This MOC was posted before I really knew Joe Meno, and back when I was just starting to open my eyes to the AFOL community (you mean there's more LEGO nuts out there?). It remains one of my favorite MOCs of all time. And I'm happy to call Joe a friend now. He was very instrumental to introducing me to a fantastic community, and I probably wouldn't be doing this today if it wasn't for him. Thanks Joe.

VRCP (Variable Role Combat Platform)

This is a very clever concept, a military vehicle with five different purposes depending on which module is attached to the back. Sorta the KitchenAid mixer of modern combat. I dig the dual axel steering in the front, and the attention to details all around. Check out the use of the crates on the missile launcher to break up that big surface and imply armor, brilliant.

The Exodus

I once moved across the country with a U-haul, a station wagon, two guys and two barfy dogs. We did it in two days, just in time to start production on a horrible movie. So I can only imagine what it's like to be on a colonist ship, endlessly trekking across the cosmos. Of course I also just spent three days on the Disney Dream, so if there's a movie theater or two on this baby (and all you can eat ice cream) count me in. Nice build Tim, she's lovely.

Take Cover!

Science fiction has a long and enduring history of imagining how our alien overlords will take over our planet (at least the dystopian visions, I rather prefer the E.T. scenario). This concept, of the great walking instrument of destruction, is as old as any, and still just as disturbing. I know it's become cliche, but take a second a think about it, can you imagine just how scary this would be? This thing lumbering down the main street of your home town, a wake of destruction behind it, certain death in front of it. There, you're welcome, sleep tight.
