The good, the bad, and the Hinckley
optimus-convoy replied to Corvus's topic in Brick Flicks & Comics
Excellent story Mr. Mandalorian. :-D Glad I could be a part of Hinckley's devious plot. >:-) -
Hmmm... Energon Bricks perhaps? :-P

I come in two versions, The crazed, bodiless, whacking robot and The cute n' cuddly fleshie. ;-)

My, what a magnificent poll! 8-

Whack-a-Fig Contest Semi-Final Round 3
optimus-convoy replied to Hinckley's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Another tough poll to vote for... :-/ I'm liking SW4J's, but I went with ZeekBoogieDoog's for his cruel whacking. X-D -
Maybe. But like 5150 said, he's probably just throwing a fit. I think it's possible either he or Paramont will cave. If he is out, I can't think of anyone specific right now. I just want a good director who knows how to do action and has some love for the franchise.

wrapped it's tentacles around Sinner, optimus-convoy, and Trooperdavinfelth. Just when it seemed the Kraken would devour them all, optimus retracted his hand, whipped out a buzzsaw, and freed himself from the Kraken's grasp...

When he got to the bathroom, Chuck was surprised to see it had been destroyed. On the broken mirror he found a note. It read: "Mesa have a gift for you." The tormented Sir Nadoj then came from behind with a sledge hammer and knocked Norris in the jewels. The blow caused him to tear up, and with a lick to his face Nadoj's Gunganism was cured.

2008 Motorized Vehicle
optimus-convoy replied to Shine's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I so want this to be real... But I have my doubts. If it were real, it would most likely be a bit blurry and there'd be a slew of 08 pics to follow. But it would be nice for those wonderful Technic figs to return. *wub* -
I like it. It looks like a pretty poseable, and durable mech. Also, very clever usage of 9v train track contacts in the chest. *y*

the mischievous optimus-convoy unlocked the cage and... well... you can guess what happened next. After the feast, he gathered the rancor and transformed into...

Yes and yes. As long as they fill it with unique and useful parts. I wouldn't mind having a few of those freaky big-headed fig too. :-P

The person above be is unspecific of his current whereabouts.

Wow... What won't they make into a movie these days. I just wonder what direction they'll take with it. A rags to riches story? An intense drama of millionaires managing their properties? A family comedy? I don't know. I won't judge until I see some concept. I'll close with a picture I couldn't resist altering when I saw it in this thread. :-P Seems a little young for Pennybags though. I may have to see how that looks... Back to Photoshop!

steal 5150's cell phone and prank call all his contacts. Then suddenly, the car locked Chuck Norris in and...

The Many Adventures of the Whacker and the Walrus
optimus-convoy replied to Hinckley's topic in Brick Flicks & Comics
So much senseless violence... Just the way I like it. X-D I eagerly anticipate more from the Whacker and Walrus. -
The person above me seems to be mad with power.

dismissed his call as a prank. Then out of nowhere a giant robot busted in and subdued the ravenous wampa. The robot then said, "I am optimus-convoy, I have come to..."
-
a massive, angry wampa approached suddenly and proceeded to devour the irritating Gungan bit by bit. It then turned to SW4J and Sinner and ate them too. >:-) Meanwhile, SirNadroj laughed manically after finding out his SW4J/Sinner/Jar Jar assassination plot had been carried out. 5150 LEGO then looked at him confused because he thought they were talking about Happy Gilmore, and said...

Whack-a-Fig Contest Semi-Final Round 1
optimus-convoy replied to Hinckley's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I kept going back and forth between Sir Dillon and ApophisV, but I went with Apo for his clever use of Yoda as a whacking implement. X-D -
Free Form Limited Set MOC Proposal (FFLSMP)
optimus-convoy replied to Siegfried's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I'd like to take part in one of these sometime. A few sets I'd break up: 7708 Uplink 8100 Cyclone Defender 4939 Cool Cars 4417 Aero Pod X-Pod (2006) 7770 Deep Sea Treasure Hunter and maybe 7017 Viking Catapult vs. Nidhogg Dragon -
Bear in mind that I don't actually own any of the figs (yet?). Personally, I'm not too bothered about any of the non-movie Movie figs. So that means no Swindle, Wreckage, Payload, etc. So that leaves Blackout, 2x Brawl, Bonecrusher, Barricade, Scorponok and 2x Megs. I don't know which figs you have, but I wouldn't bother with Scorponok as the small one in Blackout suffices and is in better scale. Deluxe Brawl has the shoulder problems you mentioned, and Megs and Leader Brawl are perhaps a little expensive (although it might be worth it for Brawl). I actually quite like Bonecrusher. He's accurate enough, and the stubbiness only adds to the fig IMO. I mean, he's a little squat in the film, isn't he? So, obviously, it's completely up to you, but I would recommend either Barricade (the arm gimmick doesn't look all that bad, and there's a small Frenzy fig included) or Bonecrusher. But like I said, I don't own either fig, so take my thoughts with a pinch of salt. I actually have Barricade and Deluxe Brawl. I'd recommend Barricade, he's pretty solid all around. The punching thing is pretty weak though. Deluxe Brawl ain't that bad. Sure, the arms don't hold, but they can just be clamped down. The Leader version definitely looks better though. All depends on how much you're willing to pay for Brawl I guess. That's definitely animated Soundwave, it matches the prototype in all ways except the giant axe that becomes Lazerbeak. (So I've heard.) However, I doubt it's legit. I believe an image of Starscream showed up in a similar fashion.

UB's alternate uses: Ice Cube Tray & Jell-O Mould
optimus-convoy replied to UniqueBuilder's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Excellent use of ice cube tray. *y* Can't for the flavored ice review, hope they turn out better then the chocolate ones. :-P That is just... brilliant. 8-
