KING OF LEGOS
Arms of Toil from The Lego Adventure Book

BOOM INTRODUCES US TO HIS CREATIONS (AND THE DRAMA) IN THE BASEMENT
Rieknight (RY-nite) used to be the second in command, but, after the first Mega War, the king was somehow destroyed. Then I decided to throw Rieknight in the blue bin. Then I couldn’t find his arm, but I found his head. And I found this cape in the blue bin for some random reason, so I decided to put it on him. I made this sword for him. I call it the Blade of Fire. When he was away, Spider Knight was in command, and he used the Line Blade. And he used Rieknight’s old mech, which he renamed. It was RieBot, but he called it Big Spider.
Almost all of my army is based on Lego videos, but I usually get some ideas from the Lego Ideas Book or the Lego Adventure Book. I usually look at the steampunk chapter. There are not enough robots in Lego Ideas. Adventure gives step-by-step instructions. Arms of Toil is from Lego Adventure. It was supposed to be a lifting bot, but then I made it into a lifting mech, but then I turned it into a full on robot. (Boom was all about mechs before robots.) I really wanted to build the Iron Legs, but I couldn’t.
Boom watches a lot of YouTube videos and looks at books, but says most of his creations are from his own imagination

Then I upgraded Reiknight’s Freedom Staff with two of these axe blades. This was after another Mega War. Now there’s a corruption that seeks on robots, trying to destroy them to rebuild its body. Here’s a little piece of the infection in a bottle. This is how much it’s built up now.
Now that Rieknight came back, he decided to put Spider Knight second in command. He was the supreme leader, but now he’s the king of all of Legoland because he destroyed the two leaders of Kal’s army. But not the mech that one of them had. It’s literally a rip-off of the spider bot! Just a full on rip-off! Like, why rip off me?
RIEKNIGHT with his armor, including the Golden Shark Tooth Spear that can also be used as a flail. The US Axe. Hunter Arm is actually a cannon. The Burning Blue is a blue flame that’s a blade. In 2019, Rieknight got the Freedom Staff. Then I gave him the Freedom Armor. Then I upgraded the Freedom Staff with two of these axe blades.

I’m going to try to make something based on a boss, the God Tamer, from Hollow Knight. I’ll build a robot version of the Tamer—not the beast because the beast would be way too hard. It curls into a ball and spits acid. Six arms, a whole bunch of eyes, and surprisingly two legs. And one giant sword!
Crystal Guard

MINI SEEKERS - The one that doesn’t look much like a plane was actually the first one I made. I named him SKYCLOPS because he has one eye. He was built first, then two months later I built the three other ones, and then I found him. The gray one is the leader. That’s why he’s connecting all of them on the combiner called AERIAL KING.

Crystal Guard, who guards the leader of my army, Rieknight. He doesn’t transform. (Boom didn’t have more to say about CG.)

MOONJUMP is meant to jump really high distances. He’s a scout bot and an airforce bot. He jumps really high and then falls really slowly as if he were on the moon.

Bolts

Bolts again with War Tread on his back
Madeline Vega
BOLTS used to be just a mechanic building more robots, but now that he got the war lord mini con named WAR TREAD (he’s a mix between a tank and a truck which is why he has treads and a canon with the front of a little car) on his back... He had armor before and could fly.
BOMBER I based him off one of my old bots that would split in half to transfrom. He throws bombs to trap his opponents in pits.
Madeline Vega
BLACK NIGHT also guards Rieknight because Rieknight is not actually able to guard himself. He stays where Rieknight is and attacks whoever comes near Rieknight, unlike Crystal Guard who always runs away to fight.

CAT-CAT is part AT-AT, part robot cat face and tail. I had an AT-AT and then noticed this part that looked like a cat face. At some point, I made a mega CAT-CAT. Its eyes were actually pretty big, made of little dome pieces with gold studs to look like little pupils. It turns out it had a way too big mouth. And I put eyes almost everywhere on it so it could see almost everything.

JUMPER He’s meant to look like a little angler fish with his light to scare off other robots in the water when he’s swimming. He has two missiles. A bunch of them combine to pretend they are a giant angler fish. I’m planning on making more—a runner, a flyer...

SEAHORSE, which you actually have to fix in Song of the Deep. Kal put gears sticking out of it so it looked more like the actual Song of the Deep one. I wanted to add fins, but he said there are none. There aren’t. I reinforced the face and started making little fins for it. He wanted to put little pieces of coral. I somehow lost the pieces of coral, and then, yeah, we didn’t have anymore coral. I want to build the Rimorosa, a giant angler fish that looks more like a scary octopus.

SPIDER KNIGHT has five shields with different powers, such as making his sword crazy strong. He can switch out for Fly Wings.
