    Watch out for the MOGITEs (Massively Obnoxious Gremlins Infesting Technological Environments)! These mini-monsters cling parasitically to 5mm pegs and ports, swarming any environment they can find. Inspired by pack-in minifigures of the 80s and 90s, like TMNT mini-mutants and Ghostbusters Mini-Ghosts.

    Like most of my stuff, they're up on my Shapeways store.

    Assault'n Battery has a need to feed, latching onto its prey with snapping jaws and its energy draining/shocking jumper-stinger. features a 5mm port in the jaws and a 5mm peg at the end of the stringer-tail.

    Augernaut is a charitable mogite, he cracks armor and drills deep so his buddies can feast with his diamond-tipped drill and locking magno-feet. Augernaut features a 5mm port on each foot, a 5mm drill bit and a 5mm drill-grip on his back.

    Soda Jerks come in every flavor
    , from Caustic Cola to Mountain Doom. These aluminum cannibals are fearless when shaken up, swarming larger robots with no regard for their own safety.

    The idea is that they're vicious little scraplet-like critters that plug into/latch onto larger robots (Transformers in particular) to feed.

    This is probably the coolest Shapeways based idea I've seen ever.

    This is an awesome idea!! I also really dig the characters! Since these monsters seem bad/evilish any chance we might see good guy/pet friends in the future? These are definitely going on my shapeways wish list! No pressure but hope to see more!

    I'm open to all kinds of variations as time goes on.

    Also, I have all of them in a 3-pack, at a savings, if that helps.

    Kremzeek's long lost cousins. Speaking of whole, you need to make one of these guys inspired by him.

    Absolutely precious. If these came out in retail I'd buy them instantly.

    These critters are bursting with character (possibly literally, in the case of the Soda Jerks), and can work with a variety of lines beyond TFs. Keep up the amazing work, Trent--you've really come a long way as a modeler and designer! Can't wait to pick up my own sets!
