My LEGO Nexus Organization

Welcome, one and all; to the first contest of the newly restored MLNO.

Your task? To build a Mech. The kind of mech that people pilot in different series, like anime or other such shows, or even Exo-Force. Kinda simply in theory, yes, however, this mech has to have some points of articulation; that is, it has to at least be able to move it's limbs, if it has any.

It's up to you what you want to build in terms of the type of Mech, but a bipedal mech or an animal(Not anime, animal. As in four legged)-styled mech tends to work out easier.

You can use any type of system to make your MOCs. You can use LDD or real bricks. If you use LDD, it doesn't matter what mode you have it in, though it's encouraged to attempt to use something that others can get if they want.

Rules: You must be able to move the Mech's limbs. If you can get a good looking Mech that doesn't have limbs, then that's fine as well. However, don't just have a turret as your Mech, that doesn't typically go well.

Try and include a place for your pilot to sit; you'd get more attention during the voting if you successfully pulled this off.

Link your entries in this topic. However, post the topics for your MOCs over in the MOC Corner, as it'll get more attention there.


Other info:
You can also use this topic for discussing the contest.

The submission period for the entries is June the 12th.

The prize is a grand total of 10 rep and a possible image award for the winner, and each participant receives 2 rep points each. You can enter more than one creation, however, please note that you will only receive the participation points once. Runner up prizes are yet to be decided.

Alright. =) And thanks, Legodac, the idea just popped into my head, and this hasn't had any contests since the restoration, so I thought 'why not?' =)

Awesome! I'll try and enter. :) If only I had some of the new Alien Conquest sets, they'd be great for this. :P

I haven't exactly seen them up close, but I think I know how that makes sense. =) I need to see them soon, likely. =P

The two human sets (the blue ones) are basically classic space sets, apart from the aliens. Which I love. ;D Here:

And the other big blue set.

I'd love to turn one of them into a sort of 'Classic space mech'. ;D

Ooh, those could be pretty nice, yes. =O The uniforms look pretty cool too, they're designed similarly to the Exo Force 07/08 uniforms, aren't they? The Human ones, at least.

Yeah, I think they are. :) And for a change, the aliens are actually invading, whereas in most cases the humans have either invaded or been working with the aliens. :)

Yeah, a good change for once. =P Should be an interesting line. =) Though, I expect, if this takes off, for there to be actual mecha in the future. =P

Yeah, probably. :P I'll claim copyright if there is. :D

That's true. xD

Haha ;D I'll get to work on building if I can find the pieces! :)

Alright then, sweet. =) Do you have some of the sets, already? =O

I wish I did, but I don't. They're on pre-order right now, shipping in three days. ;D Might get one, seeming as I actually haven't had a LEGO set in ages. I'd say almost a year perhaps. :o

Ah, I see then. So, you're just gonna be using your current sets? That's pretty cool then. =)

Probables, probables. :) Wow, that's actually a word. I thought Aleksandr the Meerkat had invented it (you probably won't know who he is, he's like a cultural icon over here because of his adverts.) In case it means anything else, I meant to say "probably, probably." ;D

I see. =P

It likely is only treated as the plural of 'probable'. =P But interesting, that. xD

Haha, yes, probabl...es :D

Here is the link for mine! http://www.mlno.org/index.php?topic=6888.0

Jayko just made the first entry.

Are you entering all of the mechs, Jayko, or just one? Just curious so I can get an entry list ready. =P

I would like to enter Imagitron, and the woolly mechmoth. The other one was sort of a fail. :P

The mechmoth's a mech? Alright; then both are entered. You'll only be credited for one, participation award wise, but otherwise, you're in. =)

Yea, it would be a 4 legged animal mech! (the head is the cockpit)

Ah; that makes sense now. Good job! I personally haven't seen a LEGO Quadrupedal mech before.

Very nice Legodac.

Contest is over, topic closed.
