Mark (petzoldhaus) from Youtube built a motorized Siege Tank from Starcraft 2. Not only does it run by remote control, it also converts into siege mode for punishing your opponent’s clumped up ground forces and buildings. You can see the internal workings in this video.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean video game preview on G4
The Pirates of the Caribbean LEGO sets released today reminded me that we’re starting to get footage of the upcoming LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean
Portal 2 – ATLAS, P-Body, and the latest Aperture investment opportunity
My lovely wife pre-ordered Valve’s Portal 2
EDIT: Of course, these are so timely and cool that we blogged them twice. Well, at least you can watch the video in my post:
Lego ATLAS and P-Body from Portal 2

As a bonus, check out the multi-colored turrets by Ryan (L D M) inspired by this trailer.
Metal Storm mecha by Cole Blaq
We’re used to small to mid-sized mecha from Cole Blaq, but his latest is a rather massive stomper inspired by the old NES game Metal Storm.

The minifig in the cockpit gives some sense of the mecha’s scale:

Master Chief is neither the most interesting nor my favorite character from the Halo universe, but he is lucky to have the honor of being sculpted in LEGO by Jack Marquez (Ewok in Disguise).
Though a bit foreshortened in this photo, the assault rifle is a nice build in its own right.
[April Fools’!] LEGO Halo video game release date confirmed, September 14, 2011
After three years of delays, the LEGO Halo video game finally has a confirmed release date of September 14, 2011. The release of this title may promise a launch of LEGO Halo sets in 2012, so get in your warthog Master Chief, it’s time to finish the fight.
Will Page’s Portal turret
While we’ve featured several Portal turrets in the past, this version by Will Page (Haystack Hair) is one of the most accurate Lego renditions and even features opening side panels for the guns. Now I really can’t wait for Portal 2 to come out.
Nathaniel Shields’s Halo grunt
We’ve featured two Lego Halo grunts in the past, but this one by Nathaniel Shields is perhaps the most accurate. The builder makes great use of Bionicle parts as well as a few System bricks for intricate small details.
We shall not relinquish the historic eggs!
If you’ve played Angry Birds as much as I have, you’ll love these renditions by Tsang Yiu Keung. The only thing missing is the Mighty Eagle, but I don’t want to pay an extra 99 cents anyways.

Master Chief’s helmet looks good in Lego, but won’t stand headshots
Ben Caulkins (Benny Brickster) created a faithful rendition of a gray version of Master Chief’s helmet from Halo. If you’re like me, you’d like to know if it’s wearable. Yes, it is.
48 wheels, remote controlled and with a very big gun
Our occassional technic reviewer Peer Kreuger (mahjqa) doesn’t just know about technic, he’s a dab hand at building it. Drawing inspiration from the Metal Slug computer games and his own omniwheels he’s created the crazy remote controlled Metal Grudge. And to really take it to the next level he’s used camera cars to get action shots like the one above. Much more fun than a computer game.
