Using the parts from the brick I just got from the k-mart sale (and some parts I managed to dig out of my packed collection) I made a new bot: http://www.zemi.net/lego/blog/ This is the biggest "bot" I've ever made. This thing would tower over a human. This size might actually bridge the gap between bots and mecha for me. The idea for this came from wanting to build a bot around the bionicle head part (32553). Tell me what you think! [ j o n ] -- http://zemi.net http://the-shipyard.com http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=jpalmer

(...) Pretty cool. My first thought was that the thing was really small. Upon closer inspection, it's actually a pretty decent size when compared to a minifig. Looks like a beetle, or maybe even some sort of baby armadillo. -Duane (21 years ago, 30-Apr-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) tan fits very well and, once again, an excellent use of a Bionicle mask by you. Legs design is simple yet effective. -Andrew GardenSLUG (21 years ago, 30-Apr-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

Hey there, Jon! This is a nifty little bot you've built. It looks like a mini MDP in a greebly turtle shape to me. Tan and light grey definitely work for this model and compliment each other quite well. Nicely done! Hope to see more mecha from you (...)

		Re: Bot 13
Mmm...the colour scheme turned out nicely. Of course the overall look is good enough to eat, but I really like the use of the grey boat ring to get the feet on an angle...really makes it mechorganic. Now make a fabulous army of 'em. ;) -G (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

		Re: Bot 13
Brilliant. (as always.) I love the shape of this guy. Using the lever bases as 'feet' was a good touch. You are the master of Bionicle! Dang, I need to get myself a few Bionicle masks... -JHK (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
