The ‘Aliens’ Powerloader Is Adorable When Built With Legos
Next year we celebrate the 30th anniversary of James Cameron’s sci-fi/horror action masterpiece Aliens, the film that continued the legacy of Lt. Ellen Ripley. And to celebrate this upcoming event, artist Mark Nathan Willetts has designed a custom Lego Powerloader suit that also includes a cargo loader, both of which you can see in the video below.
Willetts designed this over the course of 3-months to present it to Lego Ideas as a hopeful new set. However, the set was, “…instantly rejected by Lego Ideas due to a related theme of violence.”
If you want specific instructions on how to build this yourself, you’re going to have to lend a helping (powerloader) hand. Willetts is asking for his YouTube channel to hit 10,000 subscribers, which is apparently the same number of votes it would’ve taken to on Lego Ideas to become a set. Once he hits that number, he’ll post instructions.
More photos of the Powerloader suit can be found here.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
