moc [MOC] Droid Foundry Escape

[Oky]

This is my entry to the Brickset 2016 Star Wars competition where you had to design a set based on a specific scene that hasn't been represented yet.

Anakin, Padme, R2-D2 and C-3PO have infiltrated the Separatist droid foundry on Geonosis and are ambushed by the Geonosians! Pull the pins to shut the door and drop the heroes onto the conveyor belt. Turn the wheel to move the conveyor belts and help them escape through the assembly line! Watch out for swinging robot arms, stomping presses, and chopping blades! Use the swiveling robot arm to assemble the droids. C-3PO has lost his head! Attach R2-D2's rocket boosters and turn the knob on the tower to have him fly to the rescue! Rearrange the assembly modules to create your own foundry layout.
Includes Anakin Skywalker, Padme, R2-D2, C-3PO, one Geonosian with stud shooter, and 4 battle droids.

You can see video demonstrations of the Technic functions here and here.

Here is the scene from the movie for reference:

I hope you like it. May the force be with you and have a happy new year!

Awesome! It really could be an official set (even if it's better than what Lego would do...), and it's quite movie-accurate! Congrats!

[MaceWindu]

Fabulous design! The usage of the hoses is great.

May the force be with you in this contest...

Like the Technic functions 

[Richpepperell]

I think this is fantastic and also believable as a genuine set. It reminds me of the Indiana Jones Temple of Doom set from a few years ago or some reason. 

[VaderFan2187]

Oh and the contest just closed recently. Can't wait for results.

[Cyh Naan]

Awesome ! Lot of nice details.

[VaderFan2187]

Contest results will be announced mid-January! 

[Mesabi]

Really nice MOC. I really like all the functionality you built into it. Where'd you get the Custom chromed C3PO? I'm curious

[Aethersprite]

I've never thought of using that technique to give R2 his rocket boosters, I love it!

[Oky]

Thanks everyone!

I'm glad you think so! Making it look good and like a real set is what I was going for, and the Temple of Doom set was actually given as an example for how this set should look (along with the Toy Story Trash Compactor escape which I borrowed a few parts from for this).

It's not custom. It's not even C-3PO actually. It's the TC-14 promo fig. Custom parts were not allowed in the contest.

I've seen most of the entries so far and I've got to say that this looks good enough to make the top 3!

[npgcole]

Woaah. I like this. A lot! I wouldn't think twice about buying a set like this! Best of luck in the contest.

Looks great!

You should be proud, it looks awesome and has some great play features.

Kind regards, Ellis.

[VaderFan2187]

Congrats @Oky!! You got 2nd place
