lightningtiger Posted May 30, 2010 Just AWESOME 'slacker int' - love the details on this one dude ! Colours very Blacktron - perfect as the latest baddies in SP3 especially in the Raid VPR has a Blacktron logo on it's torso ! I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobaFett2 Posted May 30, 2010 Oh yeah, forgot to add: Space is cool. Blacktron is one of it's best factions ever. If combined with Exo-Force mecha, Blacktron would be my favorite theme released by LEGO ever. That's what you have done here. Thus, I love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corvus Posted May 30, 2010 Neat mech! I love it. The color scheme, the big cockpit, the arms, great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M'Kyuun Posted May 30, 2010 Nice retro look. I still hope TLG will resurrect Blacktron at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slacker int Posted May 30, 2010 Thanks for the positive feedback everyone, Im glad you like it! Neat mech! I love it. The color scheme, the big cockpit, the arms, great job. Nice retro look I'm glad you think I have captured that "retro" feel. That's what i was going for with this one using that big bubble cockpit and small simple arms!

M:tron engineer Posted May 30, 2010 You're already one of my favorite Space builders, and with this one you really outdone yourself. Love for blacktrons, great designs... what more can I say? very well done. This mech reminds me on some set from GI JOE(early90's), and one some B class SCI fi movies from early 50-70's. Do you mind if i "steal" your design(for private use only)You will be fully credited as well(I'll post link to your creations too)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slacker int Posted May 31, 2010 Thanks Krystal King and M:tron engineer! Do you mind if i "steal" your design(for private use only)You will be fully credited as well(I'll post link to your creations too)? Feel free to use whatever you like, Im glad to hear that my builds are inspiring. I always appreciate inspiration credit, but am one of those builders that strongly believes lego is about collaboration and "improving" or "borrowing"designs and techniques from other builders to create your own MOCs. I have always tried to emulate certain styles of other builders with my creations, asking my self how would ___ do this? I think these mechs would look fantastic in the classic space colours... maybe a blue mech with trans yellow, or gray with trans green. Or even the more recent exploriens colours of white, trans blue, and trans neon green, or Mtron with red/black/ and the same neon dome. Would love to see what you come up with!

M:tron engineer Posted May 31, 2010 Im not sure, that this one woud serve Mtrons as good as it does for blackies. Afterall Mtrons doesnt have military units(well, not in TLG lore), although it could be modified(instead one of those "claw/fingers I'd put magnet or at least make another arm and put it there) to fit into m tron theme.
