Long time lurker, first time poster- The whole idea for this thing came from looking at the Scrapmetal/Ramble toy and trying to turn it around into a transformoc (for those of you who don't know MOC stands for My own creation, a term used with lego and or bionicle customs, transformocs are mocs that have a robot and a vehicle or beast mode). I tried to maintain as much of the original transformation scheme as possible but nothing ever comes out perfect, in the end I ended up reversing the transformation scheme almost. The energon spear thing came from his key gimmick (which i didnt work in) Which launches out an energy knife from under the gun, and as I've seen from the 'Lets See Some Cool Stuff' thread a feature that can be worked out afterall. Since I didn't have that many red parts I decided to make him in one of his japanese color schemes, which is really close to the metru blue pieces in the bionicle line. tank front tank side tank back rear leg design robot mode gun not deployed closeup real vehicle mode real robot mode His gun can also be handheld, I think this is the first time I've used so many of the joint balls. Mutant head (ala beast wars, just switched the tank 'cockpit out with the robot head') gun by itself Mutant head holding both weapons With Rogan and Aithne (not transformocs) Gallery (when public) Lemme know what you guys think And if you're a bzpower member heres the bzp topic- http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=6&t=206064 DN
