Posted June 11, 20168 yr Tachikoma-style, they share the same structure & they open the same way. https://www.flickr.com/photos/137434519@N08/albums They were a good use for this new part:
June 12, 20168 yr Author Thanks What does that new part come in? I was planning RE those, until I saw that pic... Those new 'mighty micros' for kids. They can be done using old 2x2 parts, but with 2x4 it's kinda more solid & the structure is a little different.
June 13, 20168 yr These are great! I really like how they open, and the first design is definitely my favorite!
June 13, 20168 yr Author I've tried making one using the pullback motor generally used to lift hooks in choppers btw. I've already used that motor to close the cockpit in this one, and it works well: Sadly that motor winds up too fast, thus requires a wormgear & the design was getting too bulky. I wish Lego had a wind-up motor like in those Zoïds (when they were motorized).
June 15, 20168 yr They look strange and exotic, yet at the same time quite familiar too. I love their designs - hats off for this amazing feat!

July 1, 20168 yr I like how the vehicles look cute, but at the same time tough. They remind me of mechanized VW Beetles.
July 1, 20168 yr Those are spectacular. I like the color schemes as well as the unique design aspects of the entire build.
