Warmask, the Man-Nihilating Mutant!

[BlackboltJohnson]

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.

Long time no see, BBJ!

 

Those mistika claws finally look good. Using protectors feet as base for clawed hands/gauntlets is a seriously genius idea. The sheer amount of parts originating from different years is as impressive as the final outcome. My only gripe would be the head...a bare silver Avohkii.

 

It's a great MOC though, on par with your others.

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!?"

The silver, red and trans green proves to be pretty. He looks very complicated, it makes him look post apocalyptic in a  way. This looks like a model that could win the contest, congratz.

Nice; it looks cobbled-together without being unpleasantly cluttered. I really like how the silver over red looks like cybernetics held together with muscle tissue (which doesn't match the backstory, I know, but that's how it struck me when I saw it).

This guy screams Dark Hunter to me; I can almost hear the Shadowed One drooling...
