if I had the right colors in my collection , we would be sitting not just in the same boat, but also on the same seat, because I was thinking about building 4552

I'm really surprised that there are so few classic system sets in the competition. When the contest was just announced, I thought that it would be a competition of construction / fire / police cars from lego city against spaceships and underwater bathyscaphes. Now I feel a little awkward and lonely with my robot among the classic technic sets. I hope I understood the task of the contest correctly

Time for updates. The body is almost ready. Only the part at the back remained open, where the head rotation control wheel will be. As a result, I abandoned some of the functions that were originally planned: there will be no tilt of the body and head, because this would require a lot of difference in appearance from the original model. So only suspension and body rotation are added. I also changed the central part of the body, where the original model has a panel with electronics print. I tried to repeat it with small plates. I really need your opinion, which of the options is better. It remains to build a head.

I agree 100% I also like the design before restyling more, but Lego were forced to make an actual design.

The radiator grille of the previous version belonged to the first generation of Zetros. In 2020, a restyling was released. And now the radiator grille is the same as in the model old: new:

Thank you. Glad you like it. New progress. Hands ready Raising the shoulder and bending the elbow will be using the rotating handles. Turning the end of the hand and opening the claws is done manually. I don't have a magnet for the second hand, so the hands are the same for now. If time remains, maybe I will come up with another device (drill or weapon) Sorry for the light from the lamp in the photo

I'm not sure about the stabilizer, but it's time to change the shock absorbers to hard ones Small update. Fighter and rear hangar ready my 75120 became an excellent donor The fighter even got one function: variable thrust vectoring engines

Thank you for your feedback. It is very breathtaking. New progress. I got close to the arms of the robot The original set has a panel in the center of the body, on which electronic elements are printed. For this scale, I have nothing of the kind. So for now, I decided to replace this part with a radiator grill. Maybe then I'll come up with something to replace

This question is for Lego designers. In my version and in the original set, they are only for decoration.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been involved in the competition for over a month. I will try to do it faster now. The bottom of the robot is ready. The suspension rises to a height of 2 students. The upper wheels rise together with the lower ones. The original model has very small arms at the bottom for loading. Because the new scale allows - I made them longer and more detailed

Maybe. But I will not add tracks. For the last 3 weeks I have not had time to do construction. But I almost finished the bottom part. I'll post progress soon

As soon as the rules of the new competition were announced, I immediately decided which set I would choose. As a child, I had small sets 6835 and 3013 from the Spyrius Lego Space series. But of course I dreamed of a giant robot 6949. But now the competition begins and ... dreams come true :) I started by calculating the scale. I chose it using the size of the wheels, which I made from track links. The scale of the new model has become 1x1,7 (I think that 1x1,7 is not too big a difference in scale). The scale also had to be increased in order to be able to implement hand control functions and to be able to repeat design elements with parts of Lego technic. Future functions (I plan to place all controls on the back): the original model has only control of hands (of course, this function will be) I also want to add functions that the original model does not have (I believe they will significantly improve its playability) - body rotation - body tilt - head tilt the suspension will also be added (after all, this is a Lego technic). And without a suspension, this model will stagger a lot, even on the smallest bump. Now I started by building a "skeleton" of the future robot to determine its proportions. After that, I will build each of its parts in detail.

Of all the sets of the second half of the year, I was looking forward to Zetros the most. But seeing this, given the price of 300 euros, I am greatly disappointed. It will probably be 3 engines and at best the functions will be gear shifting or differential locks. But I take a calculator in my hands and count: for this money I can buy 2 sets of 42109, having received 2 smart blocks and 4 motors. With the remaining money, you can buy any unique parts (including new wheels) and still get more. I don’t know yet what this set has to offer for me to change my mind.
