Lego should totally hire this MOCer

What an absolutely incredible model. 

Not only does it show off how extremely powerful the inclusion of rounded edge plates was, the guy excels at building dense structures, sculpting shapes, ensuring sturdiness, has a great eye for color themes and guess what - also seamlessly incorporates long-discontinued parts to great effect in the form of the small Insectoid legs discontinued all the way back in 2004 or the 2463 wedged slopes. Perhaps there are even more old parts used here, but I didn't catch them. Such ways of combining most up-to-date building techniques, unbound creativity and incorporation of old pieces are a combination that I'd judge to be the pinnacle of Lego System building.

This build is great. I remember playing Super R-type on the snes, this build takes me way back again!

You can buy the parts and build it via this website (not real LEGO though): https://bricknut.com/moc/c4369b35
