this should thaw you out.

GRPHKA has landed on hoth and begun work on an ubersoldier. part at-at driver, part bambaboss... i give you: AT/3A. i don't normally post anybody's in progress work (this guy still needs to be painted) but he was just too fucking cool. lovely detailing that blends the two worlds together brilliantly.

just watch out for mouse droids with tow cables...

oh, and sorry for being a shithead about never posting.

the dude abides.

bambaland wants you!

the 3A legion recruiting is getting thrown into high gear. all new members will now get their own armored battle suit. hand painted and weathered to your choice. each continent sporting region specific colors.... nah, that's actually all bullshit. give it time though... i don't second guess ash.

this is legion related though, promise. it's the single most badass custom bambaboss that ever lived. meticulously constructed by our beloved makadi3000. you remember him right? the man who birthed seeker and sweeper. yeah. well he's topped them all with iron penguin. this thing kicks so much ass, it blows my mind. the concept, construction [additions and subtractions] and paintjob are perfect. absolutely perfect. i must stop the bleeding of praise. i'm holding you back from the pics.

[who am i kidding? i know you skipped immediately past this part. :)]

jesus. look at that bulge...

is that full of landmines? or just one big sock?

the pilot has a matching "alles kaput" tattoo across his knuckles.

and if everything is broken, i'm guessing the sergeant here did it...

the bambaboss exhaust port survives!

smile. you die now.

two pouches full of peanut butter sandwiches,

and one big explosive hammer... it's gonna be a good day.

airhorn or megaphone?

which one can rupture more eardrums? airhorn?

ok, i vote airhorn then.

born a boy, now a man.

i'm at a loss for words. i want it. iron penguin fucking rocks. and i'm definitely not the only one who thinks so... read the words of praise. the thread.

battle of the bonnie blue brits.

this is an evolution. a small epic. the story of a boy. a boy who deep down wasn't a boy at all. only 1s and 0s whizzed through his head.

an unthreatening facade, just a little rough around the edges, kept him safe. this boy who would be boss traveled. snow capped mountain majesties became his companions. he spoke to the animals,

but none spoke back. he was content as a solitary traveler.

a collector of information. a sentry unaware of the mission he was so perfectly executing.

must take a big needle to tattoo steel.

he didn't mean to squeeze jerry so hard. honest.

at least he doesn't talk as much now.

chugging away, forever with an appropriate halo of smoke.

then the day that everything changed. the boy heard a whirring inside that he had not heard before. he felt funny inside, started seeing changes to his body. tubes where there were no tubes. gears replicating gears. thicker smoke than ever before. and oil everywhere for all his new additions. a strong urge to destroy washed over him. using a couple of sturdy hedgehogs and some sulphuric acid, he shed his tattoos for something a little more streamlined. he was now the machine he always knew he might be. an armored bulldog of survival. there would not be much in the quickly approaching war that would catch him off guard...

stepped in moss. one eye rusted shut. and leaking oil.

it was a good party.

this thing come with a transmorgrifier?

sweet. let's turn hobbes into a rhino.

during the zombie wave of 1940, home cremation bots

became all the rage. large and ungainly,

but available in patterns to match your decor!

three more killer bots to add to the 3A customizing fun. the first bambaboss above was done by custard4gravy. a beautiful rusty landscape of skull-pecking birds. check out all of his fantastic work

on the flickrs and twitters.

the second and thirds were done by the always amazing cris rose.

you know where to find him. at one point, ash made a comment about bambaboss being the field general for all the squares. so the matching duo here fit together nicely.

i loved that the guys used the exact same palette for their brilliant bosses, so i gave them a connecting story. hope you two don't mind.

the legion grows.

in less than 2 months on the ground, the bambabosses are taking over. the 3A legion has responded quickly and decisively to bring this brute to life. there is some serious talent floating around bambaland. in case you didn't know, the bosses shipped totally white...

mereel

the nearly pantone-free getup is sharp as shit.

even a boss needs some sweet kicks.

toystarr [ game of death x kill bambaboss ]

simple and classic. the zomb boot print sealed it for me.

when charlie brown's go bad.

boneface [ bloody dirty deeds bamba ]

totally raw and insane. the true colors shine through.

semi-possessed eyeballs and a blood-soaked chin? prime.

expathos [ big red boss ]

so cute. until they burn your house down.

nyet!

nwo [ inverted ]

killer panda brings no happiness, only pain.

the dirty duo.

these are some of the best, but more are posted everyday
