Taria Pakari Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Logan mate, this is sick! The functions, the articulation, the overall design... you've outdone yourself! That head is absolutely fantastic, and I love the sheer bulk on him. Very imposing. Oddly enough I feel the exposed functions on the back work well. Really gives the feel that the inhabitants of the MU are more mechanical than they are organic. Excellent work! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mugbearer Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Dude, this is sick! I love everything, from the structure to overall design!

The Invisible Handman Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Wow, he looks outright manic with those teeth, and the custom torso with a gear function is incredible.

Bonkle Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 This guy looks great, but I think he loses some of the 2007 aesthetic. Unlike earlier years, the 2007 villains were really organic. This Nocturn is a bit too mechanical to me. 1 Quote I been away a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kookie Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Awesome work! The teeth and that sweet gearbox really seal the deal. 1 Quote Story Dump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pohaturon Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Welp, guess it's time for me to quit MOCing.... In all seriousness, this is awesome. If it would be a set, then it would be a definite buy! 1 Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group. Former contributor at New Elementary. My MOCs can be found on Flickr and Instagram.

Ghidora131 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 While it's not very complex, it flows well and captures the look of the original. Nicely done! I always love to see another one of your custom gearboxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescent Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Amazing rendition of Nocturn! I love the gearbox, and your construction of the head. The tentacle is creative, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millennium Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) As I already told you on Facebook, "this is ####### gorgeous"! I think this is one of your most brilliant creations to date, on par with...that one, blue with the tri-claw. Sorry, I'm not good with names!

-Windrider- Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 That maw is terrifying. You've always been good at combining sleek designs with complicated custom functions, and this is no exception. Great work! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrie Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Loving that piston aesthetic. Nice throwback to the '07 model designs. 1 Quote bZpOwEr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenPancake_ Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Ohmywow. This is awesometacular. Now I really want to see the Barakki in this style. I especially like the mandibles. They emulate the set form so well! 1 Quote A big thank you to Toucan Sam for the Okotian name. [topic=][/topic] [ON HIATUS] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onvermel Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Now that is Nocturn. I absolutely love the head and just the whole intimidating/crazed look. Onvermel 1 Quote "I believe in certainties.

Hovoki Zehvor Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 This is awesome! The original Nocturn was a great set, but this version looks downright scary! Fantastic work blending some classic G1 pieces like the Nivawk hands with G2 elements. 1 Quote https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnaHFstqCK97bHNwpwztn_Q Check out my YouTube channel for LEGO, YuGiOh and Pokemon videos!

Wiriamu Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Dude, this is what Nocturn SHOULD have looked like. I like the official set, but he seemed pretty scrawny to be destroying an island with one punch. 2 Quote Voicing your opinions with tact is the best way to keep a discussion from becoming an argument.So far as I'm aware, it's pronounced like this: We're ee ah moo.

Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 You've done it again "Another Logan McOwen original" This thing is literally filled to the brim with detail and charm, yet brilliantly intimidating as well. and the 2 gear functions are amazing, but is he back-heavy in any way? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrokorta Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Man, that gear system is sexy. Well this looks great, and I agree with Wiriamu, it's better that he look so buffed up rather than the set we got. 1 Quote If you use correct grammar in your posts (or try hard to), place this in your signature.

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Like everyone's saying- you deserve it. This MoC is fantastic both in terms of looks and from a technical standpoint.

BIzzy Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Wowwee that is a really elegant and neat looking figure - especially the arms and toolset! The jaws here are cooler than the actual set that year. The torso and legs and even the skeleton looks solid too. Nice building! 1 Quote pirate wreck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volatile Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) The engineering that went into this is just mind-blowing and the design is nothing short of superb. Well done.

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Unless I am forgetting something else, this is the best CCBS moc I have ever seen.

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 This is beautiful. After that "roaring" pose, I know I wouldn't have been able to resist the urge to name him Nocturn, Lord of the Fisticuffs. That whip is also an excellent touch, and I'm kinda in love with the movable teeth you've given him. 1 Quote We will remember - Skies may fade and stars may wane; we won't forget And your light shines bright - yes so much brighter shine on We will remember - Until the skies will fall we won't forget We will remember We all shall follow doom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Can I ask why you decided to make his tentacle-hand a whip?

Logan McOwen Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Thanks for your comments guys, much appreciated! Can I ask why you decided to make his tentacle-hand a whip? That was how it was portrayed in the original set, so that's how I made it. I didn't actually know it was an actual tentacle until I was only recently told as such.

Great Being Velika Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 This is remarkable! I especially like the touches "gums" provide. I never was a huge fan of the new building system, but this changes everything. I love the integration of technic functions, and its overall streamlined appearance.
