A Robot With 'Tude...

...And a washing machine for a head. Fighting stains is serious business on this bot's home world, wherever it is. And if you are unfortunate enough to be wearing stained clothing in proximity to it, prepare to have a dark fate brought upon you.

Krazy Legs

 Hugebricks is no stranger to articulation, having built some amazing and quite posable figures. But this thing is Krazy (see what I did there?). One or two photos really doesn't do this build justice, click through and check out the photostream, you'll thank me later.

Robotriffic Sunday

As I rub the sleep from my eyes and sip my PG Tips this morning I'm pleased to see a really cool robot on Flickr. Then another...and ANOTHER. Three robots, three artists, three winners. Rather than post three in a row, I'm mashing them all together in one epic, robotriffic post. I hope you're sitting down kids (I am).

First up is Spr1nt3r. Thirdeye88 describes this as a "doodle" that got more serious. The flexibility and color scheme on this MOC caught my eye. It's just itching to be posed.

Next up is NHI MPHS-NFA-05E (uh, what?) from - NHI -. The proportions and those giant hands make this MOC stand out. It's got some really interesting connections and details too.

Last up, and my personal favorite, is Tubby by m_o_n_k_e_y. Mostly because I think this is probably what I would look like in robotic form.

TS-18 Earwig

It's a mechanical kinda morning. This this is beautiful, from the color scheme to the details. I have to admit, I thought this was a render at first, the photography is so flawless. Nice work all around legorobo.

Greeble Mech

This thing defies the eyes! I've never seen robotics and greeblies blended so seamlessly. Check out those legs! It's like Gundam meets ED209 and a little Borg cube thrown in for flavor, amazing. The background is a bit distracting, it almost looks like a grainy photo but it's actually textured.

ST-XM1/D Hoplite

For some reason this mech by SPECTRE reminds me of a shop class teacher I had in middle school. You know the type, preaching about safety and pointing at you with his three remaining figures. As far as mechs go, this thing is pretty beefy. It looks like it means business.

Orbscure

This is one beefy, stocky mech. I would love to see this thing clomping through a darkly lit, steamy corridor. I dig the color scheme, it's almost steampunk with the copper highlights and shaping. But with this stance, it's clearly not cog-driven.

Xire - Urban Patrol Mech

We can only hope in the future the mechs and other robotic conveyances have a sense of style and color as sweet as this offering from David Steeves. I really like the use of yellow, there's just enough to trim, but not so much it's overdone.

Zoids!

I played with Zoids as a kid. If I still had them I'd probably still play with them (don't judge me). With the Zoids contest happening on Flickr we've seen quite a few recently. I'd prefer all these were real bricks but I'll take the digital versions too, they still make me reminisce. Now would someone build Gore please?

Robo-Rex

Here at BrickNerd we like to look back, sometimes WAY back (like 65 million years). When dinosaurs roamed the earth and they were all gear-driven. Sure some scientists theorize that an asteroid killed them off, but I'm guessing it was a lack of quality lubrication and probably rust. 

Onyx

With Pacific Rim out tomorrow there's mech fever in the air. So far I haven't exactly been jonzin' to see it, but it's from one of my favorite directors, so I might have to give it a chance. In the mean time we can all oggle at this nifty MOC by ZephrChaos.  

Prototype Evangelion Unit 00

I have to confess ignorance of the origins of this mech, and some quick Google searches left me even more confused. Regardless, I like the pose, the color, the build and the photography. And if I like it, it gets blogged :-)

LHB-022_V.E.S.P.A_19

This is a seriously impressive mech. The stance, the coloration, the detail and the design are all impressive. Combine that with good photography and this is the total package. Click through for many more pics of this awesome MOC.
