Actually Heath my friend, I think we didn't drink enough! Well at least this nightmare is finally over for me and to be honest I'm amazed I made it this far. As I look back at this last entry I can see where I fell short and understand the judges decision. Best of luck to all you valiant builders as you press onward to the final round!

Bummer you didn't make it through Mike....maybe we sipped too much of the whiskey in hopes. Still, you definitely have a wonderful build here and your opponent also has a great entry, so you shouldn't feel robbed.

Tough luck on not progressing Mike. As an interested spectator (i'll now face David!) I was keeping an eye on this one. While David's build was more classic Spy vs. Spy I really liked the changes you made and the fact you worked through a story to a fun conclusion too. Well done on a great build.

Tough call Mike, I think we did a great job pushing the judges to the wire there . I'll be honest I thought I was done for when I saw your grey spy, not only is she a great build, the grey spy normally wins. Maybe even the eternal laws of spy vs spy can be overturned in the MOC Olympics. I have Stuart up next by my reckoning, so I'll be on the side lines soon too.

Though choice, I liked both entries a lot, while I really like the flexibility of the figures I found that your opponent did a better job presenting the typical Spy vs Spy mood. He has my vote, great job though.

In times like these, there's only one drink that can calm your nerves.....Wild Turkey 101. Yes my friend, you'll forget your own name if you drink enough. MOC Olympics who? LOL

Haha, nice one! Best of luck!

Well this emotional roller coaster just took a crazy up-swing I honestly didn't expect to see. To the final judgement then we go and Heath, get me a drink. I know I'm going to need it before this madness is through!

Stupendous interpretation of the category! Though your build was a bit simplistic, the cleverness of your story, the expressiveness of your characters, and the abstract art-like base earned you my vote. It looks like its up to Sebeus to break the tie, so good luck, and I hope to see you in round 4!

I thought Stovetop was making a cameo, hehe ... excellent spy vs spy action!

Thanks guys. Hopefully the other two judges will feel the same way you do. We shall see.

The things I like the most are the surprise package and the base.

Not familiar with the comic, but the bots are seriously cute.

Thanks friend, but I think I may have taken my interpretation too liberally this time and shot myself in the rear with a missle or too! Well, I still have a slim chance left so we shall see.

LOL Excellent job Mike! I love how the gray spy uses her.....ummmmm...."wits" to outsmart the guys! A very classic cartoon, and a great take on the concept! Good luck with the judges!

My vote goes to your opponent. ~ Chris.

Femme fatale, indeed. Great fun and very well built. Good luck!

Haha, I like all of them!

Thanks everyone for your support! This had been a rough week to build anything and I know I took it to the wire. Well, we know what happens next so, tally ho!

Lovely! Look at my creation and rate it! http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/328869 You can contact me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GabrieleZanello E-mail: zanellog@live.com

Great take of the category! Nice 'fembot' reference, too. Good luck with the judges!

way to go Mike, those were the days...

Congratulations on a great MOC. I really thought that you were going to miss the deadline there. I don't think you will ave any problems with your interpretation either. My google research turned up plenty of takes on the theme which were still obviously Spy vs Spy, and this fits comfortably in that range. Besides you've got the grey spy, and who could argue with that. Let's sit back and let the judges do their thing :).

I love how that colorful package contrasts with the black/white/greys of the base plate and figs! This is a great build and it's going to be a close one between you and David! Best of Luck! :)

Those figures are really cool! Awesome parts usage they have some real style, and that base is wicked. I might have to remember that kind of design in the future. Good luck!

As far as I can tell my entry was submitted at 8:10 pm Pacific Stndard Time so I think I made the deadline, hopefully. After trying to build the actual characters in a scene I came to the stark conclusion that there was no way I was going to pull this off. My only option was to take a sharp left at Interpretation Lane and create my own version of the theme. Hopefully the judges won’t mind too terribly with the liberties I have taken with this one. In any event, at least I didn’t throw in the towel although I seriously considered it! Best of luck to all the contestants in the trials to come, hope to see you next round.
