MOC: Blaster

[vexorian]

I am attempting to rebuild/revamp some of my favorite Slizers. So far, I rebuilt Electro, Flare, Turbo and Blaster. Though to be honest, Turbo and Blaster raised the bar (even though they are not great mocs, they are still better than the other two) so I plan re-revamping Electro and flare before releasing. Here is Blaster. Note that I took tons of "artistic" licenses (more of licenses than artistic) so my revamps are pretty insane or nonsensical in some parts.

Oh yeah, Blaster used to be the largest Slizer, but then things like the exo-toa and Brutaka started to appear on my display area and Blaster started to look small. The project to rebuild a bigger Blaster started. Ultra large gun? To me the wing part in his left arm in the original design was meant to be a blaster or something. Which made me go towards the big gun.

The legs, I like what I did there.

Weaponry. Sorry about the white stuff. It seems that dust is a mild issue only until you ask your brother to take close up pictures with his ultra high res cam in a place with "good" lighting. I was not aware of it until seeing the picture. The small missiles are meant to be shootable. Yes, there is a canon just inside the head, in part it is because of how slizer heads work and cooperate (or fail to cooperate) with the design.

Yeah, the legs work, it is fairy stable considering it is heavy and the Gun is way heavier.

Blaster is the only Slizer I own, and I'd say you've done a damn good job updating him.

The gun is the best bit, and I like the way you made it lookn almoist like an older version of Blaster, more mature, so to speak.

Great use of the car bit on the head. I really need to get building...

Fantastic! I love the overall silhouette of this guy, especially the solid torso build, gives it more of a "mechanized look" if you take that and the color scheme into account, he gets a real cool construction mech vibe. Liking the shoulder mounted missiles and large blaster cannon which, frankly, I'm surprised the ball 'n' socket joints can hold the cannon up as well as they do.

As a fan of the Slizer line, excellent job on this one, really pulled off that "slizer look".

Keeping an eye out for further Slizer mocs, I'd look at your previous Slizer mocs but for some reason I get the "[#10245] You are not permitted to view member profiles." error when tying to view profiles.
