We all know that Legos are awesome. That's a given, something innate, which isn't worth noting, even if someone does something way cool like building a Colonial Viper out of Lego bricks. However, when someone goes out of their way to mod a Lego figure, giving it an oscillating LED so it looks just like an classic Cylon… well, the wow factor reaches a whole new level.
Mark Marquez and Rob Hendrix created this amazingly sophisticated figure, a submission for our Make a Cylon Contest that we're co-hosting with Make Magazine. Check out the gallery below for some more views of the littlest Cylon. It's easily the coolest Lego figure we've seen — anyone want to try building a Raider to go with it?
Oh and the contest is still on, of course! Check here for full rules and submission process. Keep those entries coming — we'll take all the Cylons you can throw at us until June 13. So say we all.

That is an awesome Cylon! Looks just like the ones from the old tv show. Too cool!

Most Excellent! I believe we'll need to talk to Traveller's Tales about making Lego Battlestar Galactica Video Game!
