[MOC] 31008 Stegotrodon

[AVCampos]

In the vein of HawkMech, here's another MOC built using parts from 31008 Thunder Wings.

I wanted to build a Stegosaurus-like dinosaur, but the parts wouldn't allow it, so I invented one, with a single row of dorsal plates and one pair of spikes in the thagomizer. As the plates are so tall and in a single row, it also reminded me of a Dimetrodon, hence this MOC's name being a mixture of the two.

The biggest challenge I faced was the tail: how to make something thin, centred, and able to oscillate side-to-side (for defence against predators), using this limited selection of parts? I managed it with some SNOT, and even so it ended up looking a little weird.

"I'm evolving, I'll be a biped!"

"When you gotta go, you gotta go!"

"Won't somebody pet my belly?"
