[TC7] Bandits - The Mayhem

[syclone]

Good day everybody on Eurobricks!

Today I am proud to present my [TC7] entry - The Mayhem

In normal mode it looks like a normal racing truck and you even can thieve an enforcers trailer and transport it to whatever you want.

In battle mode it transforms into a rocket launch site and you can launch a missile from it onto the Enforcers Base. :devil:

Also in normal mode you can defense yourself with the HBDS - Hidden Basic Defense System .It shoots two darts from under of one 5x11 panel.

This model is mostly built from the 42008 because of the color scheme .

My original idea was an Enforcers buggy which transforms into a F-22 which can fire missiles but unfortunately I didn't had all the necessary parts in white and black (even the grey didn't helped to me ) ,so the lego pieces decided everything for me

When I was building this model I decided to use Mindstorms NXT ,but then there wasn't sufficient free space in the truck so the Power Functions started their work in this model.Now It has motorized rear wheels driving and fake v6 using an m-motor powered from an AA batter box and PW switch.Also it has LEDs in front powered from the same battery box.

Also it has some nice details like: horns on the roof , steering wheel with detailed dashboard , a chainn in the rear , number plate...

A very impressive truck. I love the side shooting missiles. Great use of 42008 panels they look like they were designed for this truck. :thumbup:

Perhaps you should do something about removing parts from the truck (gear and axle with stop) and getting them back, at the first few seconds of the video, as its forbiden to remove parts and place them back in transformation process. Nice entry, i like the color and transformation, kinda like mine :) Good luck.

I agree with Milan. I see you are removing parts from the vehicle in the end as well. Removing and addings parts is not allowed. I think you still have enough time to fix it.

Sorry , I just forgot about that part I'll try to fix that.Also,can I use the long pin with stop bush and remove it halfway or I should change something?

Thanks ,as I said before I just forgot about that axle.

Thanks for the comment! About side shooting missiles : with my first(failed) attempt of a car for the enforcers the missiles were using the same mechanism but shooting from under the hood.

Removing parts isn't allowed, so please try to fix it.

(this might seem like nitpicking, but I feel you have time to change it)

If I were you, I would make a new video. To avoid confusion and comments.

[syclone]

Changed the mechanism ,re-making the video.At the moment small demo video.

[MacKaiwer]

Cool design and nice firepower I like it very much

Thanks for nice words!

I'll make a video showing the range of firepower of both systems.

This contest is starting to heat up. It's great to see the transformations everyone is coming up with, and yours is no exception. Good work!

Thanks , but I would like to see mine motorized ,but there isn't space for that

Make external powering/motorizing section And camouflage it as a spoiler, cargo box, oil cooling box or something.

[syclone]

I'll try to make an additional section to my truck for make that possible, thanks for the idea!

EDIT: I just discovered that there is sufficient space for an NXT in the cab but there isn't space for motors.

Edited July 31, 2015 by LXF

[Milan]

How about making a sleeper section behind the cab? Sleeper section can probably house pf motor, receiver and bb. Then, cab can still elevate and fire, while the sleeper is stationary.

[syclone]

I would be good but I don't have PF receiver

Also the problem is in the parts I have- no more green,only few pieces of different green and other colors

Maybe I'll try that later , but now I will left as it is and progress on other projects.
