Spyrius Bots

A couple of bots that I rustled up in the last couple of days to bring along for the lulz. We've got the Big Nipper, aka the Chairminator (it uses 5, 4 minifig and 1 technic. But you can only see 3 clearly here) with the tank treads and grabby claws, and the Stompy McWobblebottom mortar-launching mech. So named because the hips use my new favourite joint technique of mini balljoints in 1x2 doubleclips. It's a great connection, but not the sturdiest. More pics after STEAM.

 

I made a couple of modifications to the 8-wheeler too. It now boasts carrying points for those probe-y bits you put on top of rockets, MOAR floodlights, and a couple of TrOrnj antenna. Just cos.

 

Oh, and there's an ostrich wearing a bubble helmet. SPACE OSTRICH! (Anyone who was at AFOLCON will remember my mililand-scaled ostrich cavalry. It was a great hit with all the little kids and even adults that didn't really care about my spaceships. It's a talking point, essentially. I'm not crazy at all. Much.)
