Sentient Automaton specializing in holographic illusions and melee combat. Phantasm darts in and out of sight, swiftly striking with its burning plasma chains before disappearing behind like a ghost. Phantasm is equipped with two hologram projectors that allow it to create illusory copies of itself or mask the environment in false images. If Phantasm loses control of the environment, it can recall its projectors and retract its chains to make a speedy getaway.
Build Notes: Here's another one! I incorporated Salvo's original weapons (the chains) into a frame with a better suited color palette. The main gimmick for this one was going to be something very different, but I wasn't liking the direction the build was heading. So now we have little projector plates that attach to its back! The frame of this one is probably the least unique of all the Automatons so far (it's basically Salvo with Maestro's legs), but it is very flexible and sturdy. The name for this one (Echis) is a genus of Viper. Still have some ideas for more automatons, so I'll probably keep making them until I run out of colors, parts, or ideas.
Sentient Combat Automaton specializing in long range sniping and marksmanship. Aquila Omen rarely enters the battlefield, instead striking from a safe distance using its Sniper Arm. It's rifle uses special Phase-Tech bullets that can phase through all obstacles between Omen and its target. The scope on Omen's arm can switch between IR and X-ray modes, making it nearly impossible to hid from Omen's piercing shots. Omen is not suited for close combat, instead relying on support from other Vanguard automatons such is Bolide to protect it. Omen is particular calm in its demeanor. It is often seen staring at trees, birds, and flowers with an almost human-like sense of wonder.
Build notes;
Another quick build. This one only took a few hours to put together. I tried scaling down my standard Vanguard frame for Omen's torso and legs, and I am really happy with the result. I feel this one has a bit more personality than some of the others. Since Omen is so small, it poses really well. Also, the clip on the sniper rifle can be removed. And... teal parts! yay! I finally got a chance to use this rare color! What fun. Now, time to get back to those bonkle builds I've been putting off.
Thanks to my brother Automaton Pictures for some help on the editing, and to delgax for his constant inspiration and original "corridor" concept. Complete credit for the idea goes to him. Hope you enjoyed!
Based upon the hilarious scene from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug where Gloin is interrogated about his locket by Legolas.
Hope you enjoyed!

This is another commissioned photo for Forrestfire101. More photos will be posted soon.
I think this shot turned out okay, but I'm pleased with the way that Orcrist looks (It was accomplished by modifying one of these in PS).
Hope you enjoy!
Neurologically Operated Refrigerated Automaton, or N.O.R.A. was meant to be Victor's solution to both preserving his beloved wife, and allowing her to continue to function in the world while he could focus on finding her a cure. Only the years as a human snow cone and constant battles Batman have not been kind to Nora. While technically still alive, her body and mind have suffered extensive tissue damage, and she can no longer control N.O.R.A. Instead Victor has taken over the controls. Now outfitted with a mammoth freeze cannon, hurling pissed off polar bears, and a doomsday failsafe that will trigger a cataclysmic nuclear winter, N.O.R.A. Will become the vehicle of Victor's ultimate revenge against Batman and a world whose heart has grown cold.
My entry for FBTB's Mech Madness 2012
Just trying a few things out with the Unikitty fig in PS.
Sorry for the lack of uplaods lately, I've been on vacation.
Hope you enjoyed!
Edit: Re-added the blue iris to the eyes, I think it looks better this way.
Special thanks to the creator of Nyan Cat, Chris Torres & inspiration by Flickr user Joris Blok. First automaton design to both challenge and amuse myself

Divine Automaton responsible for enforcing the Pantheon’s will. Carries a large gavel and a set of scales.
First part of my Biocup R2 entry.
I originally intended to include the wings, but they didn’t work as well in the final group shot.
Automaton seen in the Church of St Pancras also known as the Cathedral of the Moor. At Widecombe-in-the-Moor. This Dartmoor song is one of the best known folksongs in England and can be found all over the world.

A steampunky, elk-like automaton; I posed myself three objectives for this MOC: convey a rusty aesthetic, combine many different textures, and integrate Bionicle elements (something I've wanted to do for a long time but never had the right project for.)
Based on the last scene of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Hope you enjoyed!

Based on the scene from Return of the King . I'm not entirely satisfied with the result, so I may post a better version later.
Sentient combat automaton built to deal as much damage as it takes. Sentinel's kinetic shields channel the energy of incoming attacks into its two rapid fire cannons, increasing the force behind each blast. While it lacks speed, Sentinel's impressive defensive and offensive capabilities should not be underestimated.
Build notes: I had so much fun building Zelus Maestro that I decided to build another automaton in the same style. I've really been wanting to use those vehicle base pieces for a while, and I'm glad I finally found a spot for them on a build. The horns on the head and shell-like armor plating reminded me of a stag beetle, hence the "lucanus" part of the name. Not intentionally ripping off the Plague Mech series, but we're starting to head that way.
Providing you with the finest in automated security details, FPX Systems is proud to introduce the new generation of Reaper automatons. Build from the ground up with state of the art nanomotor technology, the FPX-6 retains the speed and efficiency of older models, but now with 30% quieter operation. Call your local FPX account manager for details - pre-orders are now available for an August 2047 ship date!
2014 has been an awesome year! While I've posted less photos this year than last year, I've been more pleased with each one. Over the course of this past year, I:
-posted 65 photos, bringing my total count to over 300!
-almost reached 900 followers, at 871 currently
-built 3 MOCs, with a few others in the works
-received my first photo commission, from forrestfire101
-attended BFVA
-had 16 photos reach 99+ favorites
-enjoyed an incredible year with the awesome community here on Flickr!
This year, I started at high school, so I've had less time to devote towards LEGO. I'll still try to build, photograph, and post as much as possible!
Thanks to all of you for making this year as fantastic as it has been! Here's to an even better year in 2015!

Nikola Tesla's latest incredible invention is a half electrical, half mechanical automaton whose purpose is to work into dangerous places instead of men.

Forgotten City (212,71,103) - JD Mechanical Toy Factory
Builder: Jenne Dibou.
A once great city where the prosperous residents were served by the miraculous mechanical automatons. The people have long since disappeared, but the automatons remained and still take care of the crumbling stone walls, abandoned halls and rusty fences.
Yet another backlit corridor shot. I just love the way they look! Thanks to delgax for the inspiration and original idea and Timeless Photography2 for letting me borrow his Boba Fett minifig. I liked both the green version and the blue version, so I decided to upload them both! Which version do you like more?

It is the Age of Steam. The Worlds Resources are dominated by Queen Victorianas' Empire and their main rival Tsar Nikolais' Muscovy.
Here we have three "Steam Barons", these are some of the worlds most rich and powerful men. Acting as diplomats and emissaries they negotiate treaties and trade between the super powers when the factions are not at war!
Fellows are war veterans, part human, part automaton, created using the latest technology to repair otherwise fatal wounds, sustained whilst battling for their countries. Depending on the nature of their wound, they are assigned specific roles in households by wealthy Patrons. Some are bodyguards, while others with more serious injuries such as head trauma, are no more than butlers.
