Love, Death & Robots

/

I’m only a few episodes into Netflix’s new animated anthology series Love, Death & Robots, but the Three Robots short is definitely an early standout for me. Lu Sim made a MOC of one of the titular robots, who comes from a long line of baby monitors. He also created some fun alternate expressions for the lil’ guy. I wanna animate him!

Classic Space Robots are Helpful

These robots, inspired by the classic and well-loved Space theme, are always willing to lend a helping...claw? GolPlaysWithLego built these very friendly looking robots earlier this week. Not only do they have a unique style of legs and bodies, but they look quite efficient and in good condition. I'd be okay with these bots working on my spaceship, would you?

     My name is Nathaniel Stoner, and I am an very active LEGO builder.  I mostly build in the themes of castle and science-fiction, but I also dabble in other genres and create occasional random MOC's (My Own Creations). 

     When I was younger, I would get and build small LEGO sets for my birthday, but I was never really into them.  When they fell apart, I would become frustrated attempting to put them back together and would throw them in a box in my closet.  I couldn't stand them!

     Then, miraculously, I became addicted to the LEGO brick later in my teen years.  Ever since, I have continued to build up (pun intended) my collection of bricks and to expand my knowledge of techniques and building skills.  LEGO is truly more than a toy, its an art form and a way to express yourself.

     For the most part, I collect LEGO Star Wars (mainly the minifigs), which is probably my favorite LEGO theme.  I have a fairly decent collection, including some of the original 1999 sets, such as the Snowspeeder, X-Wing, and Naboo starfighter.  I also collected LEGO the Lord of the Rings when those sets first came out.  The minifigs are great, and the story remains one of my favorites ever. 

     My hope is to inspire other young (and perhaps even older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity!  You can find me on my Flikr here.

Try saying that three times fast.  Drone lovers beware, there's a dangerous group of rogue robots on the loose.  Hide your LEGO first, then your children.  These guys incorporate so many different elements that it takes a very keen eye to catch them all.  Something else that I personally appreciate is that they're not all the same model, or even the same size -- they come in all shapes and sizes!  While the very little one on the far left is cute, I find the one to its right even more adorable!  Most robots tend to not feel emotion, but this group seems like a well-oiled family.  Nice work on these, .Tromas!

If I had to pick one word to describe this new mech from Moko, it would have to be "beefy". Just look at the lines on this, the mass, the strength. This is the sort of machine you go into battle with, clomping headlong into the fray. And judging by the firepower on this, it's going to pack a wollup. The color scheme is also very nice, all that olive green gives this a definite military feel.

When I was a kid, I always thought it would be cool to have a pet monkey, you know, to fetch stuff I couldn't reach, throw excrement at people I didn't like, and such.  But now that I'm older, I've started thinking that a general purpose robot would be MUCH handier.  And less messy.  My old buddy Simon, aka Si-MOCS has built this nifty dude, Claptrap, from a video game called Borderlands 2.  You'll notice the high intensity greebling under the arm, and the well textured wheel.  But the use of the PAB cup as the eye cover is, at least as far back as I can remember, unique.  Darned clever!
