This is the most amazing piece.

 

As I'm wrapping up the finishing touches on my Makuta contest entry, I've really come to appreciate how versatile this little critter is.

  1. Great size for limbs. I'm using 6 on each leg alone.
  2. Tons of connection points, both pins and axles
  3. Just enough greebling to keep it interesting
  4. Little dips give room for more complex filler and armor mounts
  5. Functionally a straight line, but visually better than one (can use the pistons as an implied curve, etc.)

Found my new favorite part for MOCing. ^_^

The drawback is that it is extremely easy to get parts trapped in it if you aren't careful, such as attaching a Y-joint in the "top" with a 2m axle.

True that, there are a ton of pieces that are tempting to attach that I know just won't end well. Does require a bit of (sometimes awkward) engineering to use some of the connection points.

:kaukau: My cousins trapped an axle in one of those before.

 

Cousin 1: Go ahead and put this piece here.  I'll bet that you won't be able to get it out.

 

Cousin 2: Oh really?  I never thought about that.  Let me see it first hand.  [puts the pieces in place] ...Huh.  Why did just do that?
