Hello Eric!

Hello Dan!

congratulations to the biggest Lego Robot/Mecha on Earth!

Thank you, it has come alive with much pleasure. (lol)

It is more like a robot than a Mecha the most people build.

I think so too, but it is just a kitty, not a mean beast. ;p

Amazing how great and long this Mecha is.

Thank you, it is long alright!

Is there a pilot integrated?

Yes in the head:

Construction dates only approx. 5 months? unbelievable!

I am glad it is over! I did prepare and sort Lego with my friends for at least 2 months prior to starting.

I look from time to time to the different staps.

Thank you, I am glad.

The ROBO QUAD is soooooo big, that man cannot understand all the building technics only with the Fotos. A video for this giant is interesting.

I don’t think it will fit in a car either!

Does it have another name?

“The most Mocked MOC on the planet”? No just Robo Quad. Grok it.

I still love this picture:

How do you make this picture?

I used Photoshop.

First I made a selection of the Robo Quad, using various tools. Then once the robot is isolated, I inverse the selection, and fill with black. Then add the selection to the Mr. Jeeves photo as a layer. I reduce the opacity and transform the size and distort the shape slightly, for each eye. Making a shadow effect on Mr. Jeeves eyes. Like he is looking at it, like a band of grokkers.

“7 years of collecting black LEGO to prepare” => CooL!

The origins of the Robo Quad came from the Super Mech Bot. I have waited for years until I was ready to spend the time to build with all the black Lego I had stored up, which I had intended to finish the Super Mech Bot with.

What do you build next?

Mech Bay 13 - my last creation before I retire.

Regards Dan

Thank you Dan, you have been a good friend.

yours,

Eric Sophie

(...) Wait, what? You're retiring? Not from building, I hope. I've always enjoyed seeing your giant mecha creations and have often wondered how you can afford the parts to build them. :) (17 years ago, 3-Jul-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
