Cute walker. The pod does well for Blacktron II colors. The click hinge attachment for the cannon is great.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of the X-pod series before, which is strange because I started collecting Lego around the time it was released. What you’ve made of it is quite compelling.

I like the portal gun reuse - always happy to see that part more. Asymmetry for the antennae is a nice touch as well, makes it feel more like a Blacktron build.

Nice! You have managed to integrate the pod into the Blacktron MOC perfectly. It always makes me happy to see some fresh ideas for iconic subthemes like Blacktron.

I never liked Blacktron 2 color scheme

Cool use of the X-Pod piece! The walker design is simple yet elegant. The ground build is great too.

Thx! Yeah, pod parts were in my drawers for a long time. But finally come to life :)

Thx! I am glad you noticed those details :)

Thx! Blacktron always in my heart! :) I am building another MOC in this theme atm :)

I hadn't commented here yet?

Smooth build, fits wel with the landscape. Infact, I'd say the pod is even beautiful. Not words normally associated with Blacktron of whatever kind or type.
