EpsilonEta Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Speaking of freebuilds I decided to post one of my own. Over 4 years ago I made two MOCs that had a very MANTIS color to them. I still have them and since I can't use them for weekly builds I thought I would just go ahead and post them as a freebuild. Some old pictures and text from my mocpage. The Manticore I call it the Manticore because it sounds like "Mega Core" as it is meant to look like the 6989 Mega Core Magnetizer. The M-tron set I never had but always wanted as a kid. The name is also fitting as it is an hybrid of several sets, at least it have the steering and suspension from the 8858 Rebel Wrecker, my favorite Technic set. It have room for five minifigs, suspension on all six wheels and 4-wheel steering. The Scorpion (fitting name consider there significance in AG) Not much to say. This was one of my first MOCs as an adult. The idea was to make a threaded vehicle that could drive on all sides. Quote
rodiziorobs Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 We accept your defection, effective immediately Some pretty cool designs, I quite like the cockpit of the Manticore--fitting name btw, both for its namesake as well as MANTIS. Quote
SpacerSteve Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) You beat me to the mega core magnetizer redesign. The design and suspension is wonderful. Both vehicles are excellent. You would have made an excellent MANTIS soldier. Edited October 3, 2015 by SpacerSteve Quote
EpsilonEta Posted October 3, 2015 Author Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) We accept your defection, effective immediately Thanks! Do I get access to the private PM group? I promise not to be a double agent I'm happy that three MANTIS players already approved of the design. I can still make MANTIS vehicles in the future, for Raven to steal or blow up (but maybe some other guy will join MANTIS soon keep a look out) Edited October 3, 2015 by EpsilonEta Quote
LegoMathijs Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Both vehicles looks great! well done Like the use of Technic pieces in the Manticore. The Manticore reminds me of the MTron Core Magnetizer Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Awesome ships! You certainly could have used them in a weekly build, but wow! Awesome job! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Brick Capone Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Wow.. these are awesome. Look at those designs. They don't only look good, but work great too. Very cool and efficient. Quote
A Gallifreyan Cat Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Now all we need are some lovely pictures of the workings of that steering and suspension. Quote
LittleJohn Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Awesome MANTIS vehicles! The Manticore is especially nice, I love those huge tires Quote
EpsilonEta Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Awesome ships! You certainly could have used them in a weekly build, but wow! Awesome job! ~Insectoid Aristocrat I thought we couldn't use old stuff in our weekly builds. At least not things that have been posted elsewhere more than 3 years ago. I know you used some builds from Mafia but then you tock time from AG to make them. Those where built long before AG. I know Bob have made spaceships that could be used for Kawashita. Could he then use them too (with a photoshoped extra Ocran ship docking or attacking) or do you have to have the model still put together? Maybe we should clarify the rules about this? Now all we need are some lovely pictures of the workings of that steering and suspension. I did include an animated gif of the suspension and this picture kind of show both Then I found those on my old brickshelf Edited October 11, 2015 by EpsilonEta Quote
