Brickshelf user LOVEJOINT has a score of interesting Bionicle creations in his gallery. Check out this goliath made from mishmashed Bionicle armor and parts. The style is much reminiscent of the Transformers from the movie, and if all parts had been in black, I would hail this builder as a LEGO Giger.
Whence and what art thou, execrable shape?
“It’s just a robot by Peter Reid. Sheesh!” So spake the Fiend, and with necessity, The tyrant’s plea, excused his devilish deeds.
Allister McLaren (CaptainUnderpants) has been slowly building up a series of large and awesome LEGO action figures which somewhat evoke Danger Mouse to me. Henchbot (the big guy) is his latest but do check out Doc Grok (also pictured) and Sgt. Destroy.
This “bionically enhanced alien cat” by Brickshelf user synderman doesn’t look like a friendly household pet, but it sure can be something to unleash on your enemies. With deadly jaws and sharp claws, this beast isn’t one to be messed with. I love how the builder captured the curvatures of the feline body in this excellent creation.
Well I think Marco Tagliaferri (Tagl) based his superb Golishar T on a Battletech design. Regardless of the source material it’s an absolutely excellent build. And I don’t even care much for Battletech-like design.
Andrew Lee takes his inspiration from an old BattleTech novel’s cover for his latest mecha. I love Andrew’s use of the LEGO Agents stickers:
Since we’re rifling through Andrew’s photos looking for stuff to blog, here’s a bonus microspace warship, Yen-lo-wang — one “bad mother”:
One of the things I love about Izzo is the building phases he goes through. Lately, he’s been on a bit of a transforming kick.
For several of his transformers (lowercase T), Izzo has included a diagram illustrating the stages of their transformation:
Izzo’s diagrams include a handy chart showing precisely how transformable each mecha is, ranging from “Fully Transforms” at the top to “Does Not Transform” down at the bottom. I suspect Izzo is being hard on himself with his low transformability rating. ;-)
Be sure to check out all six of Izzo’s transforming mecha on Brickshelf. Izzo also has a great roundup post of recent transforming mecha by other Japanese builders. You don’t need to read Japanese — just click the links!
Jehkay‘s most recent CMS-4W mecha provides construction, maintenance, and salvage capabilities. When it’s not floating, the mecha can dock with a “locomotor platform” (a pair of legs):
Here it is without the locomotor platform:
Fair warning that adult language and crude behavior on the part of a mechanized fruit juicer are a click or two away from any link in this post.
If you’ve never read the Penny Arcade webcomic, Justin Pratt‘s most recent post-apocalyptic diorama probably won’t make much sense to you:
As if fruit weren’t scarce enough in this bleak landscape…
Kevin Guoh (Kaye on Flickr) is quickly establishing a unique style for himself, with his super-tall, lanky mecha.
The feet are particularly excellent on Kevin’s latest, Lévinas (above).
Not content to let his amazing silver UM-5 War Doll shine alone, Brian Kescenovitz has built an all-black version that you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley at night:
