I realise I probably haven't posted my dragon before

also Ii realised while taking these pictures that I accidentally made it able to make expressions

(he is very shocked)

this dragon is a custom build I made with the pieces of two of the 31161 creator 3-in-1 dragon set

(I'm posting about it now bc I plan on redoing it while combining it with the creator 3-in-1 dinosaur set)

Okay. Look. This post is probably only going to be for me, but I found a cache of old photos of a LEGO robut game I had played with my friend, that I then went on to photoshop with ridiculous SFX to try and make everything look cool, and my heart was so happy to remember this that I kinda cried. Anyway, friends are cool, LEGO is cool, robuts are cool, playing is cool. Every time I get to participate in any of those things is a blessing. Even when I lose. Which I did. Big time.

Hey! I remember those photos from the Mobile Frame Hangar forum!

Good to see you here!

It’s finished! I’ve had an idea to make a sort of “aircraft identification” poster that the Mars Mission crew would use to identify attacking Crystalien ships. Names for most of these were created by @nicholas-anderson as you can see in the Mars Mission Recap video here.

I unfortunately got all the way through this before realizing I had accidentally forgot to include the ETX Alien Infiltrator (AKA the “Bolo” by Nick’s nicknames). Maybe I’ll include it in a second version with my own mocs for scale at a later time.

Third take at the Astro Fighter. Finally feels close to how I actually wanted it to look, which is still small but closer to that tableau with the cross-sectioning from lego magazine:

Crystalien Dropship, aka the "Labrys" Dropship

Heavily inspired by the Lego Battles Alien "transport ship" unit, which is in reality just the back half of the ETX Alien mothership without the gun turrets. This ship is my attempt to spruce up the concept and make it a bit more unique, and it's one I've wanted to make for a long time.

For some time now I’ve been sort of building an eclectic assortment of Lego Mars Mission headcanons that would marry Life on Mars and Mars Mission in a tasteful and entertaining way. After finally getting a lot of it written down (while also throwing in some details from Lego Battles) I finally feel like it’s good to go!

Some popular Lego commentators have talked in the past about the similarities of Life on Mars and Mars Mission. The comparison is apt, not just for the shared setting. Both have relatively similar alien creatures running about in advanced floating technology powered by seemingly native energy rocks. But one thing a lot of these commentators seem hung up on is the fact that if you were to view the two themes as a single contiguous story, there are some frightening implications regarding the Martians and their energy crystals. Namely, their absence in Mars Mission leaves a haunting sense that this confict to save Earth with clean, strip mined martian rocks is being done over the site of a Martian genocide, either at the hands of the Crystaliens who seem to need the crystals just as badly, or at the hands of the oddly heavily armed human “explorers” of Mars Mission.

Having spent the better part of two decades thinking about these two themes, I can honestly say I don’t love this interpretation. It just feels like the kind of overly dark and twisted story a teenager or history professor would tell, and not really the spirit of either theme. Life on Mars is almost utopian in it’s sense of peacefulness and cooperation between the Martians and Humans, and so that is reflected in my headcanons.

Furthermore, the connection between the “Biodium meterorites” and native Martian Energy crystals is shaky at best aside from the fact that they’re both fuel-laced rocks found on Mars. A lot of people seem to find it funny or appealing to simply say that Biodium is energy crystals in some way, and that the humans in Mars Mission have come to steal the Martian’s source or power.

Nonetheless I’ve decided to sort of headcanon that “biodium” may just be a more stable or more rare version of Energy Crystals, one which the Martians prize above the dangerous and far more abundant energy crystals. Maybe it’s even a form that was created in soace instead of in Mars’ crust, leading it to only being found in meteors. This allows the theme(s) to work together instead of assuming the Mars Mission astronauts had slaughtered the Martians for their oil I mean energy.

And there we have it! It was important to me to establish humans were still peaceful allies with the Martians, who I believe probably went into a the safety of hidden villages, like the Fremen in Dune for example. Meanwhile there were other ways to make the theme a little bit more horrifying and fun, such as the idea of traveling 200 million kilometers to another planet to work as cannon fodder/subsistence farmer.

Quick shoutout to @a-brick-is-three-plates-tall for expressing so much interest and love for this theme and encouraging me to share more.

[malwarewolf-mocs]

Every so often when I want to get back into making mocs for a specific theme, I find it easiest to do a sort of sprawling meditative build made up of many smaller builds to try to capture the essence without committing to a huge time-consuming thing.

Farming would no doubt be incredibly important to the Prometheus mission, as the thousands of personnel present would doubtlessly need huge amounts of sustenance. Luckily, previous missions established fast-growing and sustainable farming pods that used eneiched martian soil to grow much needed food crops and medicinal herbs.

In my opinion both fractions’ vehicles from this series looked cool, so made two Bohroks: Martian and Earthling.
