ATUM1

[iamded]

When I first saw CountBlockula's creations, I wanted to make something using that design scheme. So first off, kudos and credit to him for that. (I more or less based it on his Encounter Suit.)

Now, in my post-Apoc world (which you will be sure to see more of), there are 4 types of creatures.

Survivors; humans lost and desperate, trying to make their way in this hazardous new world.

The Mutated; humans and animals affected in strange ways by the radiation, pollution, tainted waters and various other hazards wrought upon this world. Some are harmless, feasting on snacks from deserted stores, others lethal and vicious, hunting for meat and attacking any stray untainted animal.

The Necrobots Creatures void of emotion, killing anything in their path to power. Secretly controlled by an insane mastermind, who build these cretins from top technology and long-dead corpses.

The Hunters Survivors who had a plan, who fought together, and who protected humankind. These are the humans who fight the horrors of this world, and make the city they live in a safe stronghold against the tainted and unclean.

Hence why this is called Anti Tainted Unit Mark one. It was originally called Anti Necrobot Unit Stage 1, but I changed it due to a not so pleasing acronym. 8-| Anyway, time for pics!

Oh noes! He escaped! :-P

I made several different weapons for him, to counter all the creatures he has to face every day.

More photos can be seen on my new flickr account here. :-D

Thanks for looking! Comments and criticism welcome!

I quite like the enginuity of people who build small detailed things as this :-$ (I can only do large scale war mocs [Look at my most recent Moc for proof])

My only gripe about this one is the crotch area, seems theres alittle something to be desired there (No pun intended! X-D )

But it just seems to go from leg to torso flat undersided torso, which is all I would complain about. Nicely done.

Nice to see some new creations from you!

First off, I've seen CountBlockula's gallery a long time ago and even have some of his pics saved for reference! I'd love to make a minifig in his style.

Good thing you caught onto that Acronym, ;-)

So I'm guessing Mark One is a Necrobot but for some reason he's not affected, or as affected by the evil mastermind and so is a chaotic good, or chaotic neutral character, right?

Nice weapon arsenal but if this is a real time storyline, then how will he have access to all these weapons?

If he is untainted I would think more white metal in the color scheme would be appropiate, since white stands for purity.

If he's supposed to be more like a minifig, don't you think he's a bit too tall?

Just some points to ponder.

Thanks for the feedback Brickmaster and MicVash! About the crotch area (8-|), I realise now I should have used a 1x2 grill piece, that would work better. Ah, hindsight is a wonderful thing. :-P

As for MicVash's question, all his weapons can, er, fold up into a convenient size. I don't know. Any suggestions? Okay, I know. He has different weapons for different tasks. For clearing away mutated foliage, he uses the flame-thrower and chainsaw (can be used in self defence too). For crowd/mutant control he uses the taser and shield. For defensive measures he uses the shield and heavy cannon, and for offensive measures he uses the heavy cannon and Tri-beam cannon.

He's not supposed to be a minifig, more a minibot. X-D Okay, here's his bio.

ATUM1

A robot built by a man of pure genius. Unfortunately, this man became so involved in his work, conducting experiments on himself, and even on corpses, he became completely insane. This was the man who created the Necrobots, and with this new hobby he disregarded his old, pure mechanical experiments as 'failures'. When the Hunters stumbled across this robot, they brought it back to their base, repairing it and upgrading it, reconfiguring it to their cause. Still made out of the dark metal it's creator used, but reprogrammed to fight the later creations of it's master, and renamed, the ATUM1.

:-D I'll soon be posting the characters in this post-Apoc world, the different types of Necrobots, and the Hunter's mech.

This is pretty cool! And your presentation made me laugh! I love the breaking through the wall bit. Your weapons are pretty cool too. Good photographing too! *sweet* *y*

[Asuka]

A very fine work! *y*

A very ingenious moc. 10/10.

[ExoBuilder]

It's a great MOC but I've never understood how those type of arms stay in.

[iamded]

Thanks for the great feedback guys! :-D :-D As for how they stay in, this pic should answer your question;

Thanks to CountBlockula! *y*

Excellent, this explains a lot! Thank You! Like the background story! In your pics the weapons seem to look like they are fused with the arm, so possibly the weapon configurations are programed into ATUM1's arms and they simply transform at his will. After all, he is a work of advanced technology, so why can't he somewhat organically transform.

[iamded]

Yeah! Maybe he's made of a kind of 'living' metal?

Took that inspiration from WH40K's Necrons too. :-P

Lets just say the weapon blueprints and datacores are built into him, and he can transform his had into the weapons, all fancy like on Transformers. X-D
