PooZy Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Seeing as I always have liked the robo-riders, I decided to make some for myself.Here's the first:This one is in the style of Onyx/Power. There's a worm gear inside so you can change the elevation of the bike. Just like the original robo-riders there is also suspension! Here's the same model but lowered a little:And here it is from the back:The design is entirely custom.Here's the second robo-rider, in the style of Swamp/Lava:The function this time is to raise the swords when you push down on it, like so:Technically this model also has suspension, but that's sort of covered by the first function.Here it is from the back:And lastly, group shooot:Please leave a comment, any criticism is welcome! Thank you for viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mugbearer Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Great Roborider designs, I love them so much!However, two-wheeled one I like more than three-wheeled, because I am not fan of trikes at all. :(As I can see, two-wheeled doesn't stand without supporting running-board. Do you plan to fix that? =) <<I am selling LEGO FTL Instructions on Gumroad!>> <<My Patreon page>> <<DIGITAL LEGO MOC COMMISSIONS - OPEN>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohannDakitsch Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Great pair! Very sleek and cool, with some nice functionality. The nostalgia factor also adds to them. Really like those. The night is dark and full of terrors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObfuscatedCubeEntity Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 These were the last things I expected to see. And so well done too. Robo-Riders were the first canister sets I ever got, and these bring back so many memories. Any plans for the Throwbots/Slizers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had all six Robo-Riders canisters, plus Boss (My favorite from the theme) and as for Throwbots, I had Ski, and then that big yellow guy (ditto previous parentheses) Lego's first successful attempt at pose-able legs on a technic set. I also had Millennium (somehow, all I have left of him is one wheel) All this when I was four, believe it or not. Away from that nostalgic tangent, it's too bad that you can't do a remake of the Throwbots (I actually called them Slizers when I had them) I am sure that it would have been awesome.

Pulsy Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Very nice design. I too liked the Roboriders. I like how you've combined the functionality of the early Bionicle sets with the look of the early Roboriders. I especially like the "kickstand" on the first one.

Simulacrum Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Wow, that was really good. The use of gunmetal and black created a sleek, almost alien/futurstic design, and the general peices are ingenious. I really can't wait to see what you do next. 9.3/10.
