Some of the more creative part use action I've seen in some time comes from Jerac. There is an interesting fusion of organic shapes and mechanical details; the end result could be nightmarish but the models still retain a whimsical look. Many LEGO-brand elements, such as the parrot from the Pirate line, have an iconic look to them. But when used out of context, the familiarity is lost, and very un-LEGO-like appearences is possible. Jerac seams to have figured this out and uses familiar parts to surprise us, the minifigure arms prolifically so in this case.

(olive) Green machines
There is yet only a small selection of parts available in LEGO's new olive green color. It lends itself well to military-themed creations, although anyone who follows my own creations elsewhere knows that I could care less for realistic drab color schemes. Above, Fredo does a nice quadruped. I like the cylindrical shape he has made with the 1 x 4 curved double slopes. Given the squareness characteristic of the medium, the model's curves seem surprising although it is is hardly a departure from with Fredo's previous work. Below, Carter uses the new color for a landmate. It has good feet. I can imagine the little auxiliary arms reloading the bullpup-style weapon.
Here's another quadruped/humanoid mecha combo with a relating color scheme, via Curtis and Pate:
