From the shadows of a dark alley grows an extension of the gloom. It takes form as it steps forth, the silhouettes of limbs and a head sharpening. Wings blossom from the shadow's back. Red eyes open. Claws flex. A short screech rebounds off the concrete.

Man-Bat is come.

In brief: The Furmidible Man-Bat is the first MOC I have completed in months. It's not my best MOC, but the fact that I don't hate it must mean I'm recovering from my building slump. Man-Bat is also the first MOC I've made that incorporates both Bionicle and Hero Factory pieces in a single form. My biggest criticism would be that the wings don't emulate a bat's well enough (I personally blame a shortage of parts, but you're free to interpret the shortcoming however you choose).

Thank you in advance for any comments, constructive critiques, and votes that may come my way.

First of all, nice MOC. I like how you made the wings, even though you said they don't look like a bat's, but hey, you used your imagination! Which piece is the head made of, just wondering. It look like a HF head, but I'm not too sure. Anyway, I should stop talking (typing, whatever)and say something like good luck on the contest.

Thanks. The head is made using a standard Hero Factory lower limb piece as the base; I placed a Rahkshi head (with a normal, translucent orange socket joint) on the end and placed another socket, with a couple Bohrok teeth attached, on the center ball joint. It doesn't look much like a bat's head, but I didn't know what else to do, and it's a decent head design by itself.
