Brickdoctor Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Ooooooooooooooooooh! Lovely work, SI-mocs. The description is hilarious, the colors perfect, the motorization well-executed, and the greebling is special in its own subtle way. Quote
Oky Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I want ten! Where do I order?! Haha, this is an ingenious creation! It looks great, especially with the lights, and the optical illusion with the motion is perfect! The LGMs sure make for some good slave laborers, but if it's automated, what does it need workers for? The AC aliens look nice in LGM uniforms too. Keep up the great work! Quote

The description is hilarious, the colors perfect, the motorization well-executed, and the greebling is special in its own subtle way. Thanks. I admit I had a lot of fun writing the description and belting it out in my best announcer voice as i wrote it I want ten! Where do I order?! Haha, this is an ingenious creation!

The AC aliens look nice in LGM uniforms too. Keep up the great work! Thanks! Did you contact the operators? I said they were standing by! Errr... well the machine is automated. but you need the LGM for maintenance and feeding the machine. (not to mention ewok/wookie powered!) Yeah that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Actually the AC aren't in LGM uniforms... but I did make them all blue to be consistent Quote
brickmack Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Brilliant creation. The colors look great as does the greebling. Looks especially good with the lighting. Kinda disappointed by the lack of a brickbuilt base since that would have allowed for extra stuff there, but it's still great. Lots of LGMs also. The LGMs sure make for some good slave laborers, but if it's automated, what does it need workers for? Maintanence? Quote
Brickdoctor Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks. I admit I had a lot of fun writing the description and belting it out in my best announcer voice as i wrote it But WAIT! There's more! You did forget the part where the announcer compares prices, though. And you should list the price minus one of whatever the smallest coin is. Like, "That's right, you get the Automated Automaton Machine and two Hover Lift Transports, a 7 million Quantloo-value, for just 4,999,999.99! Just pay separate shipping and handling!" Quote

Kinda disappointed by the lack of a brickbuilt base since that would have allowed for extra stuff there, but it's still great. Lots of LGMs also. Thanks! I actually have a version 2 planned out – sadly this does not function well over 8 hours public displays – so I’m going to rework it to be more stable – and going to add lots of improvements, like a bigger base! I have some ideas of what to put on the base – but what would you like to see? But WAIT! There's more! You did forget the part where the announcer compares prices, though.

Just pay separate shipping and handling!" haha it’s been awhile i’m getting rusty with my late night sales pitches! But shipping and handling is the killer – it fell apart the first time I tried to move it Don’t forget you can get it for just 5 easy installments of 999,999.99! Call now! Quote
Hollander Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Wicked! The greebles and overall color scheme is lovely, so is, of course, the creation of robots. The spacy looks is great on this MOC, guess the use of trans-green and dark bley does the trick. Quote

The spacy looks is great on this MOC, guess the use of trans-green and dark bley does the trick. Thanks! I'm glad you liked the look/colour and the greebles. I had a lot of 'space' to work with on this moc, cause I had to hide some of the mechanics, and I actually spent a lot of time trying different amounts of 'greeble' and some colour schemes to be interesting but not take away too much from the action. Good to know it was worth the effort Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Wow, simply a stunning creation SI-mocs! The effective detailing, lighting effects, funny intro/backstory, and overall presentation is definitely outstanding, excellent work! Quote
CP5670 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Beautiful model. The color scheme and lighting give it a perfect sci-fi look and feel. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 But shipping and handling is the killer – it fell apart the first time I tried to move it That's why I don't say what the price of shipping and handling really is. Quote
Ricecracker Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 – sadly this does not function well over 8 hours public displays Not to mention when I try to fix it! Congrats on the MOC Expert Tag, by the way. Quote
dr_spock Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Looks great! What did you use for the reflective surface? Quote

Thanks so much for helping out keeping it going all day... You're an honourary LGM in my books Woh wah? Moc tag? how'd that happen? Looks great! What did you use for the reflective surface? I have a huge black glass table that I play legos on Quote
Lego Pinocchio Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Looks at it and faints wakes back up only to faint again. This is awesome good job Quote
I Scream Clone Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Just amazing, love the movement and construction phases of the robots, works sooooo well. Quote
P4trickvH Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Another freaking and stunning MOC, i really like the Alien Conquest team and how you used the minifigs in the MOC. BIG thumbs UP! Quote
medib Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Great Moc... Simon... We (the wife and I) were impressed to see it up close and personal. I really liked the detailing on the greeblies. I cannot endorse the model because it has blatant cruelty to Ewoks and Wookies....on a pair of "Wheel(s) of Pain" Now I could endorse it if the factory used Gungan (JarJar Binks, in particular) slaves and Timmies (those annoying peskie minifigs in the old Time Cruiser sets).

blueandwhite Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 This is an amazing MOC. It was definitely one of my highlights from Brickfete as you really need to see it up close to appreciate how cool it is. I can't wait for version 2. Quote
AwesomeTaylor Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I saw this in action at BrickFete and it was very impressive! The motion is mesmerizing! Quote
Jedi master Brick Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I love it and the music for the viedo This is great and I am looking forward to version 2 Quote
Nightshroud99 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Amazing1 Love the video you made, music is perfect! Quote
Ogre Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 So cool to see this in operation at Brickfete! Quote
Big Cam Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 You could have posted this MOC and said F U, and I'd still be in love with it, but instead you give it a hilarious story and it's amazing to boot. Fanfreakingtastic, a front page well deserved. Quote
