Vig: Battle of the Power Suits

[purpleparadox]

"Lex Luthor has invented a gun called "The Deconstructor". Powered by Kryptonite, it can tear apart any shiny black objects. With his gun and a power suit, Lex is wreaking havoc on Gotham! I have to go stop him."

I was looking at my minifig pieces and noticed: Galaxy Patrol armour-dark blue, Batman fig- dark blue! It seemed like a match made in heaven.

So, of course I had to show this Batman variant off by having him fight the other "suit of armour" character I have. Donning a suit of blue armour (so it doesn't get torn apart), Batman went to stop Lex.

Lex's point of view (kind of):

Batman's point of view:

Without any figs:

And, probably the most interesting part, the pics of "Super-Armoured Batman":

Well, there's my tablescrap for the day. I guess I have my new Lex minifig on the brain! Thanks for looking! Comments and criticism are always welcome.

I'd say ! Nice vig. If you were to get a title, it should be like "likes Lex armor" or something like that. I like that Batman too!

Batman meets Ironman

I love this! Super cool!

Ha! Looks like Wayne has been spending time in R&D with Lucius Fox at Wayne Enterprises.

Thanks guys! The vig wasn't too detailed...I just built it to show off the minifigs. I really do like the Batman-in-bulky-armour look.

Good idea

The figs look great and the vig sets them off nicely

Isnt the gun called the deconstructor, not debrickifier?

[Bilbo Baggins]

Pretty cool use of the Galaxy Patrol's awrmour.

I could've sworn it was the debrickifier... Looks like I need to go re-watch that cutscene.

Oh man! Now I know what that Galaxy Patrol chest piece reminds me of. Frank Millers The Dark Knight Falls. I like it!

This looks awesome. I was just looking at my minis and noticed how many of the armor I had and tried to figure out what to use them for. Ideas aplenty now!

Nice! Actually an excellent idea for batman I just got another galaxy patrol, so my batman can have armor. It's a pretty neat idea.

I've done the same thing but since I'm a bit of a perfectionist and thought the galaxy symbols looked out of place I had look online and found a way to remove them all you need is a bit of brasso a bit toilet/kitchen roll and some soapy water to clean off the brasso works amazingly fast

Glad to give you a bit of inspiration!

I thought about removing them (and I'd be fine with it, I'm no purist), but seeing as this armour is most useful in Sci-Fi MOCs I left them on there.

Speaking of armored Batman, I was playing the game last night and noticed that the Power (Explosive) Batman suit has some pretty unique pieces in its digitally rendered minifig. Sure, right away you notice the huge yellow/orange bomb handler 'gloves,' but upon closer inspection I noticed he's got this really cool Bat-Helmet thing going on. It reminded me of the Superman-Buster armor Batman wore in the original Dark Knight miniseries.

That'd definitely make a really cool fig, perhaps in next year's wave. Your armored take definitely reminded me of it.

I saw that too! Playing the game is making me want some different Robins too. The Acrobat Robin is pretty funny. I just can't wait til September to check out the Electro-Suit Batman!!

Great work on the vig. I know what I'm doing when I get home! I love the flames too!! Just like the game!!

What's September?

I'm mad that them made robin only able to double jump in the Acrobat suit. And he has a Bo Staff in the suit. Too bad you can only get the Blue/White in the Custom Character Vault.

What's September?

The Batman Visual Dictionary. It's going to come with the Electro-Suit Batman fig!
