DinoBot

[Corvus]

Now, I know that this mech has been up on my brickshelf for a while, but I thought that this mech deserved to get a proper introduction. So, I whipped out a camera, a blanket (it took forever to find a nice white one) and a few stools.

This is DinoBot- I know that's not a good name, and if someone has a better one, please, tell me.

DinoBot is made from the set 4507 Prehistoric creatures- you can tell his torso is made from the head of the T-Rex.

DinoBot is an Ecdon-B army prototype, the only one of his kind. The Ecdon-series is built to be customizable. Here, he is shown in a four armed version.

The Ecdon-B model is capable of powerful jumps, using his wings and burst-blast rockets.

Here is more examples of his flexibilty to suit any situation. The wings and head detach, giving him more advantage in the air and ground.

Here's his head. It's pretty simple, but it took a while to find something that I liked, even though the head doesn't turn.

Here's some of his armaments. This is a blade/shield for combat with enemy mechs.

Here's a cannon for enemies that refuse to come close.

Here are some other pics:

Run, HYT, run! *note- this isn't an exo-force MOC*

Well, that's about it.

Comments, questions, and constructive critisism welcome.

Enjoy!

EDIT: sorry about the pic size, a bit big.

Oh dear, I REALLY let myself go!

And what do you mean "its not a good name"?

[Corvus]

Oh, sorry. I meant for this guy, not you.

[Dino_Bot]

...right.... :-/

I wish I had the prehistoric set, I have the tricerastops one, but I gotta say, this one kicked butt. I wish I could have gotten it.

Very nice with a good color scheme too, but here is a short tutorial for resizing pictures.... :-)

[Corvus]

Thanks. *y* I need to remember that for future MOCs.

How about you practice with these now, and maybe even suceed and re-upload them to Brickshelf. Right now it's very hard to judge the MOC, and I have one of the larger moniters.

[Corvus]

Done. They're half the size.

Better? Or does it need to go smaller?

Damn, you beat me in building a transforming mech. |-/

He's cool, though. *y*

Normally we try to make the pics 800x600 (or 800xSomething for keeping the aspect ratio).

This way they fit nicely on most peoples monitors.

Here you can find a link to a "batch image resize" tutorial.

Seems like a very flexible design and the colors are just perfect.

The head is really well designed!

Was this built entirely within the Dino Creator set? I've always had an admiration for people who can make nice-looking MOCs within the confines of a single set! This makes me really want to purchase it now... 8-|

Wonderful parts usage, and some innovative building! I love the use of that trans neon-green cover for an energy blast

[Asuka]

Much better now!

I like the flexibility of this bot, especially that ground modus. Cool! *y*

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

Nice! I like it. Looks very cool. The customization feature is awesome! KUTGW!

SW4J: Almost entirely. There were one or three parts, such as the trans-green on the head and blaster, that weren't there.

You know, I never thought of doing a dinosaur themed mech. Good job.

[Corvus]

Nice! I like it. Looks very cool. The customization feature is awesome! KUTGW!

-ZotS

I like making it modifiable. More fun. BTW, what does KUTGW mean?

[iamded]

Keep Up The Good Work. :-P *y*
