U.S.A.p.e. Printer Friendly Version   By BRIGUY385 - Dec. 31, 1969 Mold used: Station Builder Extra stuff used: piece of cork for bottom, 6 pieces of wood for the elbows and knees, 2 custom rocket exhausts, 2 imp eagle symbols (cut in half) beads for the eyes and rivits, and magnets to hold the weapons. Dia: 11" tall 5" wide and 7" accross I made a butt out of the station builder blocks! Yep, thats how this one started out. I was goofing around with the wedge pcs. and various fits of the station builder blocks, when I noticed before me a butt. Oh how to incorporate this into a build? It had to be something quasi organic based, as most robots don't have rears. So naturally I got to thinking....when on came a commercial for King Kong....yes a robot gorilla....Ha ...Ha...Ha... with big machine guns and rockets!!! But what to call this creation? Looking around the room, I was drawn to the dvd collection...whence I spied "Team America World Police" Score, a patriotic robot called .....U.S.A.p.e. Which must stand for...Unique Simian atomic Powered Exoskeleton. Well there's an insight into my twisted thought process. I used wood pieces at the joints for strength and a few extra bits to spruce it up. magnets hold the guns in place, and I plan on building more weapon systems. Not shown in the pictures, but the boob bombs are also removeable. The jets on the back were from a custom mold of toy pieces. The rivits are small beads, as are the machine gun barrel ends and the eyes. Thanks everyone, and remember a 40 foot tall Gorilla-bot with twin linked machine guns sleeps wherever he damn well wants.

The BOT king!  Aug. 28, 2006, 10:22PM  By: DUKEDREAL All i can say is that when i read that you were just handling the pieces and made a rear end that it inspired you to create the Great APE i smiled. Overall a great Mech...and must really look great with all of your other creations!  Aug. 25, 2006, 08:44AM  By: ABAROTH Excellent addition to your range of mechs. Sheer madness - I love it. Reality is a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there ;-)  Aug. 21, 2006, 04:14PM  By: MALARKEY Very neat... well done use of the mold!  Aug. 17, 2006, 01:56PM  By: DNDOPMAN I think this is a great addition to all the other wonderful robot projects you have done in the past. I can't really see any design flaws to speak of. Great work on this one.  Aug. 16, 2006, 02:18PM  By: WITTERQUICK My son is a huge fan of primates, and wants me to build this!
