Now I have NO idea what this is about, so I'll let the guy who I'm hosting this contest for explain. Gorgnak. He'll post in a few minutes with rules and things.

Okay, here's how it works. you have to build, out of bionicle pieces, The monster known as the Jabberwock.

 

The Jabberwock is a monster from the book Alice's adventures in Wonderland. it was a terrible monster that terrorized a town, until it was killed by The Vorpal Blade.the restrictions are as follows.

 

1. it must have claws. it's a terrible monster. they have claws.

2. must follow 25/75% System/Technic rule.

3. it can't have the metru lower torso piece. sorry, it's overused.

4.it has to have a feeling of invulnerability to it.

5. it can't use held weapons.

6.last one! it has to use two av-toran torsos.

 

deadline is july 20.30

A few questions:

 

-How many entries are permitted per member?

-How will entries be judged?

-Should the MoC be based off the description in the book, or can it be anything monstrous that follows the above guidelines?

-Is there a particular reason it should include a pair of Av-Matoran torsos?

-May the MoC include more than two Av-Matoran torsos?

-Could you provide a picture of the banned piece?

 

Thanks in advance for answering all of the questions. I will likely enter this contest.

Banened piece is the one used in all Inika builds as a hip joint.... though it can be used in other ways...

 

All in all, rather bad choice for a banned piece....

Copy of poem, for reference:

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

 

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

The frumious Bandersnatch!"

 

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

Long time the manxome foe he sought—

So rested he by the Tumtum tree,

And stood awhile in thought.

 

And as in uffish thought he stood,

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

And burbled as it came!

 

One, two! One, two! and through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back.

 

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

He chortled in his joy.

 

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.
