According to the Novels, only ACUs and SACUs are human piloted, but the Fatboy does indeed have a command center for human pilots, but it can also be remote controlled. (Source: Echoes of the Seraphim) (Book 3)

Ya acus and sacus are the only human units in supcom. It makes the idea of ras sacu spam pretty funny, you are bringing soldiers to the battlefield and telling them to just stand still and generate resources.

Unless you ever see a fatboy poop a SACU my point is still valid.

i second the blue. i mean think of the lego players they'll see this and go : "oh my god, that looks ghastly, get that surreal amount of dark gray out of my face!"

And I wouldn't blame them.

But I do love the result. Just please for the love of supcom give it a team color.

205 000 registered.
51 000 players ever logged in.
62 000 steam linked.
16 000 unique online players in the past 30 days.

Well,

After checking many time in the game, Fatboy is most grey with only few parts that change with player's color. So I don't think it requires to be all blue!
Yeah I know that only ACU has a lifeform inside in SupCom universe, but as I explained in the description, I didn't want to let this empty and choose to custom inside as I thought it could be. That only makes the build set better to play with to me!

LEGO Ideas got a real impact and got an entire program about submission and third party copyright, so I do believe they could release it if it's chosen in review. We could only know if it reaches 10k supports though!

Anyway, thanks for reply and your advice, it's still interesting!

This is a very nice construction.

However it has 2 flaws:
1. The color This needs to be UEF blue.I know the lego bricks are not available in all colors, but the regular blue should fit in here.
2. The command center. While this is a nice gimmick, from my understanding in the SC universe the only unit with a lifeform inside (apart from civilians) is the ACU.

Due to copyright and trademark constraints I do not believe Lego will ever accept this submission.
Alternatively you could publish the blueprint on specialices moc pages like https://moc.bricklink.com/pages/moc/index.page

LEGO Ideas Fatboy

2019-05-18T13:45:36+02:00

Hello guys!

I create this new topic today to present to you a personnal project that needs support!

Indeed, I’m working on a project for months now and it consist to reproduce a UEF Fatboy in LEGO bricks and then propose it in LEGO Ideas program.

What does it mean?

It means that if my project is supporting by at least 10,000 persons it might have a chance to be released by LEGO. Then anyone could get his own Fatboy in LEGO bricks! Awesome isn’t it?

I’m not fool, I know not everyone will accept to support me, especially when it requires to take few mins to create a LEGO Ideas account… but still! So if you could just talk about my project to your friends, family, SupCom or LEGO fan and people with huge notoriety in SupCom community with sharing this link, maybe enough persons will support and even share this project to make it come true!

You will find the link of my project down below :

https://ideas.lego.com/projects/1c33817d-e25d-4993-9ba2-d448e00fa9c9

Anyway, I really thank you for taking the time to read me and to all FAF community that keep this awesome game alive! Please, keep going and never stop!

Best Regards,

Althis974.

NB: I’m French, so I apologise if my English isn’t perfect and I hope it is understandable!
