Arpy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (click the photo for the photoset) You think it's just an ordinary Throwbot revamp? Think again!Lets take off the head, and...wait, what is that? No.... The clever green fellow has turned this Throwbot into his own personal battlemech! Awesomesauce! Please to be enjoying.

Kakaru Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 OHMGOSH ARPY HII can't believe you're still around and alive and everything and you still build better than nearly everyone on this site. C:Also great MOC too I guess? Throwbots always need more love, and merging it with frogspace just makes it even better and the colour scheme is rad too.okay byeee~ Quote 「どこに行けばいいんだ・・・」「タ・コロ村はもうおしまいだ・・・」タ・コロ村の村人達 hey it's Studio Comic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicRage Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I think this the first Slizer revamp ever. And it's certainly a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 While not the first Slizer revamp I've seen, I'm still very glad they're getting some attention. I've really been nostalgic for those older Technic sets lately, and have considered doing a revamp myself.So, onto the MOC. The biggest thing that sticks out to me with this guy is his bulkyness. He's just a huge tank of a Throwbot, utilizing a lot of parts well (I really like that chest armoring, I'll need to use those pieces more often), but this is both good and bad. The Judge I remember was fairly thin and agile looking, and I think this look would look better with Torch. It just seems really off to me.Now, as a frog mech (hilarious by the way), it looks awesome. The armoring is very consistent and smooth throughout, and a lot of pieces were used in great ways (like those arm thrusters) to make it look cohesive. The arm disk launcher would probably be my favorite part. The thrusters were well spaced throughout, and the usage of the original Throwbot bodies was a great idea (although Judge used the other body type, but this still looks cool).So, awesome MOC, just doesn't look much like Judge to me.

Bundalings Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 A return of Throwbots. A return of Frogspace. Even if this wasn't awesome, smooth, and nearly flawless, this would be commendable. I really appreciate the ratio of old pieces to new. That's a balance that I've found difficult to strike. Quote I want to THRIVE Not just survive.

Tomago: Toa of Time Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Pretty cool moc. I like Jet, kind of looks like a similar setup to what millenia had. I believe that is his name. Wish I had all my slizers fully built still. Many pieces went to other mocs Quote ~T:ToT~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsessionist Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Those parts work fantastically. They all keep the Throwbots aesthetic, but make it better. The legs are particularly brilliant. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dralcax Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Great job! This is one of the best MOCs I've seen so far. I really like the construction of the torso and legs. The launcher arm is also nice, I like the way you smoothly integrated the launcher. The frog is a nice touch, too. Keep up the good work!

ChocolateFrogs Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 This is awesome! First: Throwbot. Second: That arm!Also the colors work well. And the armoring (especially the chest).I'm overly impressed. -CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
>_< Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hehheh. Wow, this is awesome =DOne question though, since the head rotates around to reveal Mr. Frogger, how is the head-articulation? In order to reveal His Frogginess, the center of rotation seems to be very much near the 'back' of the top (when looking at it from the front), and from experience I know that isn't a very good point to be rotating the head around - it just makes it look kinda...... weird, I guess.

AdaptingChaos Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) This is the very first Throwbots Moc I have seen, and I have to get these sets! Great MOC btw and I really like that frog inside the MOC Good job! Edited February 24, 2013 by AdaptingChaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~garnira returns~ Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That is an awesome slizer, and the froggy makes it epic! Quote "Copy and paste me into your sig! The shadows command you!" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)#tumaislove,tumaislife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitoshura Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I rarely see any Slizer/Throwbot MOCs. This one is really nice, and the color scheme is good. The armor is also pretty good. Hehe...the frog. Quote profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always fancied Jet as the leader of the original eight Throwbots, so I wanted him to look like a bulky boss sort of guy who can actually throw his weight around up there at the top of the Throwbot world as opposed to a gawky twig.Hehheh. Wow, this is awesome =DOne question though, since the head rotates around to reveal Mr. Frogger, how is the head-articulation?

The head is attached to one of those Exo-Force robot hands at the first axle behind the yellow visor. It can swing back and forth a little bit (about the same range as a minifig head with long hair restraining it), but it's not especially meant to go up like it does to reveal the frog.

Creep Of The Deep Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Looks fantastic, I love Throwbots' designs and this one looks so streamlined and gorgeous. Great colour scheme.
