Onvermel Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Continuing with my system space theme inspired Bionicles who are Toa pretenders. Flicker Album- https://www.flickr.com/photos/125839668@N07/sets/72157693971768724 The next on the list is the Robo-Force (a space theme from 1997) Stalker the Robo Schemer by Paul Joosten, on Flick As the one who came up with the idea Stalker is a schemer and tends to always think things threw before making an decisions. He is quite technically gifted and as a result pretends to be a toa of iron due to matoran of iron be known for their technical skill. Plus he really didn't want to change his armor colour. Sadly unlike Emtrone he has no natural abilities so he is more careful when it comes to boasting about his "toa abilities". Side note his title "Robo-Schemer" is a acknowledgement of the Robo-Force theme as every set name was "Robo-Insert word here-". So it was more for fun than to make sense. Also because of what theme he is inspired by i tried to make him slightly more mechanical looking. Onvermel 3 Quote "I believe in certainties.

Obsessionist Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I really dig that color scheme! Nice use of the trans-orange liftarms. Some of the gears look more natural than others--the ones on the thighs break the flow for me, whereas the bohrok liftarm/bevel combo on the upper arms is really nice. The flip-up crown gear on the forearm is very cool. I'm loving the very retro visor enhancement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VahiHolder02 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 The asymmetry really fits this theme, which I recall being very busy and unfinished looking. Always smile when I see Pohatu's Kaukau being used! Is a Futuron MOC on the way? Quote https://ideas.lego.com/projects/593592ef-5da6-4a2a-9422-a17e0f8438ea Please help and support this project!

Who knows when that could be though. Onvermel Quote "I believe in certainties. The strength of my limbs, the power of my mask, the sharp edges of my blades — that is what I build my plans around.
