Based around some old concept art that I can't really seem to find anymore. :P I figured the MOC was good enough nonetheless to share without the original concept art.
So yeah it races and swooshes then in the mean time is has some decals all over. Hope you guys like it.
An industrial mech designed in 2078. In the earlier part of the decade, many Asian countries were in a boom for developing mobile humanoid manned weapons, as these proved very effective in the earlier 2060s global oil crisis. The level of artificial intelligence technology was also reaching a boom in the region, so the Seriga corporation based in Japan began development on an unmanned mobile humanoid weapon, later known as the "Serigant". This move was condemned by most western countries of the UN, but the government of Japan did not punish the company's actions and allowed development to continue.
Several years later, the Serigant prototype artificial intelligence mechanical humanoid weapon was completed for testing in military operations. The personality of its AI is based off "u1", a popular virtual idol voiced by a singing synthesizer (Vocaloid). Not much is known about the mech's capabilities, and it has only been shown in public videos to be able to walk, run, and sing.
Prototype of a big sedan with a rear-mounted air-cooled flat-six two litre engine delivering 73 kW. It must have sounded like a Porsche 911. This car was not designed for the German market, but to be exported to the USA. It never made it beyond prototype status.

One of four WWII-era Soviet weapons.
It can be seen at BrickFair Alabama (Jan 13-15), at the GI Brick and Brickmania tables. They are NOT for sale, and will NOT be given away there.
It is currently ONLY A PROTOTYPE, but I MAY include it as a special item in an upcoming WWII-themed BrickArms pack.
25089 comes to the rescue of 50036 Victorious after it sat down between Birmingham International and Coventry.. The hoover was removed at Coventry and I assume the 25 took the train forward. My spotting book will record the date but it was around 1979.
ADB975813 dumped in the yard at Derby Works in the snow on 15th February 1986. The former prototype HST power car No. W43001 was withdrawn in November 1976 and was subsequently used by the Railway Technical Centre at Derby as a dead load vehicle, numbered 'ADB975813'. After being transferred to the RTC Departmental fleet and renumbered 975812 & 975813, the Prototype HST power cars (formerly 41001/43000 & 41002/43001) were used in APT test trains, and production series HST development. Both power cars were withdrawn from departmental use in 1983 and disposal of W43001 took place at C.F. Booth in Rotherham during December 1990, although W43000 was saved for preservation.

Showcasing the grippability of the front of the JFSR
Truly a piece of heavy scifi weaponry, the JFSR wasn't inspired by any one item in particular; rather, it's Will's own take a Warhammer 40K-style bulky plasma weapon
These are prototypes - not production.
They will be shown at BrickCon 2011, and included in the Castle Contributors Pack
A prototype part courtesy of Black Six and the BZP staff, given as a prize for the Hummaera being a finalist in BBC Contest #65.
I'm quite excited to use this, as the normal versions only came in a few drab colors.
The Blériot 125 made its debut at the 1930 Paris Salon de l’Aéronautique, long after Blériot gave up flying and left the company largely to others. Its monoplane 96.4-ft. span was wedged between other craft, large and small, in the vast hall. But no other aeroplane was so innovative.
:)
The raygun is trans blue, with some trans green swirled into the handle.
All of the Plasma Blades are V2s
Not For Trade, Unless You Have An ARC ;-D
This vehicle was the prototype of the Bristol VR chassis and was exhibited at the Commercial Motor Show of 1966. Its Gardner LX engine was mounted longitudinally on the offside, behind the rear axle ...making it a VRL rather than VRT (for transverse). It was first demonstrated to the Scottish Bus Group and entered the fleet of Central SMT. In 1971 it passed to the Bristol Omnibus Co. where I worked on it as a conductor once or twice. It proved unpopular and troublesome and in 1973 was snapped up by the well known Essex bus and coach operator Osborne of Tollesbury.
To encourage bus operators to convert their fleets to one-man ...oh, all right... one-person operation, the government instituted a grant system whereby it would pay half the cost of new vehicles provided they were equipped for OPO. Specifications were laid down for the types of vehicle that would qualify. Those with longitudinal engines did not and henceforward the transverse-engined double-decker (and underfloor-engined single-decker) became standard throughout the industry. The VR had to follow suit and the only production VRLs were those in the W. C. Standerwick fleet which operated the express coach service from London to Lancashire.
The bus is seen on Osborne's premises on Saturday 29th March 1980. It retains its Scottish Bus Group destination screen.
AMTK 108 (VI Heritage Scheme) leads NS 050 south by Glenburn with the 4th Prototype Acela bound for Philadelphia for testing.
Burlington Northern's Train No. 3 grinds uphill at the Deer Park grade crossing with a train of priority intermodal en route from Chicago to South Seattle.
NAPM member T.J. Van Haag used an exposure of 1.3 seconds to capture the feel of this hotshot train in motion. The locomotive, an EMD GP50, is an Athearn Genesis model.

Scavrat prototype build notes:
Building lego mechs at this scale is tough, particularly hip joints. You can’t use prefabbed single joints due to the weight, and there isn’t enough room for the larger technic weight bearing turntables and pistons (At least not that I’ve been able to squeeze in).
To date, I have three lower torso/hip mount designs:
1a: Just hip abduction (leg moving away from midline of body, which is what you typically see on mech builds). Strong and simple. Utilizes 3x bricks w/ rotation joint (48171) positioned horizontally on both sides of the torso, which slot into rotation joint discs (44224/44225). Used on the Seeker, Canticle, and Matriarch.
1b: Just lateral rotation (leg turns inward and outward, more realistic for changing direction). Strong and simple. Similar to 1a, uses the 48170 brick variant in a vertical position. Used on the Seraph mech.
2: Both abduction and lateral rotation. This was my dream, a system that can weight bear while allowing full hip articulations for realistic movement. More complicated and less friction overall. For this design, I use double technic axle and pin connectors (53586) extending from the torso, which connect to axle balls mounted onto rotation joint discs. Used on the Turibulum, Arrow, and Scavrat mechs.
Most of my upper torsos weigh in around 300-400g (< 1 lb), which is fine on any of the lower torso variants. But the Prototype upper weighed in at a whopping 700ish grams (~1.5 lbs), and is also physically larger than the other torsos, which makes the mech a bit of a tippy affair. Certainly not as much fun, nor as practical for posing and shooting.
So this leaves me with a few choices. Either I can try and come up with a stronger, yet still fully articulated hip design. I can build smaller, which is no fun. Or I can try my hand at some technic framing to achieve lighter upper torsos. I’ve always been a brick guy, so technic frames are out of my comfort zones.
Would love feedback on this one.
NASA Government Invention of the Year!
If you ever visit NASA’s Johnson Space Center and get to meet the Robonaut 2 prototype, be sure to shake the robot’s hand, since it can do that, and congratulate it. The actual Robonaut 2 (R2), the first humanoid robot in space, was recently selected as the NASA Government Invention of the Year for 2014. While R2 resides aboard the International Space Station, many of the technologies developed for R2 are being adapted for use on Earth, helping to give it the distinction of an outstanding government invention.
R2 is recognized as an invention that exemplifies one of NASA’s missions: to transfer advanced technology to U.S. industry. The robot was chosen from among many other valuable innovations by the NASA Invention and Contributions Board, NASA General Counsel and the NASA Administrator, Charlie Bolden. These entities evaluated R2 in the following areas: Aerospace Significance, Industry Significance, Humanitarian Significance, Technology Readiness Level, NASA Use, Industry Use and Creativity.

An exhibit at the British Motor Museum.
A prototype based on the Rover 75 and revealed in November 2003. It was never produced as a production model.
Car: MG RDX60 prototype.
Engine: 2497cc V6.
Date taken: 16th April 2024.
The four prototype Routemasters came together for a gathering outside the iconic Earls Court Exhibition centre before its demolished. From left to right, RM1, SLT 56, RM2, SLT 57, RML3, SLT 58 and CRL4 SLT 59.
Early prototypes for set 8487. New parts here were made with a 3D-printer, prints are low-quality inkjet stickers, and most parts are spraypainted. Sarge has two brackets cut to approximate a new bracket part. My favorite part is the curved slopes in aqua, which were never released without studs :)
