[MOC] Hero Factory Titan: Gigacranius

[TheOneVeyronian]

"So I was wandering around the enormous underground caverns underneath Makuhero City when, suddenly, I felt the ground tremble. And tremble again. And tremble again... I thought to myself that it couldn't possibly an earthquake. But... then I saw it. My first sighting of the legendary GIGACRANIUS, an enormous creature with a head as big as it's body and abnormally skinny limbs. As I looked up into it's enormous eyes glowing like a blue-hot fire, I thought it was going to attack me. But the creature just completely ignored me..."

Hello there, I would like to show a constraction MOC of mine, which, while it isn't my first MOC, it is my first original Titan. Meet Gigacranius:

Here's a close-up of the enormous head which inspired me to name it "Gigacranius"

Gigacranius features an all-inclusive Power Functions system which makes his eyes light up. The lights shine through trans-light blue 3M ball joints to give the impression of glowing eyes. These are toggled on and off by pulling and pushing the Technic lever which I am pointing at in this photo:

This is what Gigacranius looks like with the lights turned off and the jaw closed:

Now here's a couple of comparison shots showing the size of Gigacranius versus some other models (including the model featured in my avatar, which contains custom made HF parts, so don't worry about that too much):

Unfortunately, the MOC was rather limited by the parts I had, which might explain the colour scheme. Plus, the head was the main focus of this MOC and the arms are deliberately spindly looking to try and pronounce the size of the head even more

Comments and constructive thoughts for improvement would be greatly appreciated.

I will leave you then with this picture that I took of an older version of this MOC in relative darkness:

Awesome MOC! Love the claws.

[TheOneVeyronian]

Thank you Sir Brickalot The claws (presuming you mean his hand claws) are the new spider leg pieces in black, "borrowed" from the Spider Bytez figure.

Any more comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Gigacranius is really big and I like him. Very cool head, claws and these lightning eyes. Pretty good MOC
