Revamp of an old MOC made in 2008 for Primus's blog contest. Which is an interesting coincidence, actually, as he just became active again to post a MOC of his own.Anyway, remade Yarrohk because the original version sat near my computer for most of his existence, and I grew tired of how bad he was. Really, the old version (seen here) was rubbish. However, I think the revamp remedies that, and actually reflects the character concept I was going for. ^Link to Gallery^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 He has a stand because he's meant to be an agile, lithe flyer, with little need for walking. Hence no feet, and thin little arms. Also yeah, the white background makes him rather blend in for some of the shots, but ah well. C&C welcome. ~B~

When I first heard about the contest, I was rather disappointed that I wouldn't have been able to enter my MOC Stoxutu. However, this entry came out far better than I had expected at first. It's a Skakdi with flames. Skakdi are pretty Bionicle-esque, right? "Fill your enemies with primal fear, then fill their lungs with fire!"-- Ancient Gand proverb ^Link to entry picture^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 910 11 12 13 14 Gallery So yeah, he's pretty much a seemingly random Skakdi warlord of Zakaz, who has a big freakin' flamethrower, a spine of flames, and other fiery looking armor. That's about it. Oh, and imagine the black top of his head as akin to something burnt by intense fire, you know? Comments, criticism, and support in the contest are all welcome. ~B~

Another recent MOC, built shortly before Stoxutu. Unlike Stoxutu, however, this guy is entirely Bionicle, using the slightly greebly aesthetic Bionicle had in abundance instead of the smoother HF aesthetic. May have been partially inspired by the Space Pirates from Metroid Prime. Credit to Shine for the foot design, although his version used Bohrok eyes rather than their teeth. "His mother was right. His face did freeze like that." ^Gallery^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 12 13 14 15 16 17 Given that this is a mech, the head is supposed to be an eternally snarling death's head, rather than a truly functioning one. Hence the quote. Enjoy! ~B~

The recent MOC of my latest blog entry, made over April Fools Day weekend. As I said there, it incorporates HF and Bionicle in a way that I think was pretty satisfactory. So, without much further ado, here we go! ^Link to Gallery^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 It's a mecha. That's fiery. And has cool chest blasters because come on who doesn't like those. The fins on its back and head dissipate heat, more or less. The Lehrak staff on the head is supposed to be a crown-like ornament as well.Also blargh this thing did not like being photographed. That last foot joint collapsed five to six times during photography. I guess it doesn't like standing on paper over carpet, because it did just fine in my room for days beforehand. Anyway, there might have been more pictures but I raged at my camera and quit. So there. Comments appreciated. ~B~

Hello, BZPower! Ballom here, back on the MOCing scene after a fairly long hiatus! Today's special is a couple of MOCs that I built over the Christmas break using my recently-acquired Hero Factory sets. Basically, because Waspix and Scorpio were pretty bad sets, I made better scorpion and wasp versions. Although, admittedly, the scorpion is mostly HF, being based on Witch Doctor's parts, while the wasp has a lot more Bionicle elements. Also, the more astute or stalker-ish of you may realize that the pictures of these have been on my Maj for about a month now, but I kept forgetting to post the topic. Anyway, to the pictures! Wasp ^Link to Gallery^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Scorpion ^Link to Gallery^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 And yes, the wasp does have those awesome transparent wings first seen on Gorast, but alas, they almost completely vanished from the photos, although you can see them moderately clearly in the third image. Well, enjoy! ~B~

Crabs.Crabs? Yes, crabs. Cute widdle crabbies that scuttle around low to the ground, sideways. And you know what? While it may be fun scuttling around and eating crabby food, you should know how much your average crab would love to wander around like a person. Well, now they can -- with the Kombat Krab. With this fine machine, crabby can be installed in and take command of a moderately sized machine to clomp around all he wants. And maybe poke a few things that previously were large enough to pick on him. Hi, crabby. ^Link to Gallery^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ... Of course, no one said the crabs would always have good balance.So yeah, natural light decided to shine decently enough for me to start taking pictures. Unfortunately, my camera started to protest, and I only was able to take six pictures, of this guy, before it died. This would be one of the first MOCs I made while doodling around with some Hero Factory pieces when BZP was down. (And no, it's not entirely serious; silly.) ~B~

Repost shtuffs. Just for fun. Having some trouble with the coding for some reason, so bear with me if stuff is lacking. "It came on great oiled, resilient, striding legs. It towered thirty feet above half of the trees, a great evil god, folding its delicate watchmaker's claws close to its oily reptilian chest. Each lower leg was a piston, a thousand pounds of white bone, sunk in thick ropes of muscle, sheathed over in a gleam of pebbled skin like the mail of a terrible warrior. Each thigh was a ton of meat, ivory, and steel mesh. And from the great breathing cage of the upper body those two delicate arms dangled out front, arms with hands which might pick up and examine men like toys, while the snake neck coiled. And the head itself, a ton of sculptured stone, lifted easily upon the sky. Its mouth gaped, exposing a fence of teeth like daggers. Its eyes rolled, ostrich eggs, empty of all expression save hunger. It closed its mouth in a death grin. It ran, its pelvic bones crushing aside trees and bushes, its taloned feet clawing damp earth, leaving prints six inches deep wherever it settled its weight." Good story, btw. Highly recommend it if you haven't read it. Anyway. Unfortunately, I didn't have the most time in the world for this contest, so I finished something that had been partially assembled for a while. Its a revamp of an ooold MOC of mine from a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. And the original seemed to be quite a fan favorite, although in retrospect I think it was rather hideous, but in any case hopefully this one will be well received as well. Oh, yeah, also: brief backstory. It's a flying dinosaur. It also goes rawr and OM NOM NOMs people/heroes. Its babies are fluffy and adorable. That's the gist of it.

A few important points, also. Yes, it does have more than enough Hero Factory pieces for the contest requirement. At least ten can be seen in the front images, and various other ones are on different parts of the body. Credit to Elzy for the awesome claw design.
