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.

Whip it!

Andrew Lee (onosendai2600) hates his city so much he sent a giant robot to whip it into submission. Follow the curved trail of destruction for maximum enjoyment.

Yo dog, I heard you like suits

So Lord Dane put a suit in yo suit so you can stomp while you stomp.

(I realize that I have added nothing of value to this post. The suit is that many kinds of awesome.)

Archangel mecha suit dominates the skies

Brian Kescenovitz built one of the best mechas I’ve seen in a while. Take a close look and you can see that he has spared no attention to details. The use of rubber bands to simulate wiring really adds a touch of realism. The presentation also plays a role in enhancing the build. Of course, Brian brings us the best of both.

Fabuforce mashes adorable animals with beastly mechas

This is what you get when the creative minds of Jordan Schwartz and Mark Stafford get together. Mark wanted Exo-Force and Jordan wanted Fabuland, so why not have both?

Mr. Tumnus bulks up

Lord Dane adds to his legion of mechanized minifigs with this construction hardsuit that has faun-like hooves.

In contrast to the playful Roman creatures that might have inspired this suit, I suspect this little guy is ready to get some work done.

What to do with Bionicle feet?

How about build an awesome little mecha, with a foot for armor on the body? That’s what Fredo (Fredoichi) has done with his new Hayaku v3 – Gun Runner.

There aren’t many parts available in the sand green color of the Bionicle foot he’s used, so he’s found a novel solution. He’s gone ahead and ripped the legs off of some minifigs, and used their hips as a detail piece.

Lego Iron Man privatizes world peace one brick at a time

I just watched Iron Man 2 this weekend, and I’m happy to see that Peter C. has captured the awesomeness of Iron Man in an action figure sized build. The head is a custom Lego-compatible piece from Hazel’s Amazing Armory, the core is a Clickits icon.

Stilty brings the beefy splat

I couldn’t pass up this sentry robot by Jas Nagra, especially after reading his pithy description: “Yes, they bring the beefy splat.” As Tyler says, they’d fit well in Portal or Half-Life.

Also, this real-life robot is extremely creepy:

Apparently, Boston Dynamics is Skynet.

What? You got something to say?

This mecha by Fradel Gonzales (Slice151) is fun and great by any standard. I particularly like the construction of the weapon on its left shoulder, and the way he posed it in a simultaneously brooding and challenging way. And the tan. I like the tan. It looks like it’s ready to take on the world.

LEGO slice151 bronte mecha

It’s named after his childhood dog, Bronte, that he pines for and still loves. That also is a great contrast.

Real life, including spending time with my real life LEGO friends, have been part of why I haven’t been blogging, so I figured I’d transition back into it by blogging a couple locals.

No Tom Cruise in this Valkyrie

Please excuse the atrocious title but I liked it better than ‘Robotech VF-1A Valkyrie‘ and if I called it Robotech I’d get a bunch of people complaining that I didn’t call it Macross (and vice versa). It’s by Eric Druon (BaronSat), who is one of my favourite ever builders. Oh yeah… it transforms too.

Arkov’s Ragdoll likes to play with scissors

Forget about mega blasters and great swords; it just needs a giant pair of scissors to do the job. Arkov’s Ragdoll has indeed that, and some very stylish hair.

Lino’s Scuttler is ready to crack open a coconut

For the Battle Bugs Jungle Fever Challenge, Lino Martins (Lino M.) built a coconut crab, Birgus latro.

LEGO coconut crab battle bug

Though technically not a bug, this largest of the land-based arthropods sports rear-facing swivel cannons, a phalanx gun, and long-range rockets. I can’t wait to see this in person at the next SEALUG meeting.
