In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
This thread just keeps producing amazing items. Makes my storm chaser look like crap, but I am fine with that. Love everything in here. Great Job everyone! Keep it coming.

Same reason as last time unfortunately, the set isn't available here.
But in other news, a store here has a buy one get one half price. I really feel like some lego haha!
Been buying some mini figs. My sister went to a store yesterday and found one still selling series 3-5. I still see many stores with 6-8.

lol, that is a cool micro army you have there
A bit late and not terribly original compared to some of the other entries (Boombox @_@) but I present you the Royal Cyclopian Society's Mark III Walking Device. Ideal for wandering the world, crushing uninvited visitors with its twin machine guns and reciting heartwarming poetry.
(quoted for size)
Alright I may have cheated a bit by adding a neat minifig. Still it was fun as hell and not all that bad for my first MOC in 12 years.

thanks for zeroing my chance of winning this contest
You're welcome.
I probably should add (since the picture quality isn't the greatest) that the orange/black thing in the cockpit is meant to be the controls. Meant to kinda resemble the steering column in Goa'uld (Stargate) Cargo Ships.

Michaelangelo: "Oooh Nooo!!! It's the Turtle Terrorship!"

I really like a ton of these creations that you all have made and I really had fun creating this Turtle Terrorship as well as captioning each pic!

Nice work with the Turtle Terrorship!
My favorite part is that it transforms into a turtle from the ship form.

Lots of awesome entry's so far, glad I finally managed to nab the set to join the rest of you. I had an idea what I wanted to try and build I wasn't sure if it would work, but it sorta did.
I present Master Chief's helmet:

I'm gonna join in on the give away portion of this contest, and contribute these two poly bags:
MTT!
and,
Winzar!
These will ship from the U.S., though if it costs more than 25 bucks to ship to another country, I may have to get permission from the wife... But if it's anywhere in US or Canada, I would imagine there would be no cost-prohibitive dynamic. I hope you guys across the globe can understand.

Does voting begin Friday?
i like more the airship mode, it is proportionate and well executed, the turtle is a plus as when you see a vehicle and you say: "Hey that kawasaki really looks like a panther!"
something like this:
EDIT: It seems that the pictures does not work, I will try to understand why and fix it
EDIT2: Now it should work...
My build, pretty happy with it. Not as happy about the pictures. My mobile camera is not that good
Started with an idea that I could do a live axle from the legs of the robot. So wanted to build a vehicle around that. Just went with the flow and suddenly I was building a death race car
The build was fun, especially when I had problem to finish the rear end due to lack of parts.
The whole car
The rear end with shield
Close up on driver with weapons around him
Spare parts and showing the live axle, I now notice that I have the back pack from the minifig in the spare part mixture (the minifig was taken from the cottage I had build before). I hope that is not seen as cheating
One last picture on the car and spare parts.
I had really fun joining this MOC competition, and I hope there will be more of them in the future
