From all the mechas, this one has to be one that is closest to the image. It is almost scary how the lego has been molded to match the contest image. The only problem I see with that is, I hate the starting picture. All of the mechs entered in this competition reflect the builder, but I feel that the starting picture simply got the better of the builder this time. The “Bandolero “ attacks the lack of personality in this mech directly but even so I would like to see a Dark Iron Mecha that deviates from the starting parameters a bit but able to stand its ground against a Gundam in a battle.

Bandolero

The Bandolero story, with stylized images that obscured all the model details, and Spanish dialogue, was intended to show how the imagination can make something more real and interesting if it is given fewer precise details. This is the opposite of making a perfect model clone that leaves nothing to the viewer’s imagination, which is what the “industrial espionage” folder represents.

You can look at a well made model and appreciate it for a moment, but a story that seeps into your imagination might just get you speaking Spanish days later, for no apparent reason. :-)

I really like this list. Thanks for making it.

I see what you mean. I really enjoyed the Bandolero story though I did strain my eyes trying to get the details out. I guess I just wish the Bandolero version of the Iron Mecha was the main entry, even if the model was partially altered to allow the armor plates to open up.

I hope to see more Dark (or not so dark if you have decided to switch sides) creations from you in the near future!
