Primus Posted September 10, 2017 I'm on a roll building stuff recently. This time, a I've managed to make a hard-suit for a TechnicFig who had no legs. Found him while sorting all of my parts and decided he needed a suit to make up for it. And yes, there's a TechFig in there! Brickshelf Gallery (when moderated) Hope you guys like him, C&C is appreciated! P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubbybots2 Posted September 11, 2017 The shaping on this is excellent! I love what you have done for the torso and feet! I just got those exact pieces from bricklink recently :D (Shin and shoulder armors) Not really that sure on the blue tubings though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mechbuilds Posted September 12, 2017 i have a soft spot for hardsuits. Excellent work! Great use of those spring parts. If i could rate mocs, i'd rate this 11/10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks a lot man! I liked the tubes as it added some more color to the MOC. The idea behind it was to make the MOC look more like a functional robot suit, but I can see where that might not have translated fully from idea to reality. Thanks for the comments!

ZORK64 Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Man, it's been a while since I've seen anything utilizing the Tech Figs. I always liked those, so it's cool to see them return in some way. I generally like the design of this MOC for how it blends elements from various series (if I'm not mistaken, I spot Hero Factory, Knights Kingdom and a bit of Ice Hockey in there?). Having also a Tech Figure in there is just icing on the top! Edited September 19, 2017 by ZORK64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having also a Tech Figure in there is just icing on the top! Same! Haven't build anything with them in so long, was happy to give him a proper set of legs. As far as the series used, there's a whole gamut of series in this guy (Hero Factory, Hockey, Knights Kingdom, Ben 10, Bionicle, System etc) which made for a really fun and interesting build! Glad you liked it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZORK64 Posted September 23, 2017 You're welcome! I recently also began to shift my focus from sentient robots (where I mostly build TF OCs by now) to mechs, so it's inspiring to see other people's takes on mech designs. On that note, how do you take Techfigs apart? I only know from my own experience that the legs and the head can be popped of (which reminds me, are there any other sockets that could take the Techfig-Head?), but it seems that some of your figs also lack the arms...

Arms have an axle with a ball shaped end so they can be pulled apart. Same goes for hands too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Tong (zfogshooterz) Posted June 7, 2018 The moc is pretty neat! It give a sort of unique toughness! The tubing are actually nice, they're quite striking. Does give the impression of power tubes! However, the toenails does look odd for their positioning, I would prefer the nail tips facing downwards but that's just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
