Take Note
I think it’s time for you to start taking some notes, Matt
Need a Hand?
Impeccable style you say? I think you might need a hand with that
The height of fashion
You would shoot someone with such impeccable style?
Ray Gun 2000
Indeed. With my ray gun set to incinerate, I’ll strike you back to before your very existence!
Star Wars: A New Hip
Strike Back, you say?
Z-24 Striker
Whatever comes, I’ll always be ready to strike back
Drop the Beat
Chill out man, all I wanted to do was listen to a few beats!
Yeah, I had the speaker idea too, just on a different scale.
The Doof Wagon
Scared? No… I’m FURIOUS.
WITNESS ME!
Frankenstein
Are you scared yet?
On Track
That’s probably because I’ve used all of it while I’ve been chugging along
Guzzolene
Hmm… maybe I am a little out of gas…
Light ’em up
What’s wrong Matt? Are you starting to feel the heat?
Fixer Upper
Woah, it looks to me like that robot could use some serious fixing up.
This does not compute!
Maybe you should watch out, because you’re in…
DANGER.
Better Watch Out!
I think that you had better watch out!!
Toro! Toro! Toro!
I think that you had better get out of the way!
Prepare to get Served
I think that you had better prepare to get served 😉
Katamari Cleanup
Katamari
Well, that’s a lot of mocs so far… I gotta send in a guy to clean up:
Brunhilde
I think you’re worried you’re going to have to face the music…
Beyblades
I think I’m going to let this creation rip you to shreds!
And yes, they actually work:
Sonic Screwdriver
I’m not worried about escaping you, I’d rather just call on the good ol’ doctor 🙂
EXTERMINATE
Oh, there is nowhere in space and time you can go to escape me…
Hot Rod
Better watch out, Matt before I speed away.
Warp Coordinates Locked
Your insults don’t affect me – I’m already worlds away!
Fire Hydrant
This is what I think of your Red Lotus!
Note: I have no idea what a red lotus is, so here is my best approximation. 😉
And now with SEKRIT PART USAGE:
Venom of The Red Lotus
Power you say? You should know that the Red Lotus aren’t really fond of those in power…
Power Lines
Can you feel the POWER?
That Historic Landmark
The Scrap King
When I’m through with you all that’ll be left is scrap.
Pumping Iron
This should be a fun month!
Are you ready to pump some iron Matt? because I know that I am!
“The shield will be down in moments. You may start your landing.”
We have the rebel Tim in sight! Commencing fire!
Hello, all! After a year’s respite I’m back again and looking forward to another great round. I certainly have my work cut out for me this time!
And the seed part is…
This round’s seed part is the barbell weight in metallic silver.
Wish them luck! Who are you rooting for? Who will take it home? Whose builds reign supreme?
Only one way to find out! ALLEZ BRICK!

Creation
This is my last build. It’s been fun. But I want my room back now.
Vader’s Lightsaber
So…I had one last idea. I’m done for real now, serious this time.
Sexy & Spiky
Guys, here’s my last build for this round. It’s been a blast; I can’t wait to shut the forklift pieces up in a drawer and never look at them again. 🙂 This build’s small and simple. Yes, contrary to popular belief, there is Lego in this picture.
Pressure Gauge
Make sure your machine is well maintained, you wouldn’t want something to blow.
Mini Ball Contraption
I can’t begin to tell you how much of a mess my room is, especially after this one.
Video:
Clearing the Scrap
Getting close to the end, better start cleaning up the mess…
Wyvern’s Roost
Have you met my pet?
Nerdly Mousedroid
And it’s a two for one sale! Watch you don’t step on the help.
Nerdly Fett
Why punish people for the sake of it when you can get paid?
Punisher
The danger will never pass.
Art Deco Heels and Dress
The danger’s passed. I can worry about fashion now.
Bar The Door!
I can’t be worried with fashion right now; I’ve got people beating the door in over here.
Dorky Glasses
Reading Glasses
Rave Glasses
Do you think your bots can fix eyesight?
Nanovirus
Big bots, little bots, teeny tiny nanobots.
Aperture Science Sentry Turret
Are you still there? Searching…target acquired. Preparing to dispense product.
Yo Dawg, You Like Forklifts?
You’re breaking my heart, Mike, but not my sense of humor. There’s nothing better to lift the spirit than to beat a good joke clear into the ground.
Heartbreak
Till death do us part, Chris. I didn’t think you’d take that literally…
Heads Will Roll
Continuing with weaponry, and some Halloween gore thrown in for good measure.
Sword In The Stone
Hey, speaking of swords, I found this one stuck in a rock. Reminds me of an old story…
Howl Zabimaru
Thank you for entertaining the guests while I was away.
“Play it again, Sam.”
We need some more music. Something classy and moody.
Angry Birds
Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
Orthanc
I can see everything from up here…except how to get down…
That’s How You Get (rid of) Ants
Every time I try to have a picnic, that guy and his critters just have to show up…
Antman
::Listening to police scanner::
Antman: “…all part of the plan.”
Police Radio
“Available units near the park on Vine, please respond.”
“Central, this is 12, go ahead.”
“That woman is back.”
“The one that keeps kicking the kids out of their sandbox and setting up the volleyball net?”
“That’s affirm.”
“We’re en route. Over and out.”
Summer
Well, if you really wanna play games…
Beer Pong
Ping pong balls? That can mean only one thing…let’s get wasted!
Hunting Season
I must build awesome shit to defend my little ones.
Video:
To-Do List
I did some writing today.
Haida Bird
Better watch the little ones…wouldn’t want something packing them off.
This is Duck
That won’t contain this mess, hombre…
Just A Little Off The Top
That is some wild witchy hair, amigo…I have a friend that can clean that up for her.
Monster
Here’s a little Halloween themed MOC for you guys.
New Blacktron (?) Fighter
What’s time, without a little….SPACE!
Time
A clock, Chris. A boring old clock.
Hey Neighbor!
Hey Mike…whatcha building there, neighbor?
I’m Batman!
Looks like we’ll spend plenty of this round working in black…
…and sometimes very dark grey.
Music Notes
Cue the ominous music to start the round.
And you better believe I’m building a forklift this month. 🙂
And the seed part is…
This round’s seed part is the forklift fork in black.
In the words of Guy Himber: “It is with great excitement that we bring you the Battle of the Forklift Fork. Two seasoned veterans battling in the IB Coliseum and ready to Fork the Forking Forklift Fork!“
Allez Brick!

Remixing a Classic
Sounds familiar? I pulled the switches for the final track. Me winning this with a groovy remix is not an IF scenario! Kermit’s back and he’s not alone, because, you know, the real Iron Builder is the friends we made along the way <3.
Rodian Lord
My builds were hidden gems a year ago, now they’re simply brilliant. You’re going back to the frogs, but let’s remember how this round actually kicked off: I shot first!
The Frog Room
I might be tired, but I haven’t croaked yet! I still had room for a final build, and it holds the key to my success! The frogs left the bridge and what an adventure they had! Thanks for following along!
Street Monster
That’s too kind. Such a nice meal surely helps when you’re low on HP, so I don’t have any need. I just hope you’ve not become tired yet.
Thankful
I’d love to roast you but I’ll give you a break. I’m thankful for a warm holiday meal shared with friends. So enjoy this turkey, I’m sure you’ll eat it right up!
Bombshell
Shoetime: It’s over, Eli. I have the high ground! You have to admit, my shit’s absolute killer!
NoseGoes and the Galactic Gig
Not to be nosey but what are you up to? I’ve gone ahead and booked your facility for a concert, hopefully my music isn’t too alien! Ope, I hear my name, it’s time to take the stage!
The Car Poster
Phew, Iron Building takes a certain kind of drive ! I highly recommend tree-ting yourself to a walk outside, mine was very illuminating today. Maybe have some ice-cream for extra fuel. 🙂
Star Mining Facility
Reached for the stars yesterday. Today, I’m mining them! Brought some bottles and glasses, as I will only toast my victory!
Space Jam Station
I’ll keep my head out of the clouds for now, I need a little more space! Hope this build doesn’t put you in a jam I’ve heard it said if you don’t reach for the stars you’ll be toast!
The Bounty’s Companion
If I’d ever fall as snow on someone’s MOC, it’d surely be yours <3 . But, unfortunately, your weathered puns can’t reach me here. I have the clout, still traveling these lands on top!
“It’s not easy being a green watering can”
Tis the season to give gifts! I am Kermit-ed to defeating you, with a wreath! Much like the snow, you’ll soon be falling!
The Blademaster
You sure need a microscope to find the seed parts in there! Mmmh, I smell yet another frog. You dare to challenge the ORCtober Champion? I’ll finish you off, one stab at a time. My shoulders are strong enough to carry this game on my own!
A Closer Look
If your cactus gets knocked over by a rush of air, that’s just me zooming past! For science let’s take a closer look at this seedpart. Don’t stare too long, your chances might become microscopic!
Video:
Potted Cactus
Shooting water at me just makes me stronger! As you can see, the use of many watering cans will grow you a truly impressive cactus. Scared, Potter?
Iron Bubble Blaster
Surprise attack! I’m having a blast! Not to burst your bubble, but I thought I’d pop back in here for a bit more fun 🙂
The Cactus Caretakers
That is nice! But let’s get to the point, time to serve up some just deserts! There will be no Cact-us at the end of this, only Cact-i!
Peacock
Cute! Whatever these frogs are staring at, it must be a true eye-catcher! I might seem cocky, but I’m just seeking attention…
Frogs Below the Bridge
What a toadally tasty treat! I hope you aren’t unhoppy, but one is much safer at my pad! This is just the start, I’m bridging my way to success!
Caterpillar
Look, you’re confronted with pillars again! You shouldn’t skip Leg Day, as it’s still a long way to go. Think I could stay more down to earth But-I-fly!
And the seed part is…
This round’s seed part is the Watering Can in lime green.
Now our two contestants have 15 days to come up with amazing and inspiring creations featuring this seed part. Wish them luck! They’ll better get cracking!
Who are you rooting for? Who will take it home? Whose builds reign supreme?

Who will take home the crown?

Season 6 – Round 18 of Iron Builder – starting November 11th!
Round 17 is officially over!
It is now in the hands of our judges to decide who has won this round!
Good luck to both our builders!
Bingo?
Hey Duncan, I did this one just to scratch it out! I would miss IB a lot, so one final look, deep breath, but no fire. It was a tremendous pleasure to cross blades with you! Thank you!
Don’t Tomte me
I needed that ‘roof to see if you were naughty or nice! Now you’re gettin’ all the toys, even before that hand lands on 21. I mean 12…And you should be grateful it’s not smoking, I’d never go in otherwise.
The Clock is Ticking
The end (of the round) will be here before we know it. So many ideas, so little time… Are you Gallifrey-d of judgement?
Some dads give their kids Legos
Boy, those horns look hella sharp… Wouldn’t it be more convenient if you filed them down? Excuse me though, this is a no-smoking area!
Tomte’s Gnomestead
Your space age marvels may seem fancy, but they’re gnome-atch to a quiet, humble life… While you were making deals with the devil, I decided to drop some pastries off at a friend’s. I would have stayed longer but there wasn’t mushroom to build at his place!
Flying Solo
Hey man, what are your plants? Building something big like a rocket or something? Those previous builds must’ve been only a camouflag.
Out of the ruins
I know that We Don’t Need Another Hero, but this one is a real head Turner, cat you see?
Oh Snap!
Wait! I found one of my hands, unfortunately not the one with the treasures. I do have hermit to use it, I’m an Iron…maaan, you know what – I’m enjoying this round too much!
Old News
You have to wander no more, it’s just a Tile 2 x 2 with Groove with Map Blue Water, Yellow Land, Black Ship, Compass Rose, White Skeleton Head and Red ‘X’ Pattern, available in 26 sets. This is what I found with a quick search dough-nut enough time on my hands right now.
Message in a bottle
I decided to take a little vacation to the beach after all! Glad I did, because this little crustacean led me to a message in a bottle. Don’t be crabby though, if it’s a map to buried treasure I promise not to be shellfish!
They see me rollin’, They hatin’
Arcade you not, I’d be a Chamillionaire if I got a bug for every time someone tilted their head at me.
I *lick * that car, but I’m gonna stick with this till the very end. I’ve branched out a bit from my usual genres, fortunately I can focus on a couple things at once! https://flic.kr/p/2pac5k4
Spoiler Alert!
Quite the contrary, this is a piece of art! And as an artist I’m no one-hit wonder, I hit multiple times. Come the Weeknd, you’ll be blinded by the lights…tail lights that is.
What a piece of junk!
Killer clowns? Ugh, keep ’em far, far away from me… Like, maybe in another galaxy!
Penny for your thoughts
Word to the wise, there’s something scarier in that sewer! Not your float though, you have to give IT the right stab.
Hero on the half-shell
Cowabunga! A beach party sounds pretty radical. Maybe we’ll even see some turtles!
Flip or Flop
Hey man, after this week IB chillin’ on the beach, everything is packed already. Chair up, you will finally have that time to sort!
Funny you should ask
I don’t have a Clu actually, you can try Quorra. If I had to do it now though, I would’ve done it differently. And yes, I do wanna race!
TRON
So, you wanna race? Quick question, though: How’d you get your shrink ray to go all the way to nano? I can only seem to get mine to go down to micro.
Blades of Glory
That’s the spirit! But let’s put things back into perspective – 9 is ok, but #1 is better. I have a guy here ready to try, but like your Skitsune, there’s more than meets the eye.
Forest Spirit
Don’t think you’ve outfoxed me yet! If shootin’ and stabbin’ won’t work, I’ll try bonk-ing you over the head!
Bridging the Gap
All that creed, your assassins are relentless. Anyway, it’s so peasant to know you are always thinking of me! Unfortunately, I’m joust not there – this is my double. I went to my other castle to get some quiet, before Brickscalibur.
Curtains for the monarchy
That’s not a knife… This is a knife!
Cutting Bonds
It was nice meeting your Swiss Army Wife, she was definitely dressed to kill. Let me introduce you to mine – Knocks…Victory Knocks. With all dead things laying around I think you have a real shot at taxidermy, so here’s my gift to you.
NO TIME TO SORT
All that fancy gadgetry won’t save you Jordan, I’ve got a license to build and I’m not afraid to use it! Better watch your back, because I’m gunnin’ for you this round!
The Inthertship
Something shady is going on here and I don’t think that bunny was hit by a truck, it looks completely floored. I just hope he’s not stuck in the Lindbo.
Lunchtime with the beaky boys
I’ll be honest, it’s only 5 days and I already feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. But somehow, I’m sure I’ll find the will to carrion, no matter how grisly this round gets!
A friendly face
Hey man, are you hAngry for more? No ties in Iron Builder and yet I made 2 so far (same shirt too). I’m not trying to ORChestrate the show, just to put some fire builds out there.
Interlinked
Duncan, are you trying to cyberpunk me? You can slide or spinner-ound, but that’s the po-pos, so not a sound. #YONHO
Akira Bike Slide
DANKOOOOOO!!! Sorry, I’m not sure why I’m shouting. I guess these past few builds have got me feeling really anime-ted!
Another collectable?
Don’t you know I collect chainsaws…man. Check the statistics. Stihl, my collection is too big, so this one will be on sale from October 15th on Creations for Charity’s website.
Chainsaw go brrrr
What’d you say? Sorry, couldn’t hear you, I had my earplugs in! I’ll admit, I was a little stumped when I first saw the seed part… So I cleared my schedule to think, and woodn’t you know it, I was able to come up with a few ideas myself!
Not shelf ready!
Duncan, sorry, but I found some bugs in your mech. I hope these will give you some IDEAS how to fix it, may be even get you in the 10K Club.
“Iron Lancer” IB series 2, D-type
Aw, geez, that was my only one! Bot that’s okay, I guess I’ll mecha do with something else to illustrate my points…
Quick Sketch
I’m no Picasso, but a promise is a promise. Sorry I took one of your pencils!
The King of the World?
If we’re playing, I think rock beats scissors any day. And yes, I am all about crafts, how about I draw you a Rose, Jack?
Arts and Crafts
That’s a cute fish Yordan! He looks a little lonely though… Maybe he’d be happier if he returned to his school? But not to worry, I’ve got just the tool to cut that line and set him free!
Baited in sunlight
Hey Duncan, I want to give you a worm welcome – the iron way. I guarantee you will get hooked!
And the seed part is…
This round’s seed part is the Technic Rotor Blade in red.
Now our two contestants have 15 days to come up with amazing and inspiring creations featuring this seed part. Wish them luck! They’ll better get cracking!
Who are you rooting for? Who will take it home? Whose builds reign supreme?
Only one way to find out! ALLEZ BRICK!

Round 16 is officially over!
It is now in the hands of our judges to decide who has won this round!
Good luck to both our builders!
Closing entry! It was a great round and I think we both made a good job. We animated each other to leave our comfort zones and we have always gifen our best. Now it’s time for the judges to decide, who of us will catapult himself on the Iron Throne.
Try to make up for a bit of sleep deprivation, re-sort your parts collection and most importantly: recover a bit from the stress!
Iron Carousel
Justus, it’s been an amusing journey, but I have one last build to park here. Your last build shows you have been training hard! In my estimation this has been a fair (merry go) round!
All heard the loud bell, on the Iron Carousel,
It tolled to announce the round was done
And let the challengers rest while the sun
Was still up for both had stayed
Up far too late for their builds to be made
Terminus
Terminus, Joe! It’s been a long, sometimes arduous trip, but I think we’ve had a tramendous time, right? However, time flies and it’s time for us to get off (s)now. Thanks to all who watched and to you, Joe, for this wonderful Iron Builder round!
Sea Serpent
You will need more than a puny idol to save you from my devouring serpent! I plan to steer a straight path to victory and not slither about. I plan to stay the (vi)king on the throne!
The Idol
Idoln’t know how your Constraction MOC is doing, but you better hurry up with it. Remember: We only god three days left!
Vantastic RV [Working Suspension]
Nice wagon, but for traveling I prefer this vantastic RV! I know, the seed part usage isn’t very obvious at first glance so I recarded a short video to demonstrate the working seed part suspension!
Wagon Ride
This round has been a wild ride! I’ve had enough horsing around and wanted to get moving. Can you handle the heat or will you desert this competition?
Scavenger
Hey Joe, I hope my lizard doesn’t saddle you with pressure but I think we had a deal to both build a Constraction MOC this round, right? You know what you gotta duo now!
Walk in the Park
Happy Birthday Justus! Sorry I couldn’t leaf you alone today. I hope your celebrations don’t make you fall behind. You will need to build a little faster if you want to bridge the gap between us.

Iron Builder Throne
I see what you mean but I know that you want my throne and I’m gonna fight to keep it 😛
