That's an awesome job!!!

One question...

How do you make the items stack and "float" like that? I've had some ideas for other things and I can't do them unless I can get things to stack but they don't cooperate with me.

I made the giant robot using the old fashioned way by stacking desks (of course I-13 made it a lot easier, as all desks are now practically magic desks), 12 layers high if I remember correctly.

I didn't see the lamp + tile floor technique that MrWentWorth referred to above, until I visited the base forums to post my robot that day. If I did saw it, I would've done it that way, as it's easier and faster to use. I use that technique now to float things.

Very nice!

One of the folks in my Supergroup posted a pic of your robot, so I had to track down this thread to comment on it.

I steal FAPRNs.

The robot is indeed quite impressive. It's truly amazing what the new base construction system can do... I'm really excited to see what bases will be getting down the pike (more so with all the recent visible red name presence).

Wow, thanks Castle! Hmmm... so this is how it feels to have a redname in your thread... it's a tingly sensation.

We will see this in every other base by January...
Everytime I see it in somebody's base ill make sure and tell the base designer that he is a thief and fails at creativity. Your welcome!

Okay, by far that is the coolest thing I have seen built in a base. If I had my way you would get a Perm Yellow Name Tag that says the following: Giant Robot Builder.

Great work and hopefully there is more to come.

I've been busy redoing my base since I-13 hit. I still have lots to go, and yesterday it was time to work on my Trophy Room. While I was doing it I thought I needed a centerpiece of sorts, something big. Batman always has that giant robotic T-Rex in his trophy room. So I wanted something showy and big.

I stopped doing my trophy room for a bit, pondered, and had an idea. This was it:

Giant Robot 1
Giant Robot 2
Giant Robot 3
And I just had to sit on his shoulder.

I tried my best to use mostly tech items. My plan was to create something along the lines of the Iron Giant. Something looking like a toy robot built from various items and equipment. I also built him to be as tall as I can, using the lowest floor and the highest ceiling.

For concept, I'm thinking he's basically a robot made up of various equipment and parts, built by magic and is held together by it, kinda like a golem. And the usual, hero-stops-giant-golem-toy-robot, beats bad guy, and hero reprograms robot, deactivates it, and brings it home.

I think you have created your own ingame boss lore thing. If you have any type of fully set story with him. I'd love to know.

I also was wondering if I could make something similairly designed in my SGs base? If you dont want it out there and want to keep it only one of those types thats cool but I'd love to have it.

Anyways, great job! I am sure you have inspired many base builders like myself!

The first thing I thought when I saw this was "AWESOME!"
The second thing was "It's not going to be so funny when the Devs turn it into a GM and have it run amok in your base."
The third thought was: "GENTLEMEN BEHOLD! I GIVE YOU: THIS THING!"
