LEGO Johnny 5: Not QUITE Alive, But Still Pretty Damn Charming

It would have been impressive if Johnny 5 were merely sculpted from LEGO bricks. But Brickshelf user rack911 did one better and created a Johnny 5 with fully working treads and a–we’ll call it partially functional–laser cannon. But appreciate the art carefully, dear reader. Johnny 5′s no-nonsense, wisecracking personality has been documented as a stronger pheromone than that of even the fabled Spanish fly. And licking an LCD may or may not cause electric shock.
