  1. You know what, that's ridiculous. I've posted this on other sites and received nothing but good feedback on the backstory. How was it a "gorilla joke?" It wasn't a joke at all. But whatever. I won't be posting here anymore. Clearly you're getting so many new posts here you don't need someone like me bringing in new content.
  2. Tasteless backstory removed. -B6
  3. Edit: The title of this post is supposed to be Fírthan, the Last of the Bloodwing Clan. But I can't figure out how to edit the title of a post. As the last living member of his clan, Fírthan devoted his life to following in the footsteps of their greatest warriors. His skills in the martial arts are second to none. He spent his whole life wandering the galaxy challenging the best fighters he could find. But unfortunately the opponents he challenged do not always adhere to his philosophy of unarmed combat. And in one such case, Fírthan bit off more than could chew. He challenged an enormous, 4-armed creature with 2 plasma axes that are bigger than he is. He was soundly defeated and permanently maimed - his wings were cleaved from his limp body. But he did not die. And like his forefathers before him, he used this defeat as motivation to rise from the ashes. Like a phoenix. . . a phoenix of blades! He replaced his wings with metal alloy prosthetics. But instead of feathers, they are covered with razor sharp blades. These blades can be flung out as projectiles or carve flesh directly from the bone. Now more lethal than ever, Fírthan continues to roam the cosmos looking for that next challenging opponent to test his fighting skills. Stare down
  4. Frozen King of the icy tundra. Siberian's powers are derived from an everlasting cold fusion reaction in his heart. Providing him with unlimited nuclear-fueled ice powers. Also at his command is the entire legion of ice warriors and beasts native to his kingdom. Few have ever dared to stand up to the might of Siberian. But none have ever survived to tell their tale.
  5. Fighting for the rights of green beings across the cosmos. He will not be oppressed! #greenlivesmatter Back shot. . .
  6. Thanks Brother! I have a total of 3 MOCs to post today that I made over the last few weeks. This one is definitely my favorite of the bunch. Also just another fun tidbit about this guy, is that I chose those huge Kordak blasters so he would look almost cartoonishly violent. Kind of like this scene from The Mask: "Are you feelin' lucky, punk!?"
  7. Built this MOC for reddit's current Post Apocolyptic themed contest. . . This cyborg unit was originally a security bot, assigned to protect a construction site. But that site was one of the first ones hit when the bombs dropped. The unit was very heavily damaged. But due to its self-repair protocols it pieced itself back together using parts and tech salvaged from the destroyed construction site. It became sort of a Frankenstein's monster, with parts of all different types of heavy machinery melding together into one powerful body. Hence the tag of being a "mutant". It turns out that after this mutation, it is far more dangerous than its original form. Without a site or any workers to protect, it's operating aimlessly. It's not a fully sentient organism as it relied very heavily on a prime directive (site security) in order to operate. Those directives are now void, so left to it's own devices it's become an unpredictable and violent to anything it deems a threat (even when something clearly isn't a threat). Now it's just wandering the wastelands, and shredding whatever living things that cross its path, especially humans. It's legend as a harbinger of death has spread across most of the human settlements, and it's basically the most feared thing in their lives. The name Warmask was given to it by those who told the first tales of it's unspeakable horrors. Back shot. . .
  8. Why indeed? Well, because you can. I like this guy alot, and those bulky shoulders almost look like they are part of a whole carapace for the scuba apparatus. I assume that was intentional, no? It works great. If Mattel can release 55 different versions of 'Nightglow' Batman, then of course there should be a 'Scuba' Tahu!
  9. Thanks! But he's too large to make decent wings. Specifically gold wings. Silver wings, or any other color for that matter, just wouldn't look right. But they don't make the right kind of gold parts I would need to make wings big enough for a MOC this size. What about the fire wing pieces from CHI Fluminox? http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=70211-1#T=S&O={} That's a great suggestion. I hadn't considered those.

  11. Agree to disagree. I like the way the all blue contrasts strongly with the silver on the rest of the body. It makes it look more like a true mask, and not just a part of a "robotic suit". I also don't like the rounded head shape and oversized eyes on the 2016 masks.
  12. Thanks for the tip. The bright white looks great on my laptop and mobile screens though, and it's the same background I use for almost all my MOCs. I love the strong contrast against the white, and in fact I often turn up the exposure to make it even brighter!
  13. These are super awesome! I can't decide which one I like better, because they're both so good. Probably the red one, since he's got so much firepower.
  14. Entry for the March contest. What if in a final, desperate moment of an unwinnable battle, Tahu and Ikir flung themselves into the heart of a volcano with the hopes of ascending to a whole new level of power? What would happen? Well that's what I was imagining when I made this MOC. The uniter function is still intact in the torso, but I only used it here to attach Ikir's head as a helmet. What do you guys think of Tahu's "ultimate" form? Evolved form with Ikir and ultimate flames! Bonus x-ray shot:
