Again, take a look at the
smaller image; it shows
how all of these pieces
fit together from the
front view of the drive
sub-assembly.
Inventing…
Customizing the Go-Rilla
The Go-Rilla’s center of gravity plays a very important role
in allowing him to move so quickly—however, this also
makes it one of the most difficult Droids in this book to
customize. Any additions to one side of the Go-Rilla will
have to be balanced out on the opposite side. For
example, if you add some facial features to the front of
the Go-Rilla, you will need to add something to its back
as well to compensate for the shift in weight.

Final Assembly
You are now ready to take all of the sub-assemblies you have made (the right and left leg sub-
assemblies), and attach them to the drive sub-assembly.
Final Assembly Step: Complete
Here is what the
Go-Rilla should
look like when
the final assembly
is complete.
Final Assembly Step: 1

Begin the final assembly by using a
#3 axle to attach the right leg sub-
assembly to the drive sub-assembly
as shown.

Final Assembly Step: 2
Use a #3 axle to attach the left
leg sub-assembly to the drive sub-
assembly as shown, and the Go-Rilla
is complete!

X-Stormer
227_LEGO_DSR_05.qxd 7/29/02 9:35 AM Page 95
The X-Stormer, a four-legged transport and combat vehicle, was a prototype of
what would eventually become the AT-AT. Imperial engineers worked for many
years to create the X-Stormers, but once the newer AT-ATs were introduced to
the Imperial Army, the X-Stormers were quickly phased out. However, many of
them ended up on the black market, where they were picked up by a variety of
interested buyers. Rumor has it that the Hutts own several of these surplus X-
Stormers, although what they intend to do with them is unknown.
The X-Stormer needs two rubber bands to make its head bounce up and
down as it jumps. We recommend small rubber bands like the ones orthodon-
tists use in dental work if you can find them.
Bricks & Chips…
Micro Scout Programs

You can use any of the Micro Scout’s programs with the X-Stormer.

Attach the 1x3 liftarms
as shown (all pointing in
the same direction). If you
want the X-Stormer to walk instead
of jump, put the 1x3 liftarms on one side pointing in the opposite direction from
those on the other side (i.e. pointing up on one side and down on the other).
