Hello all,
I was recently at TRU, and came across a new designer set called “Robo Platoon”.
It was along the same lines as the original “Mini-Bots” set that lego offered
last year. So, I bought one, because I have to support Lego’s continued
interest in producing mecha sets.
That being said, I noticed there was room for improvent; for instance, the mecha
could use Torsos, legs which did more that just spread, arms with elbows and
shoulders, and so on.
So, last Thursday evening, I set out to create a more evolved robo platoon:
These microbots were made using parts from the robo platoon set, the minibot
team set and some technic pneumatic tees that I usually use for wrists on my
larger mecha. I initally tried to keep the feel of the robo platoon set, but
the red and the tan bot took on personalities of their own, and they continue to
evolve.
For microscale bots, they are pretty robust; I tried to avoid using studs for
frictiion.
Later,
Chris

The booster/wing combo on the blue one is my favorite. (...) (20 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) don't you just love the simplicity of the smaller mecha? your little guys look great! nice proportions. that blue one has an anime look to it with those jet-thingies (love my technical jargon?). the use of the t-valve has become a staple in (...)
