EDIT: Oops, forgot the title tag: [M - C06] Location: C06 Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle, Spying Claypole, be careful with that MANTIS™ Spyglass©, it wasn’t cheap! Yes sir, but I can see them coming! Excellent! Magwitch, have you finished setting the explosives? Almost, sir… Well, hurry along now, they’re coming. Done, sir! Get over here then, chop chop! Claypole, blow the charges on my command. Not yet… not yet…now! What the blazes?? I say, Mr Snodgrass, what’s all the commotion? An explosion right in front of us Lord Nupkins! I recommend we disembark and make sure there’s no damage. Right then men, Lady Nupkins and I shall stay here while you inspect the landship for signs of damage. Oh, that won’t be necessary gentlemen. Who the devil are you? The name’s Big Sal. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, but I’m afraid I’ll be needing this fine landship of yours. He means to rob us! OH. MY. Now look here- You mistake me, my lord. A gentleman such as myself would never stoop to such degenerate behaviour. However, I’m afraid the same can’t be said of my… associates here. GOOD HEAVENS. Now listen, you’re upsetting Lady Nupkins! This has gone far enough! Mr Weller, take care of these miscreants! RIGHT AWAY SIR. Perhaps it would be best if you called your man off, Lord Nupkins. I regret that my associates have been known to resort to rather ungentlemanly conduct. Nonsense! Carry on Mr Weller! ERK. Lady Nupkins! Crikey! Gadzooks! By Jove! Well gentlemen, I did warn you. Now, we’ll be taking the landship regardless, but perhaps you’ll be so kind as to reveal the location of your base? Never! That’s unfortunate. My associates are not patient men. I’d hate for anyone to get hurt… Fine! The base is five leagues from here, directly northwest. Excellent! I bid you good day gentlemen! Thanks for reading! C&C welcome, and some more pics in the spoiler.

Location: E01 Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle ...and the mithril solution works? Yes, perfectly. Good. Then let's put it into action. Our spies have located a processing plant for the fruit. I'm sending you to infiltrate it and use the mithril solution to turn the fruit there back to the normal fattening kind. It should only take a few batches before word gets around that the diet products don't work any more. Wait, you want me to infiltrate the plant? Me, personally? Yes. Did you get the spy suit I sent? Yes, but- It's one of the new ones with persuadomatic technology. Since you promised us it would work, you should have no qualms about testing it out in the field. I guess... but I really don't have time to be infiltrating bases! Make time. Long out. Later... Are you sure these are the right barrels? Yeah, we had a guy scope out their supply lines and this is how they transport water. The wood just seems a bit... out of place. What do you think they should be made of? Bricks? Do you realise how heavy that would be? Uh... Anyway, let's go over the plan one more time. You two will hide in these barrels with the mithril solution, while I pretend to be an Octan driver whose truck got stolen. When the next truck comes along we'll hitch a lift right into the plant. I'm wearing a wire so you'll be able to hear what I'm saying. Once we're in, and the coast is clear, I'll say the first code word, which is 'Octan'. That means you should pass the mithril solution out to me. Then... We burst out and blow the place up! YEAH! What?? No! Then you stay in the barrels until I finish sabotaging the fruit and drive us out of there. You'll only need to come out shooting if something goes wrong and I say the second code word, which is 'Kawashita.' Got it? Yeah... I guess... Good. Quick, I hear something coming, get in the barrels. Y'know, this seems like a waste of our skills. A waste of your skills? Try being a highly trained scientist on a spying mission! Now shut up! Hello down there. Need a hand? I sure do, fellow employee! Don't suppose you could give me and this water a lift to the plant? No problemo, I'm headed there anyway, and I've got room for two more barrels. What an amazing coincidence! Uh, yeah... amazing! So they ambushed you and made off with your truck, eh? I knew this would happen when corporate decided to let M.A.N.T.I.S. operate on this planet. I said at the time it was crazy! Still, I hear we have a new CEO, so maybe we'll finally get some sensible leadership. Managed to squeeze in there, fella? Just about... Alright, let's get this show on the road! To be continued! Thanks for reading I really hate taking photos at night, but they'll have to do since I'm busy all weekend. C&C welcome, especially on the truck. A bunch more pics of it in the spoiler.

Location: E01-Donwar Tags: Land Vehicle, Vehicle Job: Driver Start Log: Got to drive one of my favorite MANTIS vehicles so far this week: the MW-6, a rugged 6 wheeled loader that also features a handy dual cannon turret. Plus it has articulation between each module, which makes it easy to maneuver: Thanks for looking, this vehicle was quite fun to build, and play with

Tags: Vehicle (pick one, I really don't care either way. ), Science Location: H09 IMG_20151018_174252 by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr "Log date 454, this is Dr. Danielle Long. The tropic regions of Planet Wastyria in Sector H09 are host to the greatest biodiversity on this otherwise frigid planet. Here temperatures rarely sink below 0 degrees Celsius, allowing for a myriad of temperature sensitive creatures to thrive. I have stumbled upon an organism roughly analogous to earth coral here. Presently I am utilizing an Aquatic Hardsuit to get a closer look at this biome."

Dr. Long is finally doing some innocent Scientific research. She finds out that Kodan has a time machine later! I'd like as much feedback (be harsh! I can take it!) on the coral as I possibly can, as a coral reef not too dissimilar to this will feature as part of a contest entry for something else... ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Location: D10 Tags: Science, Vehicle, Land Vehicle Well, it wasn’t me who forgot to charge the batteries! Yes it was! I specifically remember you saying “I’m going to charge the batteries”. What?! I definitely remember telling you to charge them! You don’t get to tell me to do anything! Ah, so you admit that I did tell you to do it! No, I’m just saying… Will you two please shut up. We're stuck here until they rescue us, so just be quiet. … … … … This is all your fault. Is not. Is too! Shut up! … … … … Well, this whole experiment was a waste of time anyway. We drilled for hours and didn’t find any awesomnium. Might have found some if someone had charged the batteries. Someone like you? When they find us, you two are both walking back. But we’re on an asteroid… Yes. … … Just a quick one this week! Thanks for reading, C&C welcome

Location: D08 Angornal Tags: Vehicle, Driver, Exploration While pandas of a different kind had been spotted on Arium Major, Ender tested out the new Red Panda mech the boys in the Kawashita lab on Angornal had cooked up. It came equipped with all the tools needed to cut through the forests found on many of the islands on the planet. Which was perfect since Ender had also been tasked with exploring one of the chains of islands near the main contingent of Kawashita colonists. And while the alien activity on the plant was said to be sparse, it never hurt to be packing a little fire-power. All in all, Ender felt the mech was ready for use on any suitable frontier.

Location: C10 - Marden. Tags: MANTIS, Science, Vehicle "Log 2.345. I brought Malcolm with med to Marden to improve the rate of terraforming. As annoying as that old bastard might be he is still a good sparring partner when it comes to certain fields." "Have you prepared the beacons properly now you smug insectoid severed membrane of a....." "Yes it's prepared, I sure hope you know what you are doing..." "Just order the satellite to commence the operation and we'll be good to go!" "Yes I've entered the command in now we better move away..." "Initial waves doing impact now, calibrating frequences..." "A bit tricky not to melt the rocky surface to much, we have to secure the main body of water and prevent it from vaporize..." "That's it! It's pooling, it's seems to be working! Now for the critical part..." "Kinetic amplifiers online, spores at the target! Amplifying growth rate..." "Inserting angiosperms to the mix..." "And voila! A terraformed Eco-system to go!

Location: C10 - Marden Tags: Vehicle, Spaceship, Land Vehicle Finally, more work! We were picked up by the Oruvus and transported to the frozen world of Marden.... Our mission: search for evidence of Biomass near a formation called "The Icy Mountain..." Any samples we can collect are to be loaded onto a MANTIS PE-56 "Portable Elevator" that has landed nearby. Our new crewman (crewplant?) "Verdi" and I were to meet a "Captain Leeroy Jenkins" not far from our landing site... An RS-5 and a FC-2g Speeder were perfect for the environment...though Verdi's FC-2g had a slight engine problem... I couldn't wait to use my new "Icebreaker 4000" chainsaw... But, before I could get cutting, Captain Jenkins Yelled, "You don't need that...Looky here what I have!" It was a MANTIS Auto Blocker.....a device that can cut, extract and transport perfect blocks of pretty much any substance... Verdi and the Portable Elevator's crewman got busy loading up the PE return module. Captain Jenkins secured the cargo door and initiated the launch sequence... We headed back to our speeders as Capt. Jenkins secured the lander platform.... That's when I heard it...a voice yelling, "LEEROY JENKINS!!" It was an Octan Corp. Sniper! Before I could turn around, Jenkins was in his sights... I was too late....and in the confusion, the Sniper got away.... Then Verdi pointed out (in his [her?] vegtabley voice), "Hey, at least you got a new space suit.." He (She?) was right.....It was a good day after all! ============================================================================================ Extra Images.....I dunno how to do that "Spoiler" thing yet....so here they are...

Location: C10 Tags: Science, Vehicle, Land Vehicle Stop here Schmidt! Those are the plants we're after, I'm sure of it! Yes sir! Don't mind the birds. Shoo! These are the ones! I'll start adding them to the laser, you go pick some more. Just one more pair Schmidt! Excellent. Yes sir! But, uh, what is it? What?? I explained this to you on the way! This is the next generation of laser technology: Legume-Amplified Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Or, as I like to call it, the Laser Bean! Get it? Uh, yes sir? *Sigh* Come help me set up the target so we can test it. Here we go, this pineapple I brought will be the perfect target. Uh, it looks familiar somehow sir... did you sculpt the leaves or something? Nonsense! I don't know what you're talking about... Now, Schmidt, prepare to witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational... HEY! GET AWAY FROM THERE! SHOO! Damn things have eaten half the beans! Still, let's go ahead and see if it works. Ready Schmidt? Yes sir! FIRE! HAHA! DIE LONG! What was that sir? Uh, I said, 'that didn't take long'. But we need more beans to make this a viable weapon. Let's pick some more and take it to full... HEY! Don't worry sir, I'll get them! No, Schimdt, wait! FOR SCIENCE! YOU IDIOT! Oh no! Damn it Schmidt! You're walking home! Thanks for reading! C&C welcome!

Location: B06 Sorn Tags: Vehicle, Driver, Exploration Ender had been assigned to Sorn and tasked with the construction of an underwater base. He was in the process of leveling out the seabed when something shiny came into view. He had stumbled across a crystal forest! Not wanting to destroy such a beautiful creation of nature, Ender called in to HQ to see if the underwater base could be placed elsewhere.

Location: Secret research facility on C10 - Marden. "Man I hate driving on these endless ice-wastes..." *static on radio* "Sergeant, what's the status on my delivery?" "Good sir I'll be there soon..." "Good my special guest has almost arrived... Over and out!" "Log 2.32. Our efforts to terraform this planet through extensive cultivation of algae and cyano bacteria is under way. Soon this planet will be a heaven for our corporation!" Another look at the base:

Location: Mynderis - A04 Mission: Detection of pockets of gas and terraforming through establishment of viable ecosystems. "Log 2.3. 0930 hrs. We have landed safely on Mynderis and I'm testing my new creation: the B.E.G.P. ; the Biologically Enhanced Gas-searching Plant. It is modified to withstand extreme temperatures and drought. The enhanced vacoules contains hydrogen and makes the plant light and it can propel itself cushioned on its front mandibles. Testing indicates that it can identify even small pockets of natural gas within a radius of a mile." "Log. 2.4. 11.00 hrs. While the B.E.G.P. is searching for viable sources of gas I have landed the E.T.P. The Ecosystem Transport Platform has been developed to transport delicate ecosystems that due to microbial mutualistic relations can't be isolated in transportation. The platform is designed to work on all terrains and has a defense-system inspired from the terran anthropods: the scorpions. It's is well suited to give MANTIS a foothold on this hostile planet." Note: Short on time and bricks, had to skip the terrain this time but I had fun!

So I thought it would be fun to attempt a small vehicle, resulting in this quad bike. During the build it quite quickly became painstakingly clear, that achieving good looking brick-built mudguards in such a small scale is no easy feat, and the end result is, hmm, satisfactory at best. Though otherwise I'm quite pleased with the result, especially the use of some technic-parts in the "suspension" gave it a nice off-roady look.

As you may have guessed by now, this is my first entry for the Rebrick Makuta Contest. My Makuta build itself was feeling a little "typical" with its small Toa size, simple build, and typical Makuta colors. To rectify this though, I had the vision of giving Makuta a vehicle of some sort, and he ended up with a Chariot that cobbled together a multitude of G1 and Technic pieces. Including a few G1 pieces alongside the CCBS parts was one of my building goals. I also built my first proper photo set up for the contest to get proper pictures. Unfortunately even then my build was to big to get a horizontal angled shot with a proper full white backdrop... I am considering a few more entries for the contest, but I fear that going bigger will just ruin my chance to use the photo booth I just barely built! Yes as I said before, my Makuta is actually just Toa sized, sharing a lot with the 2015 Toa. I like his look, but he doesn't seem as 'flashy' as some of the other contest entries. His reserved design though was intentionally done though to make him look like a "What Could have Been" Makuta retail set. Can you spot the G1 pieces? I am digging the ease of posebility in the smaller figure though! Try doing this with your monster sized titan! While the Skullie is a little cliche, I am in love with the greebled garbled look of the chariot. The Old G1 pieces really help create an 'underworld' look that I don't know if it could be achieved as easily with CCBS. For the most part this MOC is actually a combiner model, using pieces from Mask Maker vs. Skull Grinder, Umarak the Hunter, Onua Master of Earth, Pohatu Master of Stone, Skull Warrior, and the classic Vezon and Fenrahk. The wheels and plates on the chariot come from a Technic Off Road Crawler, and the G1 Manas set. You might notice I am using a hidden leg to support the chariot rather than place pressure on the wheels. The wheels can hold the model, but for static display I prefer to use the 'kickstand' leg. The chariot also has some spots to mount G2 masks on it, as if Makuta is hauling away the masks of his victims... I hope you enjoyed my entry. I am highly considering a few more Makuta builds so time will tell if I end up having quite the 'Makuta Club' to enter this contest! Thanks for looking!

Mission: Procession Tags: Kawashita, Hyreal C-06, Aboard the "Honor", the halls and hangars are lined with Kawashita personnel who stand silent as the casket carrying their CEO travels to its final destination. As it moves through the halls every fig stands in salute to a fallen comrade, leader and family fig. Each fig silently thinks their own thoughts and wonders what the future of the corporation will be. Can the new CEO handle the enormous responsibility cast upon him? As it nears the airlock, which will allow the casket to cast off into deep space, the last fig in line is the new CEO, Col. Brik One final pause, and a speech. "May Raven travel the universe in the place she now resides. Be it a eternal life beyond what we know or in our memories." And she is gone. Sir, may I have a word? Now is not the appropriate time, Doctor. But...well, your legs sir, I have a solution, you can walk again. I'm listening. END

Mission: Redshirts Assemble Tags: Kawashita, Sorn, Mech, Vehicle Redshirts, you have been assembled because our brave CEO, Raven, is dead. The information has spread across the galaxy and all the corporations vying for power. Mantis, Octan....and Kawashita. Kawashita is broken right now. As #2 I am taking the roll of CEO today. This news may shock many employees of our corporation and cause some to have a pause. Right now the "Honor" is investigating the death of Raven, we will do the same but from a different angle. We cannot have all operatives investigating one detail at the same time. Each Redshirt assembled here will be now armed, with KOS orders given as I see fit. Each Redshirt will have a MFZ-Mk3 assisting with operations. As you can all see, one of them has been modified to allow a fig to operate it. Due to my previous injuries this is the only way I can move freely, lead, and fight. I will not lead from the rear, at a desk, I will lead from the front like Raven did. The coming weeks will be hard. Initial investigations indicate Mantis is involved with Ravens death. Specifically, Spacer Steve. He is smart, he is cunning, and he obviously has no problem with killing executives. We need to proceed with caution going forward. Unfortunately , one of my first acts as CEO will be contacting her family to tell them this horrible news......then preparing and overseeing the funeral proceedings next week for Raven. Now....go seek the factswe need so we can act with Honor, Glory, for Kawashita....for Raven. END..Judging should be considered a minifig on a plate, the mechs are copies from a previous build. I would have like to have done more this week but this holiday weekend in the States, and my RL obligations in summer keep me from doing something proper. I do plan a funeral MOC next week. I also took some bonus shots of where ALL my Kawashita and other Lego Space MOCs are keep, enjoy This is a very large base I am working on, it will have four entrances, the tower will go up, then have landing decks shooting out to the pillars going up. Need lots of blue and white since I want to keep my classic space style I enjoy.

Hello, Eurobricks. I'm finally posting my first MOC, so sorry if it has minor issues. But hope you enjoy! In the future of 2075, on distant colonized planets, satellite warfare has increased greatly. This means that in order to be victorious in most major battles, vehicle such as the Anti Satellite Laser Carrier must be used take out even the toughest enemy satellites from the ground. These 6 wheel drive trucks carry cannons to different satellite attack zones and launch their huge lasers. Here you can see inside the cab.

Location: B06, Sorn Tags: Water Vehicle, Vehicle, Job: Driver Start Log: Stationed on Sorn to patrol the waters, I got to use a MANTIS ski-boat which is quite a fun ride! Plenty of speed and maneuverability, plus some serious firepower. I was messing around with the black ski parts and liked how they looked in a diamond shape, so decided to use them as skis for the boat. The windshield opens to allow access to the cab, and the propeller spins. The water design is made using only 2×2 round plates. Comments and suggestions welcome

Hi everyone, I have finished my Space Police III layout last weekend. The built started during the holidays (Christmas) and after a few months and a few bricklink orders it is finally finished. When I took some pictures, I used a black cloth to erase the cluttered background. The layout contains an old hangar from the M-Tron. Now it is used by the Black Hole Gang for criminal activities. The Space Police is invading the hangar during a arms deal between the Black Hole Gang and Blacktron Future Generation. In the layout there is a police station. In the police station is a meeting with Space Police from other systems (S.P. I & II) and with the Unitron to discuss the presence of the Blacktron II on the planet. Across the street there is a cafe. In the Cafe is a band playing. The layout contains several vehicles and references to other themes. Here is an overview of the layout. Here is another view at the overpass and landing platform. Here is the link to the flickr album. For more pictures of the vehicles, hangar and cafe. Feedback and questions are welcome. Thank you for watching. Sander
