last one deserves a chaser. Here’s an adorable robot composed of bacon and eggs by KryptonHeidt.
Looks delicious, even to a vegetarian like me.
Mecha without expression
This mecha by Nathaniel Shields is called Without Expression, but to me it looks full of character. The use of the tire is intriguing.
Thanks for the tip El Barto!
The BP UD-S Un.001 underwater drill suit will plug your leaking oil well
We could certainly have used this little mecha by Chris (Ironsniper) a few months ago. I love the tiny little arms and the big Bionicle harpoon.
Thanks for the tip, Nancy!
Hungry for kills
As best stated by the builder, Huib Versteeg (spacie 11), “this monstrosity will either blast the enemy into a trillion bits or devour it. And if it doesn’t do either of those, well, then it’s malfunctioning and should be disintegrated.”
Did I mention it actually walks?
