I like Vapour's overall look. I think his weapons look very cool, what with the 'Gali Mistika targeting piece' on the one weapon, and the sleek blades on the other. I like that you kept those Corroder blades on the arms too, helps identify the guy more.

The back is a little bare, though, and his chest looks a bit weak in my opinion. Perhaps if you added a black 'Super-Hero' chest add-on part it would improve the look a little. I also feel that with the orange lacking he looks a little plain. The original had a little of it, I think this should too. Perhaps the tubes could be changed back to the right color, or something else could be added on in the orange colour.

Other than that, it looks like a good revamp, and I look forward to seeing the others when they come :)

[The Mugbearer]

Those two look too identical.

[Takanuinuva]

Those two look too identical.

Thunder 2.0 and Vapour 2.0 do share some similar designs. But look at there original versions. They also share some similar designs. I wanted to keep that.

[Jetrax99]

Glad to see that Thunder I sold you went to good use, and I like how you made him roll into a.......sort-of ball.

[Cirkit]

Alright, new 'revamps'!

I'll try to be shorter with this one, haha.

While I do like Thunder's overall look, what with the 'Crusher Claw' and the Mata Nui blade on the back, and that head(still wish I'd picked the set up when I had the chance), his build is pretty much identical to that of Vapour's, even down to the placement of the shells on the legs. Again I say, add a black Super-Hero Torso Add-On piece and buff him up a little, or do something with the exposed balls on the shoulders. Otherwise, he looks the part, and that's all I can say about Thunder.

'Meltdown' however is a different story. I like the torso. It isn't just one piece slapped on, and gives him a hunched look while still being well armored. The Savage Planet part on the lower torso looks nice, discreet, and seems to fit well with the part on the back. Weapons are identical to how they were in the set, and I'm cool with that. Not a bad looking one, our Melty here.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with Xplode, whenever you get around to him. He's a personal favorite of mine :)

[The Mugbearer]

Thunder 2.0 and Vapour 2.0 do share some similar designs. But look at there original versions. They also share some similar designs. I wanted to keep that.

That's a fair intention. Just looked at the HeroSector, they really have very similar structure. I guess I just wanted them to be a little more different.

On the other hand, I really like Meltdown and Corroder. Although they also share the pretty similar structure, you managed to keep the difference. For example, Corroder's leg joints, which do really fit him.

[Cirkit]

Must say that out of all of these, Corroder is my favorite. Captures the look of the original set very very well, and gives a little more fexibility in the lower legs than the set had before. The claw-shield things look identical to the original, and I like the back-mounted launcher.

Must admit, I was expecting something different when it came to Xplode. I do like that for the most part he keeps to the original looks, but there's something about that Drilldozer torso part that just makes him look... chunky. All the other basic details are there, and those look good, but the upper torso throws off the look a little for me.

I think there's only one left- Rotor? He's got to be an XL at least, so I look forward to seeing what you do with him :)

[MakutaDreadscythe]

Not gonna lie, I think the placement of the armour on Xplode's back could have been higher up. As it stands, from the front the silhouette from the spike armour makes him look fat. The Drilldozer torso also seems a tad out of place on Xplode. I'm sure he was a bit skinnier before.

[CabooseBM]

How you did XPlode's and Rotor's shin armor is pretty inspired, will have to try that out for myself.

[Kalmahiczek]

Rotor is the best in my opinion.

[MakutaNocturn]

Rotor is the best in my opinion.

Yep, I agree. All of the mocs aren't satisfying as a revamp but Rotor is the best.

[Mesonak]

I didn't really like XPlode or Thnder that much as revamps of their prior forms, but the rest are pretty good. Rotor and Meltdown are standouts, and Von Nebula is a masterpiece. I really love how you adapted him over this system.

[WARHEAD]

Yeah, I I've got admit, even though I don't really like the majority of these (just because they're extremely bland, not bad), Von Nebula has turned out very nicely. One thing that really stands out on the design though is the blue shells on the inner sides of his legs, I'd try to swap them out for black ones if possible. Rotor is pretty neat too.

[The Mugbearer]

Von Nebula's body is extremely short. He should have a normal body but hunch alot.

[Cirkit]

I almost take back what I said about Corroder. Von Nebula is... wow.

I think you've done a terrific job with rebuilding the criminal mastermind. All the features from the original set are there, including the pistons, which I am very impressed by, and you've managed to get more of that wonderful blue integrated into his build. I like how you pulled off the double-bone 'Fire-Lord' leg design, and his hunch.. well, it looks like a hunch. Really something, there.

Rotor looks a bit plain in comparison. Yes all the major details are there, but he looks like he could do with some armor. Maybe stick a boxy add-on armor piece to each of the legs, like ones included in the 'Voltix' set and beef him up a little. Otherwise, not bad.

This certainly has been an interesting week, hasn't it? I think it ended pretty well!

I would like to see you do more, if you so decide to.

Despite their simplicity, they are very cool and sleek.
