DraikNova Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) So, for a long time, there had been discussion about making a dragon for Macy here on the Eurobricks forums. I decided to see what I could do. Once I had figured out how to make the mace tail, it started to progress rather quickly, with the head and the main body being finished at the same time, after which it stalled while I tried to figure out the wings. Finally, though, it's done. This beast has 1400+ pieces, and is fully buildable. I expect the real life version to be done sometime in the summer. So here it is, Sir Chompsalot: Side view and size comparison: As you can see here, the legs have a great range of motion (using an internal gearing mechanism for friction), and the tail can be swung using the gear on the back. The little chest holds ammo for the two turrets. The mace tail tip is built around a LEGO Games die piece. The wing-rotors are built in more or less the same manner as the wheels of Jestro's Evil Mobile, and have a good range of motion. Two little blasters on the sides provide covering fire, and aerial assaults are handled by the dual six-stud shooters, which are mounted on turntables on castle turret pieces and can be manned by squirebots. As you can see here, Macy can sit either in the cockpit or stand on the dragon's head. Either place has storage for her mace and shield. Both the upper and the lower jaws of the dragon can move, and in general are supposed to resemble some kind of trash compactor. The forehead can hold a nexo power and the throat has a space to attach 2x2 round bricks for a flame/heat ray effect. The eyes are supposed to resemble giant versions of those the squirebots have.

DuckBricks Posted February 21, 2016 Very nice! Would really like to see how this looks in the brick. I'm not too sold on the head, but it is castle-like. Unrelated, but I assume you got both the name and the bulldog appearance from the Ninjago animal by the same name? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted February 21, 2016 No Ninjago influence in this one. I just thought of the head as one of the first concepts, and when the time came to name it I thought it sounded appropriate. I don't remember and can't find a Ninjago animal by that name, actually. Do you have a source? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamejutzu Posted February 21, 2016 Unrelated, but I assume you got both the name and the bulldog appearance from the Ninjago animal by the same name? :) The only bulldog in NInjago is the one in Skybound. Did you mean that one? Or perhaps the horned appearance of Jay's dragon? Anyways, nice "little" MOC you made here. Look forward to see if this is all.

Look forward to see if this is all. It's the bulldog belonging to the guy who watches over confiscated items for the police in episode 58 about 2 minutes in. Not sure if you've seen the new season yet, but it's a pretty funny coincidence that the bulldog in that episode is named Sir Chompsalot as well... :) Edited February 21, 2016 by legozebra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted February 21, 2016 I've seen it, but I hadn't noticed the name at all. Just a coincidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuckBricks Posted February 21, 2016 I've seen it, but I hadn't noticed the name at all. Just a coincidence. It's a pretty funny name, and I can see it was a coincidence... Just found it pretty amusing that they share names and physical characteristics. Anyway, nice MOC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hm, I never quite understood what he said during that part of the episode. I do vaguely remember the name Chompsalot though...
