“Hatchet Boomerang!”

It looks like the Pandemonium Empire has resurfaced and they’ve learned from their past defeats. And all those spikes collect Omicron rays. You know what that means...

This is the most stressed pose I’ve done with the Teknomeka skeleton. There’s a lot of force on the bent knee and ankle, and the arm with the hatchet. It holds up with no problem.

The legs on this mecha, as well as the head, remind me of the “Mazinger Z” and “Getter Robo” style robots; Actually, The head and the axe remind me of Garada K7 http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN925447

Are you using the same teknomeka frame for each of these creations, or do you build one frame per mecha? I would love to see a group photo with the Giant Robo, this mecha, and some of your other large creations.

Great work!

Later, Chris

Thanks. I built two frames during development and reskinned the second one several times. I wanted to see if I could get a retro look. This one looks eager to fight Getter Robo G, hatchet to hatchet.

All the giant robots from the 70s anime series were sort of rounded and impractical and the bad guy robots always had a gimmick, a unique weapon of evil genius (to make it look like they had a chance of winning, for the sake of drama). That “Garada K7” looks fierce. I like the accentuated edge to the blade that says “I’m sharp enough to cut you in half”. My robot’s horns shoot red lightning bolts, they are very dramatic, with background music, and cackles of evil laughter.

I’ll do a group photo when I finish resorting and cleaning up my construction area.

Your Teknomeka are SO ENORMOUS! They’re so big that in the thumbnails you can’t tell if there are any studs! Great feet and head on this one--very impressive.

Thanks. I gave the head a pronounced jaw and made the feet stubby and rounded for the retro look. I’m going to try to further develop this style. Actually though, to be proper retro giant robot minifig scale (RGRMS), I think it would have to be at least 25% larger!
