Hey everyone, I’m back with two new MOCs and a diorama featuring them.

First off are the mechs. I posted them in the same folder, since they’re built with the same idea in mind and there aren’t a lot of pics of them... so here they are, Gruntbots Assassin and Sentinel:

I call these Gruntbots because... well, they do look gruntish, don’t they? Here’s their descriptions.

Gruntbot Sentinel: The Sentinel is armed with two high-power energy cannons. This bot is sent on mostly protection missions, and is usually found defending a base, but can be used in special assaults. It has heavy armor, high attack power and low mobility.

Gruntbot Assassin: The Assassin is armed with two retractable heat blades in its arms. It also holds the ability to fly, via high-power boosters located on its back and lower torso. This bot is sent mostly on assassination missions, but is often used in large-scale assaults. It has high mobility and high attack power, but sacrifices defense greatly.


Now then, about the diorama... I thought it looked kind of neat, so I slapped it together in five minutes and took some pics. I also believe this folder contains the first ever MOC picture including a highly dangerous animal. The photos almost turned out bad on account of my horrendous fright. Anyway, here I put two large green panels and connected them with a plate with a pillar thing on top, so I called this the Assault On Open Field. Enjoy!

Well, I hope you have somewhat as much fun looking at the diorama pics as I had making them. Lemme know what you think.

These little bots are cool. I’ve been working on some bot-type bodies so I can stick minifig heads/helmets on them so they look like power-armor soldiers. You’ve given me some good ideas!

My Legos, like yours, fear the wrath of my cat. I’ve built a dropship large enough to haul my mechs, and my cat once crawled inside it. The damage was serious, but not fatal.
