She's gonna kick your butt.

Not much to say about this one either really, she's just a cyberpunky android with an attitude, with some added generic anime girl flair. I built the head first, inspired by Felix' Pixi Droid and the rest just came together after that. The whole body construction, color choices and even the name are sort of inspired by early 2000's Bionicle MOCs, Jinzoningen73's Riot Fleas in particular. Thanks for taking a look!

As I said on Flickr, I love the waist design. I've seen a lot of people use those tubes to great effect and I've never tried it. Another great part would be the limbs. The dual piston look really helps the cyberpunk aesthetic and it looks great. The Mata limb on the back of the lower legs is brilliant. I haven't seen many people use that piece, especially not as well as here.

 

The side and back views feel a little empty though. The front is so well armored and flows nicely, then on the other side there are open bricks and a pretty good look at the inside of the Pixi rather than plating that would be expected. It would be nice to continue that tubing design through the back, though at least the upper body needs some more smooth armor on the back. The waist also conflicts with the smooth flow of the rest of the body with its harsh flat areas and corners all around.

 

Still, the color scheme is fantastic (not many people build old purple MOCs) and you definitely pulled off the cyberpunk robot look you were going for.

Well done, as always. Dat hammah.

Hehe, thanks.

 

I can't believe you actually made a Riotflea.

I dunno, I always liked Jinzo's stuff, I remember one of my first encounters with Bionicle online was browsing through his galleries on Brickshelf.

The emptiness of the alternate angles is a bit unfortunate, yes but also a tiny bit intentional I guess? I wanted to make her seem frail and delicate, to contrast the huge hammer thing. I also ran out tubes and purple in general, whoops.  Thanks though!
