Rampax is from a series of six 5" plastic robots made by CGGC in Italy. They were sold in kit form and had to be assembled. I don’t know when they were first produced, but I was given the individually boxed Rampax in 1985.
The six robots were not completely different, but shared components such as arms, legs and feet. These pieces were all interchangeable and it seems that some were randomly packed out, so the makeup of specific robots was inconsistent. Each robot had two distinct, spring launched weapons. The long weapon for the bent right arm protruded from the elbow and hooked in place; pushing up on the hook launched the weapon. The left arm had a mechanism in the shoulder that held the weapon in place while the arm was down, but launched the devise when the arm was raised.
The robots were also distributed in France by a company named Remus, which sold them in two sets of three. The French packaging was quite different from the Italian boxes that I’ve seen, but the plastic parts were still molded in Italy. Again, I have no idea of the original time line for these, but I obtained an incomplete set in 1991.
Five of the robots - Drakis, Torang, Fergus, Argon and Rampax - kept their names for both Italian and French issues. The sixth one, originally Satan in Italy, was renamed Mirox in France. I guess that the French didn’t want kids playing with the devil.
To end it all, here is a smattering of leftover pictures. There are still more robots though, as apparently we are moving into Transformers Week next...
Milo named this one for me. Same size as the 'guardian' bot from way back. There are bits from previous builds in there, some refinements and some new bits.
the Phillipine lego Users group (Phlug) is having a event called mech wars where factions battle it out for supremacy.but i cant go in the event cuz i live in the south and majority of the members lived in the northern part of our country so im just posting it here
From the Hayao Miyazaki movie "Castle in the Sky".
So this is probably my largest figure to-date! It uses insane amounts of Dark Orange bricks, and getting the contours and detailing right was quite a challenge given the fairly limited range of brick types available in this color. The outstretched arm is held together using a devious system of hinges at the back. The design and coloring of the faceplate was pretty hard to get right - going through 4 iterations in fact. For those not familiar with the movie, the lime green on the shoulder represents moss growth (the robot is meant to be old and rusting). The figure was built to miniland scale, as shown by the characters that appear in the other images.

This robot was a bit creepy because it always turned its head in the direction someones face was. It felt much more personal by trying to advertise to you by looking with it's cute big eyes into your from down there.

In the movie, Emmet covers himself in tinfoil to try and blend in with the Robots. Not his best look, he looks quite distressed I think!
I've been fooling around with Ai lately. It's an odd form of art because I never touched paint to canvas. Technically the idea is mine but the images are public domain, at least for now. But then again Warhol and Picasso both told others what they wanted and the art was "made" for them, in many ways this is no different I guess.
