Aaron Dayman has ventured into the uncharted (for him, anyway) waters of Bionicle/Technic building, armed only with a seed part (the long gunmetal panels), and created this Scrapmetal-Bot Scorpion. I like the combination of gears and tubing, especially on the tail.

ToM has put up some new pictures of his White Makuta creation. My favorite part is probably the warhammer.

Primus's Call of Cthulhu uses inverted tires and tentacles to make an excellent squiddy sort of head. The rest of the diorama isn't too bad either. You can check out his short comic leading up to this creation if you're into that sort of thing.

A couple of creations for today. First is Rojaz's Clone Trooper bust, based off the pivotal scene from Star Wars Episode III wherein Emperarth Palpamasidious tells his clones to off the Jedi:

Also, TOAOFCOMEDY's miniature Krika build is instantly recognisable, in part due to the use of Kraata for the head and leg spikes:

However, I would suggest using these for the front spikes instead.

BZPower's current building contest requires entrants to build something from a work of science fiction. As the deadline nears, some great entries have come in. First up is Blue Diamond's R2-Q5 astromech droid, which uses stickers and dome pieces quite well:

Kakaru has built a turret from the video game Portal:

I went old-school and did something from a book, or rather a series of books: A Formic Drone, or bugger, from the Ender's Game series:

Pate-Keetongu's Spider-Man creation has a great solution for the head that makes it instantly recognisable:

Primus's Katsumoto is a fine samurai-inspired creation with some creative parts use. Note particularly the use of treads and the unified design aesthetic (read: poky bits) on the arms, shoulder armor, and torso.

Jason Corlett has a pair of steampunkish post-apoc sort of creations, the Wasteland Scavenger and Clockwork Soldier:


There's more at his MOCPages if you're into the story side of things.

Flickrite Pate-keetongu has built a rendition of, well...Keetongu. The colors could use some work in that the secondary one should be all black or all gray, but I like the use of Bohrok headplates. They give this revamp a Juggernauty sort of vibe.

Hi-res pictures of some sets for Hero Factory, Bionicle's new summer replacement line, have surfaced. Bearing oddly human names and overly specialised parts (I thought Lego said this new line was supposed to be more flexible? I really dislike the arm-covering weapons as they will be difficult to use with anything besides these 45-degree arms), the sets still look all right. The leg armor and helmets may find good use for their intended purpose in other creations, as will the feet, which are probably my favorite pieces. Below, the improbably named Jimi Stringer:
