Crustaceans


ToM Dracone

I've had this idea brewing in my head for literally a year. And since Kohaku agreed with it, here we go:

 

We should assemble a massive army of Bionicle crabs at Brickfair.

 

Seriously. Think about how spectacular that would be. If loads of us BZPers who came to Brickfair or sent MOCs brought along a crab or two each, we could very quickly assemble an awful lot of them. People can build Ussals in various colors, bring Hahnah crabs from Jaller Mahri, and maybe even a few Rock Ussals from the VNOLG could make an appearance. At the very least my rock ussal will be there:

I feel like including Pewku from 2003 would just be excessive, since all the rest of the crabs are small and cute and then she'd just be this ginormous behemoth and it would be bad.

 

I think we should totally make this happen. Masses of little technic crabs. Just for the hilarity of it and the confusion it would cause on the other AFOLs' faces.

 

Who's with me?

If I could mail one in, I probably would. But I can't, so I won't... I've just been inspired to build a crab, even if I can't send it in.

Same here. I doubt I'll be able to mail mine in and I certainly won't be able to go to Brickfair but at least I'll have a cute little crab. I just :wub: crabs!

I'm getting started on my crab right now. He's going to have a lime green color scheme and will be plant-like (I shall name him Weedy.)

I just made a large, somewhat freakish crab. He's almost completely lime green so he's kind of hard on the eyes at first. He also appears to be made of plants as he is almost completely lime green and has vines for legs (I used the two shoulder armor pieces from Vastus.)

I've had a few ideas for tiny little MOCs and this crustacean idea fits well with some of them. Count me in, I have a few older crab designs I can re-work and maybe I'll get something new whipped up as well.

I thik it's a good idea. To bad I can't do it. It's not that I'm not alowed to, it's just that I SUCK at MoCing.

 

Autodude out.

You don't need to be able to MOC. I might point out that I never said anything about MOCs in this blog entry ever! All you'd need to be able to do is take Jaller's Hahnah crab or build an Ussal (for which you can download instructions right here).

 

In fact, the whole idea was kind of in the direction of using official crab designs, not MOCs, since I had the image of an army of lots and lots of the same type of crab. Though I'm not opposed to contributions of MOCs, I do hope people remember to send some real Bionicle crabs too, mmkay?

I have about a half dozen crabs ready to go, each of them are custom but not overly MOCed I would say, they still have a simplistic technic-crab look to them for the most part.

Hahnah Crabs too! Yes. I'm sending an Ussal Crab, but it's got a little cart attacked, which it is pulling. The cart has a BIONICLE rider inside. Would that be fine?
