UsernameMDM Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) The Crystal King has been dethroned. A mighty usurper now rules the underground kingdom with four clawed fists. Can anyone or anything ever defeat this deadly new nemesis? Here's my take on a four-armed rock monster. The Crystal King was looking kind of wimpy, so I thought his days as the king were at an end. Not too terribly sure I like the sword and horn fingers, but I haven't figured out what to replace them with. Also wouldn't mind replacing the black robot arm fingers with either dark bley or pearl light bley (all I had on hand was black).

user Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Wow no comments on this behemoth? He looks fantastic! The use of troll swords is perfect and I really like how you did the whole four arms thing it does look very menacing. He definitely looks like he could shred the crystal king into bite sized pieces in no time! Great work! Edited July 28, 2010 by computerbug Quote
Forresto Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 This dude does'nt just eat crystals for dinner, he eats whole rock formations Really nice job and I especially like the four arms! Quote
prateek Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Holy crap, this is Crystal King on steroids! This is impressive! Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 The rock monsters answer to Ben10's 'Four Arms' ! AWESOME monster 'UsernameMDM' - just what every child needs ! Great work and I'm a conformist! 'UsernameMDM' I'm a conformist! ! Quote
squidman85 Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Amazing!I very like rocky relief on him-much better than on Crystal King.The only thing,that i don't like is the legs.They are very similar to king's legs. Quote
Carbohydrates Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I like it a LOT! But, I must say, I liked it more in the first photo when I saw two arms on one side and one on the other, before I realized he had a fourth tucked away there. In other words, I kinda liked the idea of a slightly asymmetrical beast, as if mutated to that size with a couple of side effects. It looks great either way, honestly. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 The rock monsters answer to Ben10's 'Four Arms' ! And to a lesser extent, to General Grievous That's truly one menacing monster - an embodiment of brute force. I could just imagine how it "Alpha-male growls" ala-King Kong. Great job on this 'UsernameMDM'! Quote
UsernameMDM Posted July 31, 2010 Author Posted July 31, 2010 Thanks for the comments everyone! MantaMan - true that the upper legs are similar, but I used a ball joint instead of a click hinge for the ankle/lower leg and completely changed the feet. More posable and nowhere as goofy/clunky looking as the Crystal King's feet. Carbohydrates - I thought about doing this except he would have normal shorter hands, one bladed/clawed upper arm and one hammer/club/boulder upper arm. Quote
Batbrick Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Very neat monster usernameMDM! The four arms and various protruding spines really give an exaggerated, threatening look that the poor Crystal King lacked. I agree with you on the black joints, I think if you manage to replace them with grey ones it will look nice, but as it stands this is a terrific creation, my only beef is that the back is a bit bare. The front however, has a lot of menace and I love how you've spread the green colour around. Batbrick Away! Quote
Andeh Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Fantastic! I prefer this more than the original Crystal King. I like the use of swords for claws, which although great, was already used by Matt Stafford for his Crystal Master. I personally prefer your modification more than Matt's but advise you that if you did get ideas from Matt, you should give him some credit. The swords behind the Crystal Revenger head also is great along with the use of the lovely neon-green rock pieces. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/156207 Edited July 31, 2010 by Andeh Quote

I guess I was inspired by both the Crystal Master and the Gormiti Kolossus. And actually a little bit of kaiju. Quote
KristofBD Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 you would not want to mess with this guy! Great job! Quote
shadowreaperx Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Where'd you get so many swords I would love to have that many...I'm jealous! Weakly enough, I only have one, the one in the Indiana Jones Ambush In Cairo set because I, for some reason, never really 'needed' castle troll sets... Quote
Cinderbike Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Wow. The crystal king looks lame compared to this. Quote
Cancerkitty Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Awesome build. The poor crystal king didn't stand a chance. Quote
brickmack Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Cool. Seems a bit short though, but I suppose it makes up for it with the claws and 4 arms and stuff. Nice use of the swords for the claws also. Kinda reminds me of one of the monsters in Doctor Who that eats people when there is a paradox. Can't remember what they are called though... Quote
