Location: A06 Guinevere Tags: MANTIS, spying Double D's log 46: Before I could report about my findings and get a group of MANTIS operatives to explore the mysterious building on Illustria, I was sent to Guinevere of all places. I was to find out why MANTIS operations have been slow to the West of the volcanoes because Kawashita now has the competitive advantage of gold mining, and we aren't sure why MANTIS equipment isn't as effective as it should be. It's not like we're in conflict in Kawashita, even the CEO noted the planet's apparent peacefulness. So far the outposts we inspected were running at full capacity, and the employees had high morale, so we moved further West towards the GU-Labs and Weapons Center. From a distance it was immediately apparent is that there had been an attack of some sort on the facility! What's more, sand was beginning to dust the surfaces of....well, everything! That means it had been like this for quite a while now. There were flags of black, white, and azure blue, and canisters of matching color in various places, but MANTIS equipment seemed to be scattered around almost as if for survival. Then I noticed helmets used by Kawashitan forces. Before my rage could surface, I heard the distinct voice of the Kawashitan general whom I retrieved planned fleet paths from back on Crentium. "Be very quiet and cautious with your steps, or you will be found by the Alien." "Aliens?" "No, the Alien. This destruction you see, it is the Alien's doing. The azure canisters you see, it's the Alien. Now that you've entered the GU-Labs complex, you're trapped with us." "Us?!" To be continued! ------------------------------------------------- Woot! I finally have a story arc going!

Such a cool scene! I like the plants inside, and the machinery looks great as well! Of course, the story is so funny! Well done.

[MAZE] Cat. B - Joystick control system
David FNJ replied to rodiziorobs's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Man, that joystick function is absolutely fantastic! Sweet base design as well! -
Super cool intro! Looking forward to your stories and builds! Welcome, again, to MANTIS :D
-
Welcome to M.A.N.T.I.S Yseult!

Wow, your vehicles are always so awesome! Super cool designs!

Location: F04 Illustria Tags: MANTIS, exploring Double D's log 45: At the edge of the dry side of Illustria I came across an unchartered part of our map and found what seemed to be an abandoned....something, though the building didn't look worn, just a bunch of plants starting to crowd the entrance, and I was going to find out why...hopefully.
-
Wow, that story is really cool! Fantastic micro spaceships, and the control room is also great. To top it off you even had a sweet vehicle in the mix, superb!

Location: F04 Illustria Tags: MANTIS, exploring Double D's Log 44: I was sent back to F04 so MANTIS could test their fighter ground tracking. We went to a more dry spot on the planet up on some rocky plateau. I also inspected some water condensers. Nothing exciting. End log. ------------------------------------ Making the minifigs was definitely the most fun part about this week's build! Hopefully I'll get a chance to use them again! So yeah, I have tons of ideas and no lack of motivation, but since August of last year I've only been committing a small amount of time for MANTIS building (and some weeks less than others). It's actually been a bit of a challenge having to build things quickly. Though it makes my stories boring and unconnected, and to me, uninteresting. I'm glad to have been able to post a build for almost every AG "week" though. Oddly enough I've only built for the first AG challenge. Those extra "weeks" for the challenges really just turned out to be breaks for me! Still going strong here, even if small! Small and steady wins the race! And as MANTIS member Mr. Greeble put it, "Or large and steady. That works too...." Maybe I'll put a post up recapping some of my AG builds in the anniversary thread....we'll see!

Haha, that's great! Super cool GATE drive, and the Octan version cool too, but not as cool as the MANTIS one ;) All the different foliage pieces are fantastic!
-
That alpha wing is fantastic! Star Wars stuff looks great when they are MANTISified. The hangar too is really well done.
-
This is awesome! I like those bubble windows, and the interior is great! Bravo!
-
Super cool design, and yeah, the water does do something to your eyes. Great use of those ski blade pieces!
-
Super cool tree trunk as others mentioned. Cool vehicle as well, and the landscape is great!
-
It's like a micro-fighter MAT-MAT! Really nice, and the micro base is superb!
-
Fun stuff! Nice lineup here!

Location: F04 Illustria Tags: MANTIS, spaceship, military Double D's log 43: MANTIS has been developing some new spaceships that are fast, highly maneuverable, and perfect for scouting or space combat. I was lucky to be able to try one of the new MAN-TI Fighters. ____________________________________________________________ My photo table is currently being occupied, and I don't like how these photos look. I'll get better photos of this before I take it apart though.

Woot! Go MANTIS! Way to go StarHawk!
-
That drill is fantastic! I really like those treads!

Location: H03 Kaalin Tags: MANTIS, exploring Double D's log 42: Well, we're right back we started a few weeks ago. Octan and MANTIS fleets pinned against each other on the coveted sector of E01. To take a break from the case, I headed down to the planet with Wheelie and see if we could spy on anything or anyone. We didn't, so I decided to just enjoy the fresh air.
-
Ooh, sweet lighting effects and story! Great setup!
-
Yeah, nice lighting here! I like the layout here as well!

Location: F04 Illustria Tags: MANTIS, spying Double D's Log 41: I've been following this one particular Octan Special Forces operator for a second week now, and I've finally got a lead. Octan moved it's fleet in what seems like a retreat back to sector H03. I was able to hear them very clearly due to MANTIS spying technology coupled with the very expensive equipment put into my helmet. In his conversation with some Octan guards, I overheard them talking about Octan's fleet and future strategy, but no specifics were given except that "everything that you need to know is in this file, now go, before Double D catches up to you." Was this a challenge? Well then, I accept!

Thanks everyone! We certainly had a blast doing this!
