The Librarian Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) (Sorry if anyone comes in before I've finished editing, I hit post instead of preview!) So, being a comicbook fan, I'm naturally pretty excited about the whole 'Superheroes' line. If I'm honest, I'm primarily in it for the Magneto minifig coming out later this year but that's not to say the DC stuff hasn't gotten my creative juices flowing. Having got hold of the Lex Luthor power suit, I decided that I'd rather have someone else piloting the giant robot and give Lex a more appropriately sized set of armour ala the comics and Justice League cartoon. And who better to run around in a giant robot that the evil computer mind himself, Brainiac! Supervillain Teamup by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr As you can see, I did my best to get the 'diode' pattern in as much as possible, even if I couldn't on the minifig itself. I used the Wicked Witch's head because it's, you know, about the only bright green head avaliable and rounded the ensemble off with some drones and bottled cities. Lex is your average Lego hardsuit design in as much green and purple as I could scrape out of my collection. I had to use black as a contrasting colour but I think that kind of works. Full set here! Enjoy! Edited March 26, 2012 by The Librarian Quote
K-Nut Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I love that Lex suit! Any instructions for that? I'm also not that much into the Superman Comics, so i can"t tell you if that's entirely accurate or not, but great work! Quote
sok117 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Awesome job on your Mech! I really like how you transformed what I assume is the Tri-pod Alien quest body seamlessly into the model while still making it look amazing! I also really love your Lex Luthor suits! I can't wait to see more from you Quote
JackJonespaw Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Nice MOC! The Lex suit looks fantastic! Much better and more minifig sized that the Power-Lex set. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Awesome work The Librarian Lex suit with green criptonite is excellent! Quote
viracocha Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I am impressed by your MOC very much! I like the colors and how giant robot's legs are made. The back view of the robot is cool too! Quote
The_Box Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I might have to "borrow" your power-suit design if I can find the right pieces in my collection. Awesome job on everything here. Quote
The Librarian Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks for the comments everyone! Awesome job on your Mech! I really like how you transformed what I assume is the Tri-pod Alien quest body seamlessly into the model while still making it look amazing! I also really love your Lex Luthor suits! I can't wait to see more from you Full points! That's exactly where I got the basic outline for the Brainiac robot from. The cruving/prongs shape just seemed a perfect fit once I got it at an angle. I love that Lex suit! Any instructions for that? I'm also not that much into the Superman Comics, so i can"t tell you if that's entirely accurate or not, but great work! I might have to "borrow" your power-suit design if I can find the right pieces in my collection. Awesome job on everything here. Instructions, as requested, can be found on Flickr: Lex Power Suit Instructions 3 by Librarian-Bot, on Flickr Quote

chrisellis Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 very cool. I love the contrast in size of suits. seems more realistic Quote
Krikkit Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Found this by pure accident from a google search. Impressive how much this looks like the official version we have just had released! Quote
