LEGO Dimensions MOC: Clay Moorington Fun Pack

A concept for a Nexo Knights pack for Lego Dimensions. It includes Clay Moorington and a Rumble Blade that can be rebuilt into two other vehicles.

I've done a fair number of Dimensions concepts largely because I adore the little microscale builds, but I'm still learning! This is the first model I've successfully designed two alt-builds for, and a big part of that was figuring out what sorts of parts are conducive to that. In this case, lots of SNOT parts were a must, 3x1 plates were preferred over even-numbered lengths due to the odd-numbered width of all three models, and I ended up using the CMF weightlifter's weights as wheels due to needing them to be bounded on both sides (for the bikes) and wanting to be able to use them as building elements themselves.

I wasn't really conceptualizing this from a gameplay perspective. Presumably, the first two would be ground-based vehicles (possibly with flight capabilities as well) while the third would be purely a flying vehicle. The second vehicle could probably use tow bars as well. Beyond that, I'm not sure how their capabilities would differ specifically. Clay, for his part, could probably reflect lasers with his sword and maybe could have some tech-related skills as well (such as using techno-panels like Benny or maybe even using his Squirebot as a drone like Doc Brown or Cybermen). In future models, it might be worth my while to consider adding parts to the base which can be used for elemental effects, like the 1x1 "electric" studs in the Delorean model from the Back to the Future level pack. As I said earlier, I'm still learning!

Obviously, there are some parts that could not be placed due to the limitations of LDD. The minifigure is almost entirely bare, but would include Clay's normal helmet, armor, sword, and shield in an actual product. I'm not actually sure what Nexo Power the shield would have—maybe a blue one with Clay's falcon emblem (possibly functional in the app, possibly just ornamental). If all the parts were included, the pack as a whole would be 47 parts, which is a fairly typical piece count for a Dimensions pack.

Comments? Questions? Feedback is much appreciated!

That's pretty good. I was thinking of ideas for Nexo Knights in LEGO Dimensions as well. (right now with me building on concept is Jestro and his mobile.) I was thinking with Clay, that he could be in a level pack with the other model being Merlok. Well, Merlok being a trans-orange mini statue and would have a nexo shield, for the first or second model being that any none Nexo character can use the Nexo Shield to do Nexo Knight power.

But anyways with your model, the first 2 models are really good looking, I like the use of those weights pieces for the wheels and the teeth piece fits very well. But the 3rd model look pretty...   goofy, mainly the front part.

Cool stuff! The third build is a bit goofy yes, but that's Dimensions. It could be different in-game too, they don't really care about that in Dimensions :grin:

Looks rad- nice work! My fingers are crossed for Nexo Knights in Dimensions. Would love to see more original content brought over!

I really like these - and not sure if it was intentional, but the third build really looks like one of the hover-trains from the TV series, which is cool!

I'm not sure where else to ask this because I can't really find any Lego Dimensions specific threads, but has anyone tried building the different world portals or gateways or whatever they're called?  I would love to build one for each to display but I can't get a good grip on what pieces are needed.

Try in there!
