Trademark issues with the "BrikWars!" poster demanded the creation of a new BrikWars cover image, and so I racked my brains to think of icons with fewer legal protections. The Nega-Bloktrix came first, but like all clone brands, was ultimately unsatisfying. This second attempt fared much better.

From BrikWars.com:
"[Introducing] the Dread Pirate Two-By-Two, the Burning Brick, the most violent 2x2 block the world has ever seen! So barbarically incorrigible, even Mega Bloks wouldn't take him; he's cursed to sail the seas forever, raining death and destruction indiscriminately across all brands of construction toys."

Thanks to its rare lack of trademark issues, Two-By-Two is the first BrikWars graphic to grace a marketable product, and made its debut on April Fools' Day 2005 on the "Thong of the Dread Pirate Two-By-Two." With sales figures already into the single digit, the Thong has sold more than two hundred and fifty times as well as the Nega-Bloktrix on your Dog doggy T-shirt.
