I was talking to a couple of kids the other day, aged around eleven or twelve years old. The subject of Bionicle came up:"You know they're not making Bionicles any more, right?" said one."Yeah, I heard about that," I said. "But they still make something similar, right?""They make Hero Factory, which is kinda lame. " he said."The TV show is really bad. I mean, they all have guns and stuff, but because it's a kids' show, they can't actually shoot properly. They keep missing each other. ALL THE TIME." said his friend."They're like stormtroopers!"The kids still liked Bionicle sets, and still played with them, but neither of them had bought any Hero Factory sets. But from what I could tell, neither of them had been particularly interested in the Bionicle story- they didn't even seem to know the characters' names. However, they had encountered Hero Factory's storyline, and it was apparently enough to deter them from buying the sets.Now, this isn't necessarily a criticism of Hero Factory, since they might have just as easily been put off Bionicle if they'd happened to watch The Legend Reborn. But I think it illustrates how having a good- or bad- story can affect a child's enthusiasm for buying toys. Now, maybe it's just that Hero Factory is pitched at a slightly younger audience, but I think a few tweaks to the story and a different approach to the TV show would make it more compatible with kids over the age of ten.Another example- Beyblades. They're pretty ordinary as far as toys go- they're little more than dressed-up spinning tops. They didn't sell well in some Australia when they first came out...until Australian TV started showing the cartoon. Suddenly, everyone wanted one, and my mother spent several hours outside Toys 'R' Us in a long line just so my little brother could have a Master Dragoon for Christmas.So, for you, how do the Bionicle and Hero Factory storylines affect which toys you buy?

ZMoC-12: Vapor 2.0The assassin "Vapor" was defeated by Duncan Bulk during the Von Nebula incident, but managed to escape capture. After the Quatros incident, he reappeared to ambush Bulk and revealed a new, upgraded form. This new form, dubbed "Vapor 2.0," features a new mist sphere blaster with much higher power than his previous weapons, a blade that can release corrosive mist to enhance its cutting ability, and vents throughout the armor that allow mist to be released at any second, providing Vapor with an instant smokescreen. Furno has been sent to assist Bulk by testing the new Chimera Program, allowing Furno and Bulk to combine their bodies into one Hero, but even this may not be enough...[large file size linked]Yeah, I use a slightly altered HF story. Anyway, I was disappointed that Vapor was ignored and felt he had potential, so I made up some background and rebuilt him. Course, I'm not the best MoCist...so feedback would be GREATLY appreciated! Then I can use that feedback to create a Vapor 3.0...The Vapor 2.0 Brickshelf Gallery.

Chronicle 2: I'm Back (Plus An Announcement About My Comedies)!
V.M.Torious 4.0 posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_791
Hello BZPower Universe! It's been a while since I've posted anything at BZP, especially in the Comedies section in 2009. Well, here's a better intro for this... FINALLY... VM HAS COME BACK... TO BZPOWER!!! ...enough said. If you're wondering why I've changed my username from Vakama Montana0111 to V.M.Torious 4.0, then here's why. As I discovered the new forums, I wanted a brand-new, fresh look to my username and character from the previous forum and Bionicle is over. So, I decided to find something that sounds cool and Hero Factory-like. The first step was to take the first two letters of my screen name (the letters "V" and "M") and shorten it to make an initial (don't worry guys, "V.M." still stands for my former username, "Vakama Montana"). Next, it's time to find a word, or should I say, a word pun. As I was going through the Hero Factory Wiki, something came into mind, and the word "Victorious" came into my head, out of nowhere. So I merged "VM" and "Victorious" together like Lego bricks, and this became "V.M.Torious". Finally, I needed a version number. Since this is the fourth time using the Vakama Montana username, I opted for version 4.0. And that's how "V.M.Torious 4.0" was born. Oh, and you wanna know why I was gone for so long? Okay, here's the lowdown: I know that ever since I joined BZPower in 2007, a lot of things had changed, especially between 2009 & 2010, when Lego replaced Bionicle with Hero Factory. I have been mostly inactive during that time period, with the exception of posting in some of the BZP topics regarding about current events going on in the Lego Universe (I'm talking about Lego news and stuff, not the MMORPG game of the same name that's about to go offline in February 2012). And there's the "BZP Forum Shutdown Crisis of 2011", when BZP's forums went offline for sometime between Spring and Fall 2011. I was planning to make a comeback in the Comedies forum at that time, but I lost interest during that time period. So here I am, a month after the forums re-opened on BZP. As soon as I heard that the forums are going to re-open, I've began planning my comeback to the Comedies section, but for me, it took about a month for me to decide whether to bring back some of my classic comedies, or start all over again from scratch just like back in 2007. And this is where my huge announcement begins: I am bringing back some of my hit comedies to the new BZP forums! But, I need your help, guys, and this is the fun part! Here are the comedies that you will be voting on: 1. Inika Palace Hotel (season 1, a.k.a. the first 26 chapters) 2. Club Nuva 3. Bionicles on Lego Island 4. The Many Farces of Toa Tuyet (a spoof of "The Many Deaths of Toa Tuyet" by Greg Farshtey; this is going to be a remake) However, there is one exception. I will not be bringing back non-Bionicle parody comedies (for example, Nokama Montana, if any of you guys remember) because they have been either deleted from my old computer when I got a new one during this summer, or been removed from the BZP forums when they crashed in 2009. So vote for your favorite Vakama Montana comedy by mentioning only one of the four comedies listed above, but feel free to add your opinion on why you want that comedy to be brought back to the new Comedies forum. The comedy with the most votes by December 31, 2011 will be brought back in a re-mastered format (yes, that means cleaning up the script so that it looks nicer for the new forum) on January 2012! And here's another announcement... if the comedy that you voted gets enough replies on the new forum, then I will be writing new chapters of that comedy starting in Spring 2012! Good luck folks! And if you can't remember any of the comedies listed above, then here's a link to my old comedy library from the previous forum below: http://www.bzpower.c...howtopic=257718 Since it's in an archived state, please do not make new comments on the comedy libray. Have fun and enjoy the memories! ~ VM4.0 -
Alright, so I built a Toa of Ice self-MOC, but it used most of my "cool bits", like the pieces that make up the thighs.Anyway, I managed to buy a golden Krakhaan of a friend, and I really wanted to use it in a MOC, but it was too big for most of my toa.My eyes drifted over the self-MOC, by now a silver Toa of Iron with the Stars Ahvokhi...In a fit of Ciaphas Cain induced WH40K obsession, I used Xplode's shoulderpads and Duncan Bulk's chest and legs as armor and a jetpack, yielding a Spaise Mairen-ish body type.Gallery (when public): http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=489189Deeplinked pics:http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TheCryoMancer/MakutaRemake/photo_on_11-18-11_at_1.51_pm.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TheCryoMancer/MakutaRemake/photo_on_11-18-11_at_1.52_pm.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TheCryoMancer/MakutaRemake/photo_on_11-18-11_at_1.54_pm.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TheCryoMancer/MakutaRemake/photo_on_11-19-11_at_1.57_pm.jpg-The CryoMancer -Edit: Darn, I knew that pic was too big....

An old MOC of mine. I liked it, so I thought I'd just repost it. Thoughts appreciated.

I AM BACK.... And I plan on staying for a longer time, too. And this time, I won't let harassment from other members keep me from being on here. Seeing as BZPower has gotten a major revamp since your Uncle Shadows was last here, looks like a lot of the stuff I wrote is gone... at least, so I thought. I know there's still the archive of the old forums. Which might be a pain for me to look through in its entirety, but oh well, such is life.I'm going to bring back a comedy I started on long ago, which actually wasn't meant to be more than a chapter, yet it has 2 in the original version, and I may just make more to it if people like it enough. Here is a comedy based on one of my original characters, the spirit of Death herself Elitha.Chapter 1: The Fellowship of the Fools*far away in some other realm, there lived a once beautiful young woman named Elitha who was forced to craft a mask that would eventually become her prison. Enslaved by the mask of death, Elitha has been driven mad and riddled with anger and confusion. She has yet to master the power of the mask, but she can't be underestimated. Very few have lived to defeat her, but Elitha wishes to change that. This is the story of a woman on a mission, and a list made by the same woman. Elitha's List.**Somewhere on Destral... an abandoned, desolate island fortress...*Elitha: I assume that none of you know why I’ve assembled you here, am I right?Meltdown: And why pray tell should we have to listen to you?Elitha: Because I killed your master and now I’m forced to take his place because that creep Lord of shadows likes to torture me...Thunder, laughs: You let puny man control your life? Ha ha ha! I laugh at you!Elitha: He controls your life too.Thunder: Argh! No!!!Xplode: And how’d a dame like you manage to kill off the hunch back of who cares?Elitha: It’s a long story...Thunder: Stories are for baby cowards!Rotor: So then, “boss,” what do you want us to do?Elitha: It’s simple: We kill the Brotherhood of Makuta and those Toa.Thunder: Brotherhood is babies! Too many little men on this team!Rotor: Who you calling little, tiny?Xplode: If you were from where I was from, you’d be dead!Thunder: You are so small!Corroder, laughing: Kaboom to you, sir don’t feel bad! You did a fine job tossing your little balls around.Thunder: Spy! I see Spy!*Corroder laughing.*Elitha: How did this happen anyway?*flashback...*Von Nebula: You’re kinda cute.Elitha: Why are you talking to me?Von Nebula: You wanna go somewhere with me?Elitha: No. I haven’t even lured you into my gambit and you’re already coming onto me?Von Nebula: I’d go anywhere for you.Elitha: Why don’t you go die?Von Nebula: I can’t do that.Elitha: I’m going to have fun killing you...Von Nebula: What? How?Elitha: The Kanohi Mask of Death, that’s how...Von Nebula: Can’t we just work this out first?Elitha: You know, you’re right... wanna dance, big boy?Von Nebula: Really? Wow! But I haven’t taken any dance classes since--*the sound of a record scratching sounds and Elitha’s “song” starts.*Elitha: Shut up and dance.Von Nebula: Uh... what’s with the scary music?Elitha, singing: Because tonight I'm working over time… Are you ready to cross the line? Because I'll treat you until the break of dawn… you're not alone…Von Nebula: Wait, what is this?Elitha: Who you going to call?*As the music of Night Nurse continues, Elitha kicks Von Nebula’s staff away as she gets closer to him and takes her scissor scythe in hand.*Elitha: Don't wanna be your lover, oh no. But I could your remedy, oh-oh. I don't wanna be your lover, oh no, but I can be your remedy, your cure…*Von Nebula feels himself go numb and his body become stiff. Elitha uses her powers to raise him in the air and slam him against a wall.**So since this part may be somewhat scarier for our younger viewers, it has been conveniently cut out. However, it included how Eltiha took care of Von Nebula. Moving back from there...*Elitha: There’s a reason they call me the black widow, I suppose.Lord of shadows: There’s also a reason why Lewa has those nightmares of you, the “Night-Nurse mask...”Elitha: You’re not welcome here! !!!LOS: You gotta catch me first! *He disappears and leaves Elitha with her new minions.*Elitha: I’ll get you someday, Lord of shadows, and that little singer of yours, too. Great, when did this become the Wizard of Oz?Thunder: Ha ha ha! It is funny to me!Meltdown: I say, why are you all acting more ridiculous than usual? Is it because we are in the presence of a female?Xplode: What’s it to you?Rotor: We don’t have to give this dame any special treatment?*Elitha uses her powers to turn Rotor into a chipmunk.*Elitha: There, now that’s much better, don’t you think?All: Elitha: Anyone else care to question my powers?*They all shake their heads nervously.*Elitha: Good boys. *She changes Rotor back to his ugly self.*Rotor: Hey, the narrator called me ugly!Elitha: Shut up and get over it.Xplode: Hold on, we still don’t know anything about you.Elitha: You wanna know a little something about me? Fine. They don’t call me the black widow for nothing... I lure foolish men into my trap, play on their emotions, and take their life force. It’s nothing personal, it’s just business, you know. I need some sort of energy to keep myself young and healthy. The brotherhood is just one of many targets on my list...*She slams a list on the table of many beings she wishes to take out. Von Nebula’s name is crossed out... at the top are the names of Lord of shadows and Natalie Horler. Below them are the names of The Shadowed One, Remote, and Lewa and other characters she crossed paths with.*Thunder: It is good day to be giant man!Xplode: Why’s there some chick’s name on here?Elitha: Due to her association with Lord of shadows... she must perish, too. I’m going to have you all help me.Rotor: Fine, I’m in then. Is the chick we going after hot?Elitha: Lord of shadows does have some... infatuation with her, so I guess so.Xplode: All right!Thunder: Now is coward-killing time! Move! *humming funeral march.*Meltdown: No need to be so pushy.Corroder: This ought to be fun. Where’s Vapour?Elitha: No one cares about him. Besides, he’s just a rip-off of you and Rotor. So I take it you’re all in then?Rotor: You bet we are.Elitha: Good... I can see it now. I’m going to need a whole lot of aspirin for this job, I can tell.

So Lately I've been having these Ideas for a Hero Factory Team named Beta Team. They are a group of bots-in-testing that have been equipped with the most up-to-date and experimental equipment in the Factory. So with this Idea, I have the following project Ideas (all positive criticism, advice, and ideas welcome): Rex Stormer- The first and founding member of Beta Team, designed as a testing unit after the successful design of Preston Stormer. Just to let you all know and so no one asks about the name, I didn't smash Nex and Stormer together and change a letter. It was complete coincidence. I've already began working on him, and did his 1.0 version with Preston's 1.0 pieces equipped with custom legs (this is the point on which I decided I'd call him stormer also, since I didn't have much to work with haha). I recently got Stormer 3.0 and completely redid him with the 3.0 build (as a 2.0 Hero) and modifying the armor/weapons placement and design, plus adding on the 1.0's jet pack and a custom sword (based off of the Warhammer 40,000 style chainswords), but I'd like to make him better if I can. I also have made a 3.0 version of him on the Lego Digital Designer, with which he is essentially a combination of Stormer and Bulk 3.0, with the wolf theme dominating, as an “Alpha Wolf”. He had a Wolf’s Paw claw hand and an ice blade attached to his hip which he can hold in his open left hand, and a spare compact Ice Shield on his back in emergencies.Rex Pose 1.0: http://www.brickshel...ionicle/026.jpgRex 1.0: http://www.brickshel...ionicle/028.jpgRex 1.0 leg desgn: http://www.brickshel...ionicle/029.jpgRex 2.0: http://www.brickshel...ionicle/033.jpgRex 2.0 back: http://www.brickshel...ionicle/031.jpgRex 2.0 Chainsword: http://www.brickshel...ionicle/034.jpg Troy Gunner- as his name suggests, he is the teams primary source of long range firepower and is engineered with the best prototype ranged gear in the shop. To tell the truth, I haven't even begun working on him yet besides the ideas for his 2.0 form I built on Lego Digital Designer. So far he has an experimental enhancement of Surge 2.0’s ice rifle, enhanced with a scope, extra ammo cartridges and whatnot. I’m also playing with the idea of having a pistol of some kind that I could attach to his hip or maybe a knife for close combat, but I’m not entirely sure yet.Troy LDD: http://www.brickshel...ionicle/057.jpg Jenny Fencer- Jenny is the teams main up close and personal fighter, built to take a lot of blows and stay standing. Similarly to Troy, Jenny has only been built in 2.0 form on the Designer. I wasn’t sure exactly on what her weapons should be, so I made a cresent style sword with a Furno 3.0 bow piece and an axe type weapon (contrary to her name, I know, but it was my first idea haha) out of the 2.0 hook things and the long pin pieces and a mostly defensive version of an ice shield.Jenny LDD: http://www.brickshel...ionicle/056.jpg So the main question I’ve had is what should I do for getting said heroes? I’m torn between buying the sets needed for the project and ordering them from Lego Digital Designer. The thing with getting the sets needed (which would be Stormer 2.0, Surge 2.0, and Nex 2.0) is that it would get me the main pieces needed but I wouldn't get some of the other stuff. The thing with getting them from the Designer is that I'd get everything exactly as planned, but the cost is a lot higher. I'm kinda leaning toward getting them in stores, but what do you think I should do? PLEASE REPLY AND GIVE YOUR HELP, ADVICE AND IDEAS

And again, hello everyone!I has made a few HF MOCs on LDD, and first of them is this Hero. I suppose he is the one who helps Makuhero Police Department.In this model I did a few experiments. At first, I has made Ordeal-Of-Fire-style backplate. Then, I has attached Bionicle Mistika shield and extended Surge 2.0's rifle.Get the LXF-File

Source: Savage Planet=Bionicle '01? Let's just hope this doesn't start Bionicle v. HF up again..... -Heat

Perhaps it was the excessive doses of a certain tropey website that got me thinking. Before I begin, I would like to ask you to sit down. Now, please do not take this as something that is meant to flame HF fans, Bionicle fans, other Lego fans, Belgian rugs, or anybody else. This is a theory of mine. Upon looking at the basic story line of Savage Planet, I realized how eerily similar it was to the storyline of Bionicle year one. Now bear with me here, I'm going to summarize both tales in layman's terms. I know that some details are quite different, but I'll address that later. Savage Planet: 6 heroes who need a lesson in teamwork and are built to save the universe are sent to a wild setting where monsters are rampaging. It then turns out that through the use of what might be seen as a plot device, (Quaza spikes) a mysterious and somewhat demonic Big Bad (Witch Doctor) is behind everything. A super-powered version of the heroes (Rocka XL) assists them in taking on the villain, and they ultimately defeat him. 2001: 6 heroes who need a lesson in teamwork and are built to save the universe are sent to a wild setting where monsters are rampaging. It then turns out that through the use of what might be seen as a plot device (infected masks), a mysterious and somewhat demonic Big Bad (Makuta Teridax) is behind everything. A super-powered version of the heroes (Toa Kaita) assists them in taking on the villain, and they ultimately defeat him.But wait, there's more! Quaza and Kanohi are both sources of power that can be used for good or evil. And I'm not done. Both lines are made by the same people (essentially), and were created almost exactly ten years apart.Coincidence? I sincerely doubt it. Of course, there are several details that are different in either storyline. But when you strip it down, they both seem the same. Now, there are only three possible reasons behind this. First, Lego is making a subconscious tribute to Bionicle. This happens to writers, including me. Certain things that we enjoyed are transmitted without our knowledge into our works.The second reason is that Savage Planet is an intentional tribute. This is another way of Lego saying goodbye to one of it's most famous and successful franchises ever. Also, it would tell the old tale so many know and love to a new audience in a new way. In other words, using the same formula that worked ten years ago. In addition, old fans of Bionicle will approve of the spiritual successor even more, since it celebrates its father series's tenth anniversary. The third reason is one that I think is slightly harsh and far fetched, unless someone provides more evidence for it: Lego, ladies and gentlemen, is running out of ideas. They need to recycle something that worked before, change a few details, and put it in the market to make more money. Of course, there's nothing wrong with doing this to help pay the bills at home, and maintain their lifestyle, but it is quite sad that creativity is going down the tubes, if this idea is correct. No, this does not mean that I think Greg is losing his style. He is one of my inspirations, and won't be 'stale' for me for a long time. I am pointing out the possibility that LEGO'S creativity going stale, not his. I, MakutaKlak, somewhat believe that it is the second reason that is true. Lego is making a conscious tribute to the line we all know and love. Discuss at your discretion. Shoot down whatever you think is wrong, and support whatever you think is right. I still think this is an interesting similarity, and I sincerely doubt that it is mere coincidence. I think the lines are supposed to be the same storylinewise (making up words is WUNDERBAR). Again, I don't want to hurt anyone. I just have to tell it like it is.

I think this may be my favourite summary of Hero Factory's first year thus far: W-wait, let me stop you there. Is it? Is it really? I have no idea why Von Nebula was a threat to anyone, why he wanted revenge or why he didn't try to fight back. I really don't call that good writing. Well, would you like me to explain it to you in brief? You can check on HEROsector01 too. No thank you, I've watched the episodes and read the comics and learnt all I've needed to. He abandoned the team because no-one actually got killed, ran away and then decided to blame it on Stormer, wanting revenge because nothing actually happened. Then he somehow got an upgrade that gave him non-descript powers and decided to live in a black hole for a while, with a staff of unknown origins, but I guess it's meant to be evil because he's holding it and stares at it like it's only friend/television. Then he somehow gathers four of the most dangerous criminals (Who get easily defeated) and has them randomly go out and start poking Hero Factory for some reason. Then he has his final confrontation where he sits there glaring at Stormer and Furno a while before they get bored and decide to actually do something, defeating his black hole with a method that defies phsyics. Then Stormer, who's never actually held the staff before, somehow finds the on switch and absorbs Nebula, disintegrating him like Nebula should have done in the first place if he actually wanted revenge.

Ok, I have realized, after watching Savage Planet many many times, that some things appear to be severely screwed up. Here are my theories. Quaza has very strange effects. When the power of raw Quaza is forced into the body of a being with no Quaza already in its anatomy, it was little to no affect, as seen when Witch attacked Scorpio with his Quaza Skull Staff. But, when he did the same to Stormer, he was in horrible pain because his Hero Core was overloaded and his small body couldn't take the immense energy. When Witch put the Quaza Spikes on the animals, their bodies rejected the outside power source because they are techno-organic. But, because the power was injected directly into the spinal cord of the animals, it affected the biomechanical medulla oblongata and caused a drastic increase in aggression (like an alligator). When Witch took control of the animals, the Quaza was linked directly to that of his staff which was also directly linked to his skull face, which is, of course, linked to his own mind. When he took control of them entirely, they expressed anger and pain. When Witch had his staff broken, the lack of the power of Quaza inside him caused a horrible withdrawal and is slowly killing him. The Quaza took over as his primary source of power, acting like an overloaded Hero Core. It is dying because it cannot be recharged, and results in a diseased Witch Doctor. Another thing: Rocka's Hero Core was almost completely dead after a short, easy mission and a fight with a couple of dogs. Nex used a small amount of his own Quaza energy to revive Rocka's depleted Core. Wouldn't that only give Rocka enough energy for a small amount of time? When Rocka was fitted with Lion armor, he must have used Nex's portable recharging kit, meaning there would be no more energy left for the other Heroes. This means he has more energy than the rest of them, and Nex has less. Later, Nex was severely beaten by Scorpio but still had enough energy to fight Raw-Jaw and recharge the teleportation tunnel. The power of the Hero Core seems to be inconsistent. Non-Quaza related: It would appear that Raw jaw is the given name of a specific young Gorrillaphant and not the name of the species. Scorpio also seems to be the name of a large Quatros Scorpion. Waspix may or may not be like that, but the one shown appeared to be female, and cared very little for those who saved her from slavery and, ultimately, death. The same went with Scorpio. When Furno ripped off one Quaza Spike, only one was not enough to control it, but it was still mildly aggressive and gave its own life for vengeance. He threw Furno off his back, and instead of thanking him, he merely looked that general direction and gave a slight nod. Scorpio then was attacked and eventually KILLED by Raw-Jaw. Also, it was said that Witch had a pack of Fangz by his side at all times. In Savage Planet, only two were seen during the entire episode. Am I right? Did I miss anything? Please tell me what you think.

Attention, Hero Factory Heroes! Now that we've reestablished online communications, we thought it vital to re-post this message:Our Hero Recon agents doing intel on the Jungle Planet have discovered the existence of yet another dangerous creature: the Ballistic Beetle. It appears that, though its folding wings are too weak to get it off the ground, it can jump into the air using its strong hind legs, and stay airborne from there. Its most dangerous weapon seems to be the three prongs on the front of its bright blue head: the Beetle is known to dive-bomb prey from a high altitude and spear them with its weapons. Here's a picture we've managed to obtain of the creature: Here's the rest of the data-file of pictures: FlyingRight flankBackConfronting Hero Nex 2.0 More pictures will be available here if they are obtained.This data-update is being left open so that you, our important Heroes, can ask questions, make comments, or just discuss this newly-discovered threat. Please, feel free to leave any comments you may have. -

Has anybody else bought a Hero using Hero Recon? I did, and was very pleased with it. The packaging is great, the instructions are actually kind of useful, and you get a sticker! A STICKER! Oh, and fortunately, I ordered before they ran out of chestplates. Now that is a cool piece. I do dislike the naming system, though.

Well, the forums are back, and people are reacquainting themselves with BZPower. So I'll post something before I forget that I don't like posting in the BBC. Anyway, here are two Hero-Factory-esquay MOCs that I created for the convention season and stuffs. Both were at BrickFair 2011 and BrickCon 2011... although I'm sure few people actually remember seeing them at the convention. I haven't got much feedback on them so far... maybe that can change here? Maybe? Let's see! Pictures from Flickr (my account, obviously, it's not like I'm stealing stuff, and if I am, I'm sure I could do better than me...) Fangz Shark This simple guy is constructed using mostly pieces from the Fangz HF set. Okay, I lie; the longer black armor pieces and two spikes did end up coming from Scorpio, and the stand is obviously system. But I was disappointed with the actual Fangz set, and I feel that this MOC condensed it down nicely, and the head is still suitable for a shark. Kinda. Well, at least I got rid of those stupid neck spears. Anyway, a truly Hero Factory MOC, no? Andalite Anyone remember Animorphs? Anyway, this is my third or so attempt at MOCing an Andalite, and this time I made use of the Hero Factory elements. The bulk of the body IS constructed from ball-joint limb and body pieces... I was partially inspired after building Scorpio. It could be better, yes, but I love how the tail came out. Also, I had to buy an insane amount of Surge 2.0 sets to get enough blue armor pieces, since he's the only set that has them in blue. Okay, so I only bought 4, and on sale too, but I didn't want Surge in the first place, so it was a tough call. Um, that's it for now. I have some more things that I need to take pictures of, as well as some ideas that need to be made. Maybe I'll start posting MOCs here again. Maybe. Anyway, thanks for reading (or not).

Raptorix: Stop being the trilobite. If you recall correctly, you never succeeded in becoming the trilobite known as WALLISEROPS, primarily due to the fact that they have been extinct for a hundred million years. Nor could you become any of his other UNDERWATER FRIENDS, due to the fact that you don't know that anything lives underwater. Frankly, you're just happy to be back to your old self. No extra arms, no OTHER DINOSAURS, just plain old RAPTORIX. In fact, you are so happy that you decide to spin around in a circle on a MAGIC REFLECTIVE DISCUS and bleat like a goat. Yes, the world is your SHELLED MEAT PRODUCT, ready for the taking. What will you do?

This is like the greatest thing since BIONICLE! Who else likes it? What sets do you guys have? Just wondering? I have about all of them except some 2011 villains and most of the 2010 villains. The Furno Bike is an amazing set in my opinion by the way!

Repost shtuffs. Just for fun. Having some trouble with the coding for some reason, so bear with me if stuff is lacking. "It came on great oiled, resilient, striding legs. It towered thirty feet above half of the trees, a great evil god, folding its delicate watchmaker's claws close to its oily reptilian chest. Each lower leg was a piston, a thousand pounds of white bone, sunk in thick ropes of muscle, sheathed over in a gleam of pebbled skin like the mail of a terrible warrior. Each thigh was a ton of meat, ivory, and steel mesh. And from the great breathing cage of the upper body those two delicate arms dangled out front, arms with hands which might pick up and examine men like toys, while the snake neck coiled. And the head itself, a ton of sculptured stone, lifted easily upon the sky. Its mouth gaped, exposing a fence of teeth like daggers. Its eyes rolled, ostrich eggs, empty of all expression save hunger. It closed its mouth in a death grin. It ran, its pelvic bones crushing aside trees and bushes, its taloned feet clawing damp earth, leaving prints six inches deep wherever it settled its weight." Good story, btw. Highly recommend it if you haven't read it. Anyway. Unfortunately, I didn't have the most time in the world for this contest, so I finished something that had been partially assembled for a while. Its a revamp of an ooold MOC of mine from a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. And the original seemed to be quite a fan favorite, although in retrospect I think it was rather hideous, but in any case hopefully this one will be well received as well. Oh, yeah, also: brief backstory. It's a flying dinosaur. It also goes rawr and OM NOM NOMs people/heroes. Its babies are fluffy and adorable. That's the gist of it.

A few important points, also. Yes, it does have more than enough Hero Factory pieces for the contest requirement. At least ten can be seen in the front images, and various other ones are on different parts of the body. Credit to Elzy for the awesome claw design.
