UPDATED: Most Awesome LEGO Mech Ever, And You Can Build One!

This here is probably the most awesome LEGO mech ever, and it's a Gundam! The attention to detail on this creation is just striking, with various double joints and a transformation sequence that rivals that of model kits WITHOUT removing any of the LEGO block parts. This just shows the amount of precision and passion involved with this work, not to mention that the creator also included the V2 Assault Buster Gundam parts as well. The entire building and transformation process after the jump:

Now That’s an Armored Core: Aaliyah Custom


Found over at Armored Core-Wiki. Looks like Nineball Seraph isn't the only awesome bird in the sky. This heavily modded custom Aaliyah made by "Riyu Mu" (ゆむ) looks like it can dominate the heavens and rule over the throne held by Armored Core's big bad guy. Safe to say, it'd be interesting what a four way battle will look like between this guy, Nineball Seraph, Crest Black Rain, and the Cronus Vestal. More pictures after the jump:

Most Awesome Toy Robot Ever

Ladies and Gentlemen, the future is now. This is the little robot that could, and this video just shows what it is capable of. I'm willing to bet that some of you wished you have gotten this for Christmas, otherwise just watch in envy at what this little I-Sobot can do including slicing a dinosaur with a sword, and shooting various projectile weapons at different targets. Right now, I am only hoping that Santa remembers my request for one.

Trinity, Help!

Remember the scene in The Matrix where Neo first displays signs of being the One? I think that was one of the first few scenes in movie history that really made good use of bullet-time effects.

Fast forward a few years later, and someone's made a tribute video. Not content to be mediocre however, it was decided that no fewer than 440 hours of work should be put in to make it. And that LEGO should be used as the building blocks of the recreation. We salute you, LegoMatrix.


As always, for more awesome Internet finds, head on over to the Project Awesome thread in the forums.

Volpin’s Props Make Me Salivate

AER9 Laser Rifle from Fallout 3

Show me a person who's played Fallout 3, and I'll show you someone who won't be able to resist this AER9 Laser Rifle replica. Heck I'm sure even some of those who haven't played the game won't be able to resist this. Just look at it! It's literally having the same damn thing (except it doesn't fry people to charred skeletons). This one, along with many other video game-inspired swag, was created by Harrison "Volpin" Krix. More samples of his work and links after the jump.

You'd wanna see this, trust me.

Scratch-Built AC ‘Opening’ from AC:FA

Maruza1

No, we're not dead. It's just been a slow week.

This AC's name is indeed Opening, which is Malzel's AC from AC:FA, one of the high members of ORCA in the game. I was confused for a bit there, but do enjoy the look of this model created by Shinsa in FGsite. Equipped with scratch-built GA parts (except for the HOGIRE core) and a lot of heavy weapons (especially the BIGSIOUX large missiles and the YAMAGA grenade cannon), this is turning out to be my kind of AC. More pictures after the jump.

Scratch Built X-SOBRERO Armored Core Model

XOBRE1

A scratch built SOBRERO AC from Armored Core: For Answer created by maro2501 in FGsite. It take a lot of skill and determination to pull this one off. Just look at the back mount quad chain-guns, who knows how much time were spent on making those and there are 2 of them! More pictures of this model after the jump.

The Armored Core Effect

Vesplt2

Forum member J.E. Magog was busy creating these model images using an SLR camera, light painting, and a lot of creativity. The resulting images are nothing short of awesome. More images after the jump:

Now That’s an Armored Core: Cronus Custom VESTAL

Oh boy here we go again. From 507 the creator of the ever so beautiful Crest Heavy Fighting Type "Black Rain" comes another beast of an AC machine simply called VESTAL which is a (heavily) modified CRONUS model kit. In contrast to his previous creation, this one seems to be built for speed and flight. Read on for more pictures of this beautiful AC.
