Meet Lego Gordon Freeman's Worst Nightmare

Even in Lego form, Half-Life 2's Combine Striders are terrifying. Sure, you could step on one of these guys with little effort, but the memories it evokes still make me shudder.

Martin Latta is the clever Lego engineer behind the creature, which you can see on his Flickr page, along with a totally wicked Terminator bust. He also has a gallery of Combine Strider pictures at Brickshelf that you can check out. Here's a full look at the sculpture -- now where's my Lego rocket launcher?
