Mate.397

Just wait till you see my Witch Doctor revamp =D Hopefully I can finish it before the year ends.

Just a few creations I built a while ago but work kept me from uploading them. Breez http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Breez-Techno-organic-Experiment-578986130 This one I was planning on making for a while as well, I did mix a little Queen of Blades into this one as well as a hint of Poison Ivy too when building, though the lower legs aren't my favorite part but with what I had it works. Detail shots: http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Breez-Back-579102346 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Breez-Size-579102844 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Breez-and-Chompy-579104216 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Chompy-Front-579105637 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Chompy-Back-579105940 As for the little critter, I wanted create a "pet" for Breez which at first was supposed to the a quadruped Venus-flytrap like creature but instead I went with a two legged walking mouth, it kinda looks like the Hulk version of Pac-man. Rocka http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Rocka-VIP-Bodyguard-578937154 This one is pretty much an updated version of the 'revamp' I made quite a while back. Though I must mention that the neck articulation is a little limited due to the big back armor. Detail shots: http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Rocka-Arm-Cannon-578982479 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Rocka-Back-578982903 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Rocka-Size-578983390 Evo http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Evo-Support-Class-578545206 (note I switched the glatorian head piece to a trans green one instead of orange at the point of the making of this post) This one is a pre-spec ops version of Evo, I also planned on giving him more than one attachment but at the moment of it's creation I wanted to keep the yellow pieces for another revamp I will post soon. Detail shots: http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Evo-Back-578552368 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Evo-Size-578552816 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Evo-W-A-S-P-578553113 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/W-A-S-P-Back-578561536 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/W-A-S-P-Side-578562408 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Evo-Comparison-578563638 Stringer http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Stealth-Stringer-578540950 This one was mostly based on Metal Gear Solid, I even planned on giving him a box, but I kinda forgot about it with the busy days I had lately >.> But, I should be able to make it sometime soon. Detail shots: http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Stringer-Front-578543136 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Stringer-Back-578543758 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Stringer-Side-578543978 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Stringer-Size-578544281 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/System-Fail-578544737 Rotor http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Rotor-2015-Revamp-578534190 Thought I give this fella a little upgrade, only kept the legs with minor changes as those looked solid as they were by default, and before anyone points out yes he has long arms, but if he stands up properly proportion wise it should be okay, yes the torso is a little stubby too, but then again he soars the sky he can't be too big either, plus he is a ROBOT, who don't have to follow human proportions as well. Detail shots: http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Rotor-Back-578537493 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Rotor-Back-Close-up-578537886 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Rotor-Arm-Cannon-578538196 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Rotor-Other-Arm-578538699 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Rotor-Size-578539467

http://orig09.deviantart.net/a468/f/2015/354/3/d/cragger___phoenix_armor___2015_by_mate397-d9ksfiy.jpg An updated version of this http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Cragger-Phoenix-Armor-475535910 changes are really minor, custom tail with armor, legs with golden armor and two fire axes instead of a single battle axe and where possible extra gold/trans orange/green pieces.

*sighs* What's with you people totally misunderstanding the term revamp? This is literally 95% the same, you just slapped small system pieces on the legs, and used the rahkshi piece for the torso, and those slizer pieces on the feet. At first I honestly thought this was a joke upload. I highly suggest to learn the difference between tweak and revamp, please. Edit: This is inappropriate behavior. See the message. -Wind-

I get the dual aspect in this, but honestly it looks more like a shield than a mask

Build feels a bit generic, but the MOc looks okay, I like the necromancer soul idea for it.

These contests have never been rigged. Stop trying to blame other people for something that is beyond their control. So you approve of prototype parts being used for these contests for a "edgy super awesome MOC" by X person who put his/her hand on it because being invited to some VIP event that only a select few can attend to? Thus gaining a clear unfair edge? No wonder that cluster of a MOC won the villain contest then. If that was allowed I dare you to call it not rigged.

That head feels comically small honestly, other wise I like the torso design, though for such barrel body the legs feel a slight bit thin, not by much just a little.

It's fairly nice, reminded me of a Gundam head at first, also I find it dumb it's a must for the masks to be human sized.

Off a human face it looks nice, though when put on somebody it just looks off, the face part feels jumbled or something, don't really know how to put it.

From the rules: While it's hardly accurate to say only the "big names" win contests or get any votes, it's 100% true that whining and poor sportsmanship can prevent you from entering any future contests. Since this is far from the first time I've had to warn you about your behaviour, this is your final warning. I'm a good sportsman, as I have not won but one contest so far and even that took me by surprise(Oh and it was not a BZP contest, it was a Christmas themed contest on DA by a Bionicle group), but guess what, it didn't get to my head, nor did I complain when I didn't win in the other cases. But these BBC#X year after year getting the near same results eventually piled up, making me see a bit clearer, the villain contest, a while back is the best example for this. How about this, make the game not rigged so everyone can have the same odds at winning instead of favoring specific people.

I've seen the god-awful Eragon movie yet I still can't make this MOC out what it is supposed to be, nature as background for a mainly brown creation was a very poor choice there as well. I'd suggest a better taste in dragon movies/books and better background. Edit: Please keep your feedback to the MOC itself. -Wind-

This one I'm gonna skip, I'd enter, even have 2 ideas already, but with my current job I don't have that much time to MOC, plus what time I have I want to use to work on the things I already put in queue for revamping. Then again not like anyone ever bothers with my entries, casual people can't compete with Mr. "Cluster MOC builder" who can buy half of BrickLink and get it delivered under a day. (And I don't care about the whole "Oh that's how it is just deal with it". It's a cheap excuse and you know it) Not to mention the general lack of interest in the non-famous builders/new comers, they're lucky if they get a view or two maybe a comment, even if their MOC is actually good or dare I say looks better than "X" big name MOCer's creation designs. You can't really call something a fair game if some odds are already stacked against some people before the thing even starts.

While the added gear-function is nice, overall the MOC is pretty meh, honestly, the trans-purple and gold mask stick out like a sore thumb and the overly simplistic build is not helping it either.

*The country I live in doesn't have netflix* Guess I have to use the magic of the internet to see those netflix episodes/movie

Very impressive =D Great work.

Well...my chances at winning just hit 0... again... It's a good thing the entry list was always updated /sarcasm

I can see your point, though I tried to make it feel like under the fur he has bones sticking out or just the fur itself is stuck in patches,exposing the holes in him and such.

Thanks, I tried to go with the Purple-Gunmetal as the main colors as best as I could I can get your point, though for me those red and blue tubes were very distracting, made him feel more like a magnet, and the positive/negative charge thing was a little on the nose with that too

http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Undead-Hunters-2015-562613556 Sir Fangar http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Chi-Sir-Fangar-2015-Redux-562612719 His changes are very minimal, gave him proper hands, changed the ball pieces in him and the ice claws on the feet. Not much but feels better.

Remade his arms and legs, his legs having a knee joint at last while the first version didn't.

http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Voltix-2015-Redux-562588515 "Prisoner named Voltix escaped during a prison transfer, reports say he hijacked a cargo ship heading off planet. After days of search, the energy signature of the cargo ship's engine in a near system. The trail led to a planet seemingly uncharted as there is no information can be found in our databanks. A scouting party was sent to find the convict. According to reports the planet was full of only organic life-forms and fauna. Though contact with the locals were avoided, the damage showed that Voltix didn't have a problem with the inhabitants' presence. Though we could not translate their language, they seemed to talk of a sort of energy supply. something which will need further study but that is for our R&D team. Eventually the scouting team found the electric villains trail. They even managed to give us a visual of him too. His chest seemed to have a strange energy orb embedded into it that slightly cracked his armor around it too. His body increased in mass somewhat as he constructed a strange dynamo like machine on his back, possibly using up the cargo ship for it. Along with that he replaced his arm with an electric-pulse cannon which was caught on video as it fries one of the scouting party members. Needless to say the team barely made it out, claiming that their shots got deflected by a shield, and Voltix seemed to sense them, possibly able to sense electric pulses in a machine and in organic creatures, making it impossible to sneak up on him. The capture of this convict will require our R&D team to figure out a stealth system that cam mask any sign of energy out put." Got an idea a while back, plus I wanted to use the chest piece from the Chima set for something. Though I still have some purple left which I suppose I could use for a G2 Makuta once they release Umarak the Hunter (he'll come with the Mask of Control). Plus I also wanted to put the little gunmetal pieces I have, though some still are left.

http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Black-Phantom-Servant-of-the-Spider-562599898 "Report came in that the dangerous villain Black Phantom got out of his max-security cell, taking a barely fueled ship, thankfully the ship had an active beacon and we were able to follow him easily. However, when the assigned party found the downed ship, most likely due to the lack of fuel during re-entry, there were strange scratch marks on the ship as if it was attacked by local creatures, yet the only footprints were his. The ship's security cameras were still on up until we found it. Since the scouting party found no sign of the escaped prisoner they took the blackbox and went back into orbit, to go through the evidence in safety. We were horrified in HQ when we saw the footage sent by them, Black Phantom talks about meeting a creature called the Lord of the Skull Spiders and how it bit him. And under the duration of a few days how his body and mind became altered. He started to look at his transformation as a blessing by the creature, pledging his servitude to the spider. His body grew spider-like legs from his back, his arm split into two, growing poison glands and the like. We never even thought a techno-organic mutation is even possible, Black Phantom has been deemed a biohazard and he must be apprehended to be quarantined and cured if possible. Due to lack of samples aside from the armor chunks he 'shed' during his metamorphosis we have nothing to use. The planet will be under surveillance from orbit we can't risk our operatives to be contaminated with this mutagen." This guy's inspiration mainly came from The Fly movie which I assume needs no introduction, though the sequel feels unnecessary, but that's my opinion. At first I wanted to revamp him in a way so that his little spider buddy would act as an armor attachment but instead I went with the spider mutation, since Lord of the Skull Spiders was just thrown away so fast in the Bionicle reboot, I wanted to give him a little something while he is "away" from the eyes of the Toa.

Once I get some more gunmetal I can swap, and dogtag piece? Which one was that?

So he got boosters on his back and legs for both underwater and air. His lance can either be a remote controlled harpoon or a lightning rod to divert energy.
