Although I wasn’t there to see it, Dene Quest’s gigantic MS-06S Zaku II won the Best Mecha award at BrickFair this past weekend, and rightfully so. A humble man, Dene has not shared much regarding the creation, but the pictures speak all about it.

Rong Yiren has quickly become known for his quirky Mechs and Primal Bots, but this is what happens when he gets bored…

Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) invents a novel concept of mech racing on these two-legged swift racing runners. You can even build and customize your own racing mech from the basic frame design that Tyler has provided. From what I can tell, this design offers many points of articulation and is sure to be sturdy. If you don’t believe me, try one out for yourself!

Jayfo’ posted these two petite robots in his “tablescraps” Flickr set, earlier this month. I love those expressions! Now I need to get some of those letter tiles…

…but someone actually used Galidor pieces and used them well. Steve Puckett pulled this off with a figure called “Zantanicus”, among others. I salute him for a job well done!

Check out the entire gallery.

Nathan Proudlove has grown -I mean built- his own mutant man-eating plant, Audrey II (from Little Shop of Horrors, entirely out of Bionicle pieces.  Incredibly, this is Nathan’s first Bionicle creation.  Nathan was inspired after listening to an interview of Bryce McGlone, who was recently featured on LAML.

Mike Psiaki (who is no stranger to being blogged) has built a climatic scene from The Lost World: Jurassic Park that is better than the movie it was based upon!

Also check out Mike’s three Pteranodon and Parasaurolophus:

EDIT: fixed errors, thanks Dr. Paleo!

Mechanical anthropologists have long speculated about the afterlife of the Primal Bots captured on film by field researcher Rong Yiren.

Now we have the answer in this photo titled “Damnation!”

Yes, but where do good Primal Bots go when their power sources run out?

Inspired by Brian Kescenovitz, Jas Nagra has posted a lovely pair of armless mecha in black and gray:

Brickshelf user LOVEJOINT has a score of interesting Bionicle creations in his gallery. Check out this goliath made from mishmashed Bionicle armor and parts. The style is much reminiscent of the Transformers from the movie, and if all parts had been in black, I would hail this builder as a LEGO Giger.

James Wadsworth, host of LAML Radio, has audaciously reached the most mysterious builder on the internet - Nnenn. As a highly prolific space artist, Nnenn has astounded LEGO fans with his polished and stylized spacecrafts. As a person he remained nameless and faceless online. Now LAML Radio has a detailed and comprehensive podcast interview with Nnenn, enjoy!

Furthermore, throughout the month of August, James will attempt to interview one builder each day! Check back often at LAML Radio; you’ll never know who’s next.

Whence and what art thou, execrable shape?

“It’s just a robot by Peter Reid. Sheesh!” So spake the Fiend, and with necessity, The tyrant’s plea, excused his devilish deeds.

Kevin Guoh (Kaye on Flickr) is quickly establishing a unique style for himself, with his super-tall, lanky mecha.

The feet are particularly excellent on Kevin’s latest, Lévinas (above).

As I said a couple weeks ago, I really enjoy the little descriptions Teikjoon includes with his LEGO photos.

The “geological research and exploration vehicle” Jehkay posted recently sports more play features than you can throw a brick at.

It has manipulator arms on the front and a motorbike on the back:

The shape of Izzo’s latest mecha is highly unusual, with a pointed “nose” and tons of wings:

Looking beyond the obvious, note the use of snowshoes in the backpack/engine! More on Brickshelf.
