, which is a discovery and promotional platform for projects that could one day be made into actual, real-world Lego toys.

Before Lego brick designers will consider the project, however, it needs to attract 10,000 supporters. Just two days after being published, Clark's design has 550 supporters. The campaign closes in one year, so there is still plenty of time for that tally to grow.

The minifigure you see in the Civilization: Beyond Earth Worker Mech set is based on a worker who, among other things, builds quarries and digs mines using a front-end loader. The set, if approved, would include one minifigure (with an optional female head), one front-end loader mech, a Firaxis sticker for the bucket, and printed instructions. There would be 187 parts in all.

"A big shout-out to all the folks at Firaxis who kept the secret and helped collate the parts correctly in each set," Clark wrote. "It's great to work for a company that buys you Lego as a present!"

MWEB GameZone writes: "Civilization: Beyond Earth is a turn-based strategy game developed by Firaxis and published by 2K Games. The game sets itself apart from previous Civilization titles via a futuristic setting, breaking the chains of history to evolve into something spectacular. Firaxis reaches for the stars and achieves greatness by delivering a game of grand-strategy so immensely satisfying and addictive that it might just be alien in nature."

In 2012, Firaxis Games released XCOM: Enemy Unknown, a reboot of the classic sci-fi strategy series, and quickly followed it up with a massive expansion (and rerelease on consoles) called XCOM: Enemy Within. Although little evidence has been seen to suggest a new entry in the series, 2Ks interest in pursuing the title as a franchise can be found in The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, a first-person shooter set in the same universe, which flopped. However, a series of job listings at Firaxis indicate that the failure of 2K Marins take on the franchise may not have dissuaded a continuation of the series.
