bluegargantuaHi,
So this weekend, I got a chance to play Mechaton by Vincent Baker. In fact, I got to play with Vincent and while I was betrayed out of victory in the end, I at least had the satisfaction of destroying one of his mechs with a flamethrower and using my sensors to light up a second mech that was pretty much slagged by the artillery barrage of another player.
So if you've got some Legos and you want to build big fighty robots and have a fast, fun game, you should check this out. The link above takes you to a page where you can pick up the original playtest ruleset. He now has a cheap PDF out with a more polished set of rules and he's hammering out a campaign game and posting the results of his playtesting via his blog.
Smashy robot fun!

(Except that I don't own "some" Legos . . . )

"I dash out from behind the coffee and take cover next to the brownie!"
"I hit you with the sniper rifle! *roll* crap!"
"HA! The brownie soaks up the incoming fire!"
"Yeah, but you have to lose a brick now."
"Fair enough. *bite* Oh noes! My delicious cover degenerates!"
