Robo Fett: transforms fluidly from a Nintendo 64 game cartridge of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, to robotic Boba Fett, and back! Thanks to the advent of Mixels ball and socket joints, I can make my LEGOformers much more articulated and compact. When in cartridge mode, this can fit snugly into the game slot of Ultra Hexacon: the transforming Nintendo 64. When Ultra Hexacon was first released, I created two transforming game cartridges to accompany it: Mecha Kong and Hot-Shot (Donkey Kong 64 and GoldenEye 007, respectively). However a third transforming game cartridge was built but never released: Link 2.0, who transformed into a gold cartridge of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Although Link 2.0 was completed, I ran into problems with applying his game label, which interfered with inserting his cartridge into Hexacon’s game slot. For some reason, his sticker kept peeling off when inserting the game, thus I omitted from the photo shoot due to time constraints. My idea was to eventually retool Link 2.0 to have better clearance for the game slot, but unfortunately I abandoned the project
In early 2016 I decided to pick up where I left off and complete Link 2.0 — however, with its new retooling and transformation cycle, it was impossible for me to have the creation made predominantly of metallic gold pieces, thus I was stuck with having the outer cartridge mainly with the traditional light grey. This meant I had no choice but to base this off a different Nintendo 64 title; after debating back and forth between using Castlevania 64 and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (two of my favorite titles), I opted to build games of both — hence, the creation of the Hell Knight.
For making this model in particular, one of the toughest obstacles was making the arches on top of the cartridges: when transformed into robot mode, the arches are on the bottom of the feet, which make the robot have trouble standing up. To fix this, the robot’s legs have retractable toes built with hinge plates. The game’s labels were printed on glossy card stock paper and cut apart with scissors, then glued onto the outer tiles.
Had this one sitting around for a while now 'cause I didn't want to put it out without finding some way of adding those strange circuity decals and eyes from RoboForce. Its a reinterpretation of 2152, "Robo Raptor." It seemed like an interesting concept to revisit.
Eugene & I took our first ride with Waymo driverless taxi. It was a smooth pleasant ride. We came upon construction on the road on the way to The Palm Court with one lane of the rode blocked by two large trucks. The car slowed & went into the opposing lane & passed both trucks without any problem! collaborative photo with Eugene Marangoni
(aaaaages ago I said I'd take a photo of him for Rakka. I keep my promises - eventually. I don't keep to time tables though.)
There's a tiny little nut brain in there, chugging away, trying to decide what to do with the little dude.
Took the pockets off my 4yr son's jeans and embroidered them on my machine. The left pocket is monogrammed with ZSC in the urban threads steampunk font, and the right has RabbleRobot#4 also from urban threads :D
Its so much fun to do, and I seriously want to EMBROIDER ALL THE POCKETS ON EVERYTHING FOREVER!

Somewhere in the South American jungle, 2 red Wolves are inspecting their Robo Skull after an encounter with the Gi.joe team. They called in the help of an Astro-Viper who flew from a base nearby with his own backpack.

Tengo un grato recuerdo de esta foto:
En plenas vacaciones de diciembre, en Puebla, se descompuso mi cámara. Así que sólo pude tomar algunas con la cámara de cierta persona a la que le agradezco su generosidad (aunque la cámara no era muy buena). Así que críticas por la calidad de la imagen, no serán aceptadas jajajajaja... El caso es que la pobre Señora de la foto y yo, llegamos a un acuerdo para hacer el retrato... pero me decía que ella creía que las fotografías le robaban el alma a las personas y cada vez que yo iba a disparar, ella volteaba los ojos (tal vez algún tipo de protección).
Por esa razón la quise compartir con ustedes.
Saludos a todos los secuestradores de almas!
