Not sure if that's a positive thing or a negative thing. April 27th 2013- Melli has returned, and has been re-promoted to Moderator. Jan 16th 2013- We've just crossed over the 300 page mark, as well as the 1100 image mark. Jan 3rd 2013- I've recently been informed of a cancelled Deep Jungle set under the serial number 8116, which was going to be called the Jungle Thrasher.
I was given some pictures by an anonymous user. I created a page since it was technically a set, or would have been if Lego hadn't had such bad sales. Jan 1st 2013- Happy New Year Everyone, we've almost reached 300 content pages, keep up the good work!Items 1 to 60 of 2581 Items 1 to 60 of 2581 7706 Mobile Defense Tank is an Exo-Force set released in 2006. It includes two minifigures, Ryo and a Tank Gunner. It contains 365 pieces and is recommended for children aged 7 through to 14. The Mobile Defense Tank is made up of six main parts; the cockpit, the front and rear treads, the turret gun, and the side-mounted "weapon pods". The cockpit is mainly orange. The pilot sits in the middle of the cockpit. In front of him are four guns; two with black lightsaber blades and the other two, below the first ones, with the long-barreled Exo-Force gun that comes in many of the sets. The canopy has a sticker obscuring the back half of it. It is the same type of canopy as the one that comes in the set 7779 The Batman Dragster: Catwoman Pursuit.
Behind the cockpit are three joints, where the top gun and side pods connect on. There are two more of the side cockpit pieces at the back, with stickers connected onto them. However, the stickers are connected to more than one piece, so taking the model apart will ruin the stickers. This has since been remedied in later sets such as 8897 Jagged Jaws Reef. The top gun has a white engine, the same as the one in the vehicle platform in the Sentai Fortress. The gunner sits on this, although slightly to the side, as it is three studs wide. The last stud is taken up by a brick which connects to the set's power core. Connected to this is a red lightsaber blade, similar to the one in the Sonic Phantom. At the front of the white engine, there is a six-barreled gun similar to the ones in the Striking Venom. On the other side of the engine, there is a disk launcher which fires green disks. The weapon pods are mirror images, apart from their stickers. They are mainly made up of a 8x8 dark grey base with holes in it, and a curved orange brick on top.
The orange brick is the same as seen in airplane sets like 7893 Passenger Plane. At the front of the pod, there are five blue missiles, although they cannot physically be launched. The flick missile pieces were not included in Exo-Force. At the back of the pods, at the top, there is another small structure, with a white capsule. It is not known what these are. The treads structures are identical, apart from the boosters at the back. They can hinge up and down, with a fairly strong connection. The main structure is made up of TECHNIC beams and bars. At the ends of the bars, there are three wheels to each tread; two on the ground, and a third, which is closer to the center and higher. Covering these are orange plates, made up of two 4x1x6 sloped pieces. A round white 2x2 piece with a Japanese symbol connects them together. The back tread also has boosters, which are the black Exo-Force blasters with a small grey pin and a small flame. The Mobile Defense Tank was built and piloted by Ryo, with the help of a Tank Gunner.
He used it to travel into the robot half of Sentai Mountain, where he rescued a human trapped there and discovered a new project the robots were working on. Advance Tactical Unit, the set's alternative modelMagnalink by Lando Da Pimp If asked to describe the new LEGO line Exo-Force I would say that they are a combination of Bionicle and Alpha Team sets. Recreating an anime style of LEGOs provides unique new creations of LEGOs. Anime LEGO fans will love this line while LEGO purists will despise them for lack of bricks. My preference on these sets are somewhere in between the purists and Anime fans. While I love the older LEGO sets I can't help but be pleased of the new colors, pieces, and creations that are consistently released, providing if nothing else room for more creativity. That being said I have an open mind that not all LEGO lines are for me and that change can be a good thing. I don't care too much for the Bionicle line, but I loved the Alpha Team sets. I review the sets based on what I like about them but what can make them better.
Thunder Fury is a very intimidating looking mech armed to the max. On the right arm is a giant machine gun that rotates around but is prevented from making a full 360-degree rotation because of the clear tube that connects to the body. On the left arm is a giant razorblade chain saw. In the middle of the robot is the cockpit with a robot mini-figure above a massive machine gun. The set is about 7 1/2 tall and is 197 pieces including a robot mini-figure. If you also purchase set 7703 Fire Vulture you can build a giant Battle Machine. When I first looked at this set all I could think about is how much the Sonic Phantom resembles a Pod Racer from Star Wars Episode I. I also feel that it doesn't fit in with the rest of the sets. The look of the Phantom is very different to me than the sets I have seen so far. Even with that the set is still a fun build and is easily customizable to be a POD racer. The Sonic Phantom is powered by two large nuclear engines in front with an engine on either side of the vehicle.
The Phantom is armed with a light up laser canon and a working missile launcher on the bottom of the vehicle. On either side are rotating laser guns that rotate on the nuclear engines. The piece count is 215 including a robot mini-figure. Gate Assault is a battle set recreating the humans keeping the robots from breaching the gate. The only problem is what is the gate protecting? Why don't the robots just go around the side? Gate Assault is packed with two smaller MECH robots, battle tank, and of course the gate. The two MECH robots are a smaller than the Thunder Fury set. The white MECH is a human bot while the red is the Robot, uh, bot. (Yes, I am aware I put a human into the robot Mech) They are also armed with multiple weapons including missiles and machine guns. This set also comes with two human mini-figures, and based on discussions I had with fans are now causing an up-roar from LEGO purists. The hair of the mini-figures, are not a hard plastic but a soft rubber.
I do like the smaller mechs, however I was really disappointed with the battle tank and gate. The gate is also not a gate but a gate entrance. The gate is very simple and really isn't protecting anything. I did make the suggestion to LEGO for a cool fortress that the gate protects. When the gate opens it hits a lever that launches a missile from the launcher. On top of the gate are missiles and guns that protect the battle tank from entering the gate. This set has 402 piece count. I really like the idea of LEGO MECH robots however I think that the MECHs could use more design tweaking. As I stated earlier the back of all the robots are ignored leaving them flat and not real 3-dimensional. LEGO purists will not like the mini-figures' hair while LEGO customizers will love them. I can easily see how a person can use the red anime hair to create a Syndrome (The Incredibles) customized mini-figure. I have also noticed lately that a lot of LEGO sets are not fully armed with massive weapons.
