Decale Posted October 9, 2010 Well hello everyone, Afters months and months of significant and non-significant changes to it to find a good shape or the good part color, I'm happy to present you my first mech! The brave pilot with his machine, here in stand-by mode, cockpit opened, sitting down to allow easy access, in a not really impressive position. But suddenly it's time to join the battlefield! Sorry for the blurriness of some pics, I haven't domesticated this camera yet.... Anyways, you can see that this mech isn't a peaceful one: short-range machine-gun on the right arm (the gun is removable so it can be dropped when out of ammo or to grab other things with the three functional fingers), 2 missiles (which make like a big BOOM on their target, I'm not a weapon specialist) and a long-range hyper powerful laser canon on the left arm. Let's have a closer look on the left arm Smaller arms can be deployed, they are human size and can be used to pick smaller object. For example they allow the pilot to use minifig's guns (why would he do that knowing that he has a powerful laser canon? I dunno, ask him if you want). This wonder of technology is also able to fly when needed, but just for while, to access to the roof of a building for example. (yes those are flick-fire missiles, I love them ) If you hadn't noticed yet, this MOC is actually a (big) mod of 8100 Cyclone Defender, although there are hardly any remains of the skeleton of this cool exoforce set (legs and arms, but the body had a few changes made). My first will was to make a close cockpit, and to use that big stickered part in an unusual way. What you see may be the 20th version of the cockpit, the previous one kept falling apart or didn't even close. I like how it turned out, with the use of this part, two being in snot and two normal, fitting perfectly together . I haven't decided if the big pointy things on the shoulders should be used as stabilizers for the flight or radar thingies... well, you tell me. It participates (with the bulkiness of the cockpit and armor) in the "F117 stealth plane" look I think. Bonus: a few days ago I bought the 8085 freeco speeder with this battle pack and made a cool little ship mixing them together: Some more pictures can be found here. Id like to create more vehicles and minifigs in this "theme", in the same colors, maybe some bad guys etc... If you made it down here, thank you! And don't forget to comment, advise, criticize and ask some questions BEWARE of the Robot-Dog and his friends! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted October 10, 2010 Very cool mech! It looks like the small Exo-Force mechs. I like how you used the white lift arms for "wings" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted October 10, 2010 Looks good, though I think the arms and thighs need a bit more mechanical 'muscle' (bulk it up a bit more). Anyway, that's a good starting point and you could still further improve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Decale Posted October 10, 2010 Thank you prateek! KielDaManI , think the best thing I could do to improve it would be to use white or gray parts instead of those dark green bionicle ones... I was also thinking about using some of the cool parts of the "construct a Buzz" (such as the "hybrid" brick/ball joint parts) but I can't decide to take it apart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
