Mr Stompie is another one of my MOC's based on Batman Lego, I dont have a particular preference for Batman Lego but it just turns out that way sometimes.
Mr Stompie adds a bit of heavy muscle to the Joker's aresnal. He's a remotley controlled robot of epic proportions, a prototype, built for destruction and to keep bats at bay while he's up to general villanry. Normally controlled by one of the Joker's more trusted henchmen (so the Joker can sneek away while "Bats" is busy).
As is often the case, this whole thing began with one interesting piece, the printed face piece which started out as the front of a missile on the Joker helicopter. Not exceptionally creative to use a piece with a face on it as a face I guess, but there are some parts of Mr Stompie that I love.
The face print itself is pretty darn cool but with the addition of the white "horn" piece as a crooked nose, he looks kinda creepy. Two ice cream pieces make perfect candy floss style hair tufts and the collar and tie are one of my favorite parts of ol Stompie.
His right arm is a flame thrower, I added the pilot light for a bit of extra detail. Flame pieces can be added to the nozzle for effect if required (as seen in the field test below).
His left arm features a heavy metal ball and chain, you dont have to be the worlds greatest detective to know getting hit by that is bad idea!.
I love the mechanics on the back also, used quite a few fiddly pieces to add pnumatic looking piston detail. The arms can be adjusted up and down by removing studs from the pnumatic section at the bottom of the arms.
The addition of a few 1x1 silver round plates gives Mr Stompie a metalic look IMO.
Poor old Batman never stood a chance! Im sure he'll be back though.
And finally....Mr Stompie in action during testing.
