It’s always fun coming up with new themes for the Artbot competitions and given there is a new Kong movie that’s currently smashing up the US box office, I thought it would make a great theme for a competition. Those of you old enough to remember Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic Jurassic Park, will no doubt have spotted our homage to the dino monster marvel in our 4th Birthday image last week. Not only was it a great image; it tied in nicely to this week’s Artbot contest on the theme of Movie Monsters.

The Brief:

So, for this Artbot competition we want to see your fearsome movie monsters in Robot form. Your submissions can be any monster that has been committed to film; either live action or animated. Please note that shorts or TV series aren’t allowed; full-length movies only. The movie monsters can be anything from Abominable Snowmen and T-Rex through to Sharks and Vampires - so get your creative hats on and get building. Remember, you’re building a robot that must fit into one of the following five categories: [olist]

On two legs (humanoid monsters)

Motorized monsters (monster trucks, cars from hell, flaming motorcycles)

From the ocean deep (giant squid, massive sharks, Kraken)

Four or more limbs (giant spiders and killer rabbits)

Flying monsters (Mothra, Dragons, Flying Monkeys)
