Very goofy.

Rescue from what? He looks fine. Other than the fact that he's clearly not in the universe.

I remember seeing some video from the designer back in the day on the Lego website. Hopefully they can do more of those design videos someday.

This has been on the shelf at one second-hand shop near me for almost two years already and it's still there...The price is £20/¥4000 so it comes off as a little pricey already and the build itself puts me off a little, even if it's just for parts. For that price I'd rather spend it on better sets. However....it does have the light brick!!! That's the constant umming-and-ahhhing in my mind about the whole purchase...

How was this not already on my wanted list? I love Creator 3-in-1 robots.

He doesn't need rescuing, he'll be busy playing Dungeons & Dragons for the next ten quadrillion years.

Honestly, I hate AD&D (THAC0 can die a multitude of painful deaths), and never heard good things about the OG D&D, so that doesn't sound as appealing as you might think.

Oh, that light brick use gives me ideas, especially when used with red trans 2x1 bricks. And thus the Evil Bot idea is born...

I remember really wanting to purchase this set at the time, but never got around to it. Tracking one down was one of my pandemic-projects (I think I found an unopened one from a Hungarian Bricklink seller). But I think it's a really cute little set, I quite like him.

And with this set, Gwyneth Paltrow finds another new and exciting way to disappoint her family.

I kid. It's a very decent robot. Swap some pieces out for other colours, and you have a fine M-Tron or Blacktron companion-piece.

I got it ! Light brick sets are always on my radar. It's not pretty, but it's funny and looks like a B-movie robot.

I so wanted it for its light brick, and because it's a robot, but nver picked it.

THAC0 hasnt been used since 3rd edition which released in 2000 after TSR went under. Modern ac is way more intuitive.

OG D&D is an interesting curiosity since it was trying to bruteforce wargame rules into working as a TRPG.

Most people remember Basic DND fondly from back in the day, which was initially a more consistent and streamlined revision of OG DND rules releasing a few months before the first AD&D core rulebook. Ironically Basic also used THAC0 later on, but complaints about it are rare since that happened after its prime.

My favorite Transformographagizer!

Anyone remember the game?

Aside from a few pieces, I thought this was a 2004 set I forgot at first before reading the year.

I don’t want him rescuing me…

This is a great set. The alternate models are good, and one's a robot dog.

Creator 3-in-1 was IMO always underrated. Especially the smaller ones like this where it's feasible to get extras so you can display the alternates together.

Yeah, you do need to pick the right edition. On the other hand, you're guaranteed to have enough time to finish the campaign!

This bot rescued me out of my dark age.

@Eightcoins8:
If you get your hands on an original 3rd Edition Player’s Handbook, my name is listed with a bunch of my friends from college in the Playtester Credits, so even though I’ve somehow never played the released version of 3rd, I did play two Beta builds. Gygax left T$R before WotC bought them out, though, so I very much doubt he would have been running anything past AD&D. The only thing I’ve played since playtesting is a world record-setting one-shot using 5.0 through a local Bricks & Minifigs store. So no 3rd proper, no 3.5, no whatever they did with 4th, and no 5.5. But I’m pretty sure THAC0 is well and truly dead under WotC/Hasbro, and it needs to stay that way. The only point I can see with it is that it lets the DM keep the opponent’s AC secret, except that any player can look up statblocks online for free, so…

When I first saw the image pop up, I thought it was a build from Atlantis's second wave due to the color scheme.

Robot: "Hi, I'm suppose report for duty to Billy Blazes; is he here?...No...How about Wendy Waters?...No...Jake Justice? Jack Hammer? Rocky Canyon? Who's Duke DeTain???":D

Given the color scheme, I think this fella would be part of the Fire Department, buy I could be wrong:)

I have this one. The placement of the hip joints is headscratching. Now it can only do jumping jacks. So I recommend swapping them around so the ball joint is on the hips.

Not the best Creator robot, but still a nice one to have (if you swap the ball and socket joint bricks)
