We recently featured Moko’s happy robot, and now Izzo contributes to the happiness as well. I would love to have one of these charms sitting on my desk, and it’s that much nicer that the model was based off a drawing by the builder’s son.

In a future without cell phones...
Sometimes, the concept of a LEGO creation is what gets my attention. That’s not to say that Teikjoon‘s “Headphones” isn’t cool on its own:
But here’s the description:
The increasing amounts of technology in cellular phones eventually led to the creation of the largest network on the planet. On July 28th, 2009 this network achieved self-awareness and named itself…SKYNET.
Overnight, all existing cell phones were rendered useless. In their place, strange, seemingly intelligent robots appeared. By interacting with these robots, one could place a call to anyone on the planet, without paying outrageous charges to telecommunication companies…. (More…)
Ha! This deserves a second creation from Teikjoon — a prisoner transport called “Cruiser”:
Happy robo
Of all the cool adjectives to describe robots and mechas, there’s none that makes me say “happy” except Moko‘s recent creation of a happy retro robot. Smile :)
Micro Warhammer 40K diorama
Inspired by Alex Kahler’s micro creation featuring a mini Dreadnought from Warhammer 40K, Jarek presents a micro dio featuring a few of his designs, including a nifty little tank, complete with an accompanying diorama.
RG-400 construction mecha by Grenouille
It would seem today is mecha catch-up day. ;-) Our final mecha of the morning is by Brickshelfer Grenouille, whose RG-400 construction mecha towers over the urban landscape:
Here it is in action:

Izzo’s bipedal homage to Kwi Chang
Remember Kwi Chang’s bipedal mecha featured earlier this month?
Izzo was inspired to create a tribute version of Kwi Chang’s original:
While Kwi Chang’s version has a definite military feel to it, Izzo goes for more of a law enforcement look.

Hume v.2 by Kevin Guoh
Kevin Guoh (Flickr) has posted a beefed-up version of his Hume mecha. There’s nary a smooth shape in sight on this thing:
Check out the contrast with the original version — what an improvement!
Horace Cheng masters the skies
After dropping out of the LEGO scene for a while, Horace Cheng is clearly back with a vengeance.
Can a hardsuit be swooshable? Yes, yes it can:
Bonus moon-bot with modular limbs:
Malakh and Varuna
Kevin Guoh (Flickr) is on a mecha-building roll.
Malakh looks like it could take on a host of demons:
And Varuna looks agile enough to leap over tall buildings in a single bound:
Spooked again
I don’t have anything particularly useful to say about Tim “Spook” Zarki’s latest mecha.
So, without further comment from me, feast your eyes on the beefiness of the “Baelisk Variable Flight Artillery Platform”:
Post-apoc robot stands out like a real sculpture
Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) has made an extremely realistic looking post-apoc combat robot, which from a glance looks nothing like a brick-built LEGO model. But don’t feel bad if you got fooled like I did, it’s the Legohaulic we’re talking about.
Rolling through the blasted landscape with Horace Cheng
With everybody distracted by shiny Cave Racers, it seems the end of the world has been staved off for a while, or so it would seem from the dearth of decent ApocaLEGO lately.
Fortunately for us, Horace Cheng has taken his recent snowmobile design and added a bunch of stuff to make it zombie-proof:
Bonus Iron Man hard suit:
