MoralWarfare Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) So I've gotten into Mobile Frame Zero recently, and have had a blast getting some actual building done. I've only churned out a few frames so far, but once a rather large PaB order comes in, I'll be making some squads. First up, the Super Chub, an obvious riff on Soren's original Chub design. Super Chub (XKR-27 Artillery Cannon equipped) by HatRabies, on Flickr Emphasis with this build was on articulation, and it manages to articulate pretty well! Super Chub (articulated feet) by HatRabies, on Flickr As seen in the first picture, I've made a few different systems for this frame. Here are a few more. Super Chub Flight Equipment by HatRabies, on Flickr A rear shot of the flight equipment. I was pretty happy with how the thrusters came together. High Mobility Unit (rear) by HatRabies, on Flickr Super Chub Siege Equipment by HatRabies, on Flickr Next up is a much smaller, more nimble frame. The Sprinting Ghost. Sprinting Ghost & Pilot by HatRabies, on Flickr Shown above in a small vignette with its pilot standing in front of it. I was definitely channeling some Macross influences with this one. SRM-79 "Sprinting Ghost" by HatRabies, on Flickr And here is an optional melee variant of the same frame. Sprinting Ghost Slasher Equipment by HatRabies, on Flickr And finally, a frame build for a challenge presented. The requirements were to use no taps, pneumatic T's, or Travis bricks. Introducing the Nightingale. RTK-7 Nightingale by HatRabies, on Flickr I hope you guys enjoy these, I've certainly had a blast building them and cannot wait to build some more!

legomr Posted July 18, 2012 Impressive. I can't even begin to say what I admire most: The simple, yet effective body/front shield, the extraordinary articulation, the sidearms... a true orgasm in robotics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Nice bots here! Good use of pieces too! EDIT: 500th post! YAY! Edited July 18, 2012 by DraikNova Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HawkLord Posted July 19, 2012 These look amazing. Lego should really pick-up something like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xand0r Posted July 19, 2012 Awesome stuff! Great articulation, as you say. Keep up the great work! Incidently, Lego has lost my online order where I ordered a bunch of bricks just so I could make some Frames... and so I wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mugbearer Posted July 19, 2012 Woah! Awesome MOCs. The first frame is so impressive! And, in scale of Microfigures, will look great (however more like exoskeleton) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted July 19, 2012 Brilliant Mechs, the flexibility of them is impressive The super chub is my favorite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtleman2020 Posted July 19, 2012 Awesome! You have skill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted July 19, 2012 The super chub's weapon is awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarthNick Posted July 19, 2012 Wow! These are just fantastic... I have such a strong desire to go and build some now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Si-MOCs Posted July 22, 2012 Awesome frames. The posability is incredible. I have yet to actually play the game, but seeing awesome builds like this makes me want to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agrof Posted July 23, 2012 So small, and so great are they! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rongYIREN Posted July 23, 2012 These are some excellent MFZ frames but I'd have to say the 'Sprinting Ghost with Slasher Equipment' and the 'RTK-7 Nightingale' are by far my favorites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoralWarfare Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the comments, all! I'll definitely be building some more once my PaB order arrives! It sure is taking its sweet time, I'm getting antsy to start building some more! rongYIREN, those two are my favorites as well! While I love the Super Chub, it was nice to build something completely my own, as opposed to basing it off others builds. My building skills might be a bit rusty, but MFZ is definitely dusting those off a bit. I appreciate all the comments!

Xand0r Posted July 26, 2012 My PAB order arrived today! Woo hoo! I'll be making some sweet frames tonight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ceroknight Posted July 27, 2012 Wow that's brilliant! Nice piece use that results into great posability! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xand0r Posted July 28, 2012 I'd love to see some pics that show the brick breakdown. Then I'll need to order a few pieces that I lack! The articulation is just too nice to pass up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
______ Posted July 28, 2012 Wow, I love these, thoguh I'm not familiar with the game the mechs themselves look awesome! I can't believe how much articulation they have for something so small! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoralWarfare Posted August 20, 2012 I'd love to see some pics that show the brick breakdown. Then I'll need to order a few pieces that I lack! The articulation is just too nice to pass up. Sorry for my recent absence! I was waiting on a rather large PaB order that took its sweet time. I've had enough requests for breakdowns that I'll be putting some up this week. I'll make sure to post them here when its all said and done. So once my PaB order arrived, I went straight to building the rest of my company. Here's how the group stands right now. Super Chubs by HatRabies, on Flickr Super Chub Marines by HatRabies, on Flickr Super Chub Marines by HatRabies, on Flickr Sprinting Ghosts by HatRabies, on Flickr And a shot of the whole gang. I need a bigger lightbox! The whole company. by HatRabies, on Flickr And today I figured I'd try my hand at a quadruped for the first time. Not entirely thrilled with it, but it could have turned out worse!

Bob De Quatre Posted August 20, 2012 *snip* And today I figured I'd try my hand at a quadruped for the first time. Not entirely thrilled with it, but it could have turned out worse! *snip* I totally agree, it could have turned worse... I love your designs, I even couldn't figure how some parts are linked together! Very nice work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted August 20, 2012 Those are some awesome new bots! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoralWarfare Posted August 20, 2012 Thanks, Bob De Quatre! So someone pointed out to me that the color change of the quadruped was perhaps a bit harsh, so I made this small change. VX-97 Spider Ghost by HatRabies, on Flickr Thoughts? Better? Worse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted August 20, 2012 None of the above, just different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
