RJ BrickBuilds posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
01 by RJ BrickBuilds, on Flickr Hello, Bozos! You can support Johnny 5 on Lego Ideas to turn him into an Official Johnny 5 Lego Set here: Johnny 5 on Lego Ideas Who is Johnny 5? Those who don’t know him, Johnny 5, also known as “S-A-I-N-T Prototype Number 5” or Number 5 for short, is a very lively and inquisitive military robot prototype who’s perpetually hungry for more “input”. He is the star of the 1980’s movies Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2 and a TV special called Hot Cars. He became sentient when he was luckily struck by lightning during a combat demonstration. Although he is designed to serve the military as a robot prototype, he has an adorable child-like behaviour and has a great respect for life. He is a peace-loving robot and refuses to use his military capabilities to harm others. Despite being very intelligent and inventive, his naivety and trusting nature has been taken advantaged of on several occasions. Design This model is fully motorised using Powered Up motors and hub and controlled through a mobile device using the Powered UP App. It uses Technic parts to ensure stability of the structure, and System parts to capture the look and form of Johnny 5. The following are the playable features of the model: Movement – This model can move around on tank tracks and uses skid steer to change directions. Body – Johnny 5’s body can tilt using a Powered Up L motor and controlled using a mobile. Arms – Arms can be raised and lowered individually using the Powered Up App. The fingers can be adjusted manually as well as the elbows. Head – The head can be tilted and turned using the Powered Up App. Eyebrows – Eyebrows can be manually adjusted to suit the desired facial expression. Laser – The laser at the back can be raised and lowered using the Powered Up App. Watch the YouTube video here to illustrate these functions better: Johnny 5 on Youtube Total Pieces: 2,711 Dimensions: Studs: W 68.4 x L 36.1 x H 73.5 Inch: W 21.5 x L 11.4 x H 23.2 cm: W 54.7 x L 28.9 x H 58.8 Weight: 99.8 ounces or 2.83 kg Johnny 5 MOC Pictures: 02 by RJ BrickBuilds, on Flickr 03 by RJ BrickBuilds, on Flickr 06 by RJ BrickBuilds, on Flickr 05 by RJ BrickBuilds, on Flickr 04 by RJ BrickBuilds, on Flickr 07 by RJ BrickBuilds, on Flickr 08 by RJ BrickBuilds, on Flickr 09 by RJ BrickBuilds, on Flickr 10 by RJ BrickBuilds, on Flickr -

In Short Circuit 2, Johnny 5 set up a new business with his old friend Ben Jahrvi that builds and sells toy robots made in Johnny 5's likeness. This little robot never made it into actual production after the film. Johnny 5’s popularity and the unavailability of access to these cute little Johnny 5 robots made people clamour for this toy. To date anyone can google sites for 3D printing Johnny 5 robots and websites dedicated to producing both life-like and miniature Johnny 5’s. Johnny 5 is one of the iconic fictional robots in cinema to date. He’s part of every child who’s lived through the 80’s like me who are now AFOLs and longed for the Johnny 5 toy that never came out.

Little late in posting this, but after much prodding I present to you my version of Johnny Five from the Short Circuit movies. This was my final entry in my last Iron Builder round - the use of the required silver barbell saw a good number of mechanical-based creations on both sides. The Short Circuit movies were some of my favorites as a kid, so I'm glad I had the chance to make him. And now, my shameless plug for Johnny Five on LEGO Ideas. Moving has prevented me from giving any updates in a while, but I hope to return to it soon.

[MOC] Come and Follow Me! Short Circuit Truck and Bots to show!
Plokman posted a topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Hey all, Just finished a design in LDD and rendered it with Bluerender and thought I'd show it off to you guys. Lets take a trip back to 1986 and visit a lovable little living robot. Thats right I'm talking about Johnny 5. It is quite funny over the years I've seen many MOCs based off Johnny even one that was published in a very old issue of the old Lego Mania Magazine (Back when the Lego Mainac was a kid in a green t-shirt and a pair of red shorts.) and always thought he would fit in as a Lego set. But one odd thing was in common with those MOCs. They were built out of Technic parts from lift arms to cams. They were never Minifig sized. That is Till now: The Nova Robotics Truck was a key piece in the movie and so were the characters like Ben Jahveri, Stephanie Speck, Newton Crosby, Johnny 5, Number 1 his brother, and Captain Skroeder. Ruh roh it's the bad guy For me the hardest part of this MOC was making the S.A.I.N.T robots like Johnny and Number 1 in scale for Minifigure but I think I managed it quite well. But remember Rule number 1 for Johnny. Never ever try to hurt his friends. Oops almost forgot to post the up close shots of the Human Figs too. XD If you couldn't tell I never really liked Captain Skroeder. He played his role as a villain very well and his disregaurd for those who knew better and for life was a major put off to me. The one thing I wanted to do for this was actually have a Nova Robotics logo on the trucks' side like in the movie. But I'm not much a programmer and could only get the Minifigure's decals on right. Well except for Captain Skroeder's hat it's missing the logo too. I was able to make a Mock-up of the design though. Even Legoified it. So what does everyone think? I really hope it fits the source material. I watch the movies quite a lot during my production. I submitted it to for voting on a project site. Hope that goes well and so far so good. Now I need to collect the parts to build Johnny for my collection IRL. Hmm gonna have to repaint a pair of white arms to the right grey.
