NGD_GD01 / "Genesis" When you're as famous - or infamous - as the Nyrah Ghosts, whose engineering prowess produced the Fohrok and the Ghostblaster, it's only a matter of time before over-ambitious customers think money can make the impossible possible. The Order of Mata-Nui, a returning customer, once placed a pretty tall order - an autonomous army made up of machines which, unlike the dull Vahki, can think for themselves, reason, and even learn by editing their own programming. The weapon builders constructed a highly advanced machine, but struggled with the programming. They eventually devised a "drone-chain" concept, where the units would be networked and added to the network sequentially, and each new drone would learn from the experiences of the one before it. Unfortunately the system proved too complex, and the Ghosts failed in making it work. After several missed deadlines, the Order retracted the project, and instead bought 600 crates of Zamor launchers. However, one among the Nyrah, who was more motivated by academic achievement than profit decided to continue developing the idea. The first unit, the "genesis drone" of the chain, was already build, so he decided to created a self-enclosed system requiring no further units. Eventually he succeeded, and the drone was given an adaptive program capable of dynamically rewriting itself. The unit was given a strict ethical subroutine, disallowing harm to be done against any innocents and a strong simulated sense of justice. Finally, the creator gave the unit a purpose - to observe and study living biomechanical beings to alter his program accordingly and achieve sentience - be become "alive". By now, Genesis developed to a point where he's chosen a name for himself, and added certain beings to his list of high priority (something these beings insist on calling "friendship"). During his travels, he's helped several Matoran communities who didn't have their own Toa protectors, and strives to once have his deeds recognized with an honorary Toa title. --- The build process for Genesis was spawned by an idea that came to mind while building another MOC, and I ended up tossing this guy together in a few hours as opposed to the usual ~1 month build period. There is plenty to improve on him, and when I get the time, I will. The idea was grabbing a set from just before Bionicle G1 - a Roborider - and something just after Bionicle G1 - Hero Factory - and mashing them together with the goal of getting a result that is Bionicle-y. As always, criticisms and suggestions are welcome, and more pictures can be found here: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmbvvmCB

A bot designed to work in large furnaces & forges, Vern spends most of his days toiling away making sure machinery is kept running. The heat exchangers in his arms and legs coupled with a multitude of cooling tubes allows him to work in extremely hot environments for hours on end. Brickshelf Gallery Really liked how this guy turned out, finally found a use for that av-matoran torso & train wheels I had laying around. C&C appreciated, hope you guys like him!

PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) was created by robotics student Letta Arkwright to simulate the kinds of social competencies she struggled with in her own day-to-day life. PAIGE is powered by a digital brain with an unprecedented social learning engine. As PAIGE teaches her creator to relate to others and to understand her own emotional needs, she is also learning for herself what it means to be a person. This model of PAIGE uses over 830 pieces, stands 18.1 inches/46 centimeters/57.5 modules tall, weighs about 24 ounces/672 grams, and has 36 points of articulation. Her mouth, eyes, and eyebrows can be adjusted and/or swapped out to display different emotions.

My entry to BBC #74: The Dark Side of the Brick! BBC74: B2 Super Battle Droid by Mohamed Marei, on Flickr I had been wanting to build one of these bad boys for a while now, particularly during BBC #72, but then I discovered that Darth Maul head and things were never the same again. With this, I wanted to capture the general shape while keeping the appearance as coherent as possible. The occasional red pins are intentional; they add a bit of an accent to an otherwise pretty monotone creation. And it's not helped by the fact that the background is almost the same color. More pictures soon.

Brickshelf Gallery Apparently It's been five years since I first put together the feet. Although she has been finished for about a year now, I just never got around to taking pictures. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more illegal connections than legal, and I'm not entirely kidding when I say that. As a result, and also due to her size and unstable foot design, posing her was somewhat challenging. And when I say "somewhat" I mean "very." This is probably my last MOC for a while, so I hope you enjoy it.

So, I was hanging out with my friend who's back in town fro the holidays, and he and I were reliving the past, and he wanted to know how the Bionicle fandom was doing. So, I brought him up to speed on what BZPower has been up to, and just what all we'd seen in the storyline over the years. At some point during our conversation, we got to the topic of Mata Nui, the giant robot, the Matoran Universe, and the inhabitants therein. We went over how the Universe worked and debated the nature of how his body affected their little world. That's when it occurred to us: Mata Nui could have been such a jerk to the Matoran Universe. Think about it. First of all, his eyes acted as a sort of skylight for Metru Nui. We know that there was probably some artificial light generated by the inside of his eyes, as well, but as we saw in LoMN, the rampant formation of the island on his face during the great cataclysm blocked most of the light coming through and made it appear that his eyes were closing. Now, if that were the case all of the time, and the "suns" over the city were just big skylights, then Mata Nui, if he so chose, could have simply covered his eyes and blocked the light for a few minutes at a time while he was flying through space. Picture it, if you will: MN: Hm, I'm bored. (covers eyes) Night time! (uncovers eyes) Day time! (covers eyes) Night time! (and so on) I would hate to be working in Metru Nui if that just happened at random points in the day. Imagine all the sudden accidents it could cause. On another note, what would happen if Mata Nui just started poking himself? Are the MU inhabitants like fish in that they get freaked out when you tap the glass/protodermis casing? MN: (repeatedly taps biceps) Hey, hey, hey, Dark Hunters. How's Odina today? You guys enjoying the quakes? lol (begins poking other bicep) Yo, Artakha, my man, how's it going today, dude? I hope I didn't just disturb anything important you were working on. Or worse, if Mata Nui decided he wanted to sing during his interstellar travels. If his body is anything like ours, then his "vocal chords" would be right under/over Karzahni. And for something as big as he is, they would definitely feel the effects of the bass. It'd be like living on top of a city-sized subwoofer. I don't think I need to paint a picture of that one. Well, there you go. If you got a laugh out of it, great. That was part of the point. But it does raise a lot of questions, like how much of an effect could MN have on his subjects?

http://orig11.deviantart.net/699b/f/2016/078/3/0/dynomutt_x_10_by_mate397-d9vn6cu.jpg A while ago I saw an episode of Dexter's Laboratory and it just happened to be Dyno-Might, and after seeing DynoMutt X-9, it sparked an idea to make this little fella, may tweak on the head, maybe with some mixel joints should do the trick I suppose, then again I have no clue about those joints as I never bought any of the Mixels yet, so if anyone can suggest which specific piece would make a good neck connection feel free to tell.

Gallery The Schwerekraft-Gerät - that is, 'gravity device' - is truly a marvel of modern technology. The combined fruit of decades of research in robotics and physics, it - or she, if you're the sentimental sort - serves as our proof-of-concept illustrating the possibilities for androids outfitted with gravitonic modulation disks. By tapping into and manipulating gravity, the Schwerekraft-Gerät is capable of flight, a degree of telekinesis, and incredible destructiveness. The AI is imbued with the Three Laws of Robotics, though, so there's no way it could possibly do any real harm... Seeing Mohamed Marei and TheOneVeyronian's marvelous chess collab really inspired me to try take my LDD creations to the next level. So unlike my previous creation Kitten, which was largely standard CCBS fare, here I was intent upon sculpting custom limbs and fine detailing with lots of little fiddly bits. I'm looking forward to hearing your evaluations, and hope you enjoy.

Hello, and welcome to my first foray into System MOCs! Today I present to you Kenkaku, Scout Mecha, and it's intrepid pilot Maigo! This MOC is made from roughly 350 bricks, give or take a ball joint here and an axle there. The colors are White and Dark Royal Blue. Let's start with the main piece, Kenkaku! Standing an impressive 36 studs tall, this light Mecha is the main star of the battlefield, though only being meant for scouting. The rear is packed with various jump thrusters as seen here. Originally, I wanted them to be angled vents, but couldn't get a connection to work, so reverse tiles had to do it. On the other hand, The feet came out even better than I'd hoped, and are actually my favorite part. Finally, Maigo,the tsundere pilot. That's all for this MOC, let me know what you think in the comments, or even with just a like, and tell me what I could have done better! -
http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/JX-85-v2015-549751809 *JX-85 units were built for mobile air filtering usually used on space stations or in dome settlements built on a planet that is under going terraforming. These drones are able to purify the air with their filtering equipment attached to the arm and back. The process happens in two steps, first the air gets sucked into the arm compartment where the bigger particles get stuck on specific filters, from there the air travels to the backpack where the more precise filtering/purification can happen. Often these robots are referred to as janitors because they are also tasked with keeping everything clean as much as possible.* Well, this fella didn't get too much of a change but just enough. Haven't touched him since 2010, not many MOC of mine can say that, that their overall looked has not been changed for so long. None the less I still like this little guy, and thought I give it a few newer parts, plus the original look of the backpack started to look very outdated/clunky and required a better, more fitting look.

A once infamous and much feared space pirate from hundreds of years ago, Captain Jovius Flint has long since faded into obscurity among much of the known universe. A very primitive model of robot meant to crew exploration ships, Flint at some point led a mutiny against the captain and claimed the ship as his own. The Red Giant, as it was known, soon became a sight that terrified trade fleets everywhere. With huge, billowing solar sails and lightning crackling from the electrified rigging, it swept into battle and left few ships operational after battle. Flint's model was made obsolete and discontinued after his turn to piracy, and he was perhaps the only surviving example left a century into his career. As such, similarly outmoded robots comprised the majority of his crew. In fact, many of their targets were ships bearing materials from industrial planets--materials meant to be used in the construction of newer, better types of robots. With these they patched up their failing bodies and extended their warranties. Flint himself eventually had to replace an arm and a leg. Close Up Profile Back Flint was around at the founding of Makuhero city, and existed still when Hero Factory produced its first line of heroes. They proved to be a tougher foe than the police drones he was accustomed to. Hero Factory itself became a personal target of his bitterness as it continuously churned out better heroes and newer technology. It came to pass that some four hundred years ago a Hero Factory Recon Team had The Red Giant cornered against an asteroid field. Like Flint and its crew it was long past its prime. The rust-eaten hull was patched with scraps from its prey, and the sails no longer shone the same blazing red as they once had. Faced with the threat of imprisonment, the pirates took their chances in the asteroid field. The Recon Team was unable to give chase for fear of being crushed by the tumultuous rocks. It was presumed that Flint met his doom that day as his attacks on trade fleets stopped. Recently there's been rumors of a 'ghost ship' lurking around the long-abandoned mining planet of Kornis. Details are sparse as of yet, but it's largely believed that this ship resembles the solar-sail driven hulk used by Flint. Many attest that it is Flint's ship, as improbable as it is. For The Red Giant to have survived that long in hiding would be a miracle in itself. Even more amazing would be its brash and bitter captain to have kept quiet for so long. Only time will tell if Captain Jovius Flint is truly gone from this Galaxy, or still haunts its outer reaches...

Scientists were able to take the brain of a C. elegans roundworm, convert it into programming, and download it into a Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot. And it works!! There is now such a thing as a digital worm. And it is inside a Lego robot. Here are several news reports on it: http://singularityhub.com/2014/12/15/worm-brain-simulation-drives-lego-robot/ http://www.newstatesman.com/future-proof/2014/12/worms-brain-lego-robot-alive-or-just-creepy http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/scientists-put-worm-brain-lego-robot-body-article-1.2045518 http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/weve-put-worms-mind-lego-robot-body-180953399/?no-ist Creepy, isn't it?

Makuta's last creation was set to guard the Mask of Diminsions that Makuta created, but Ekimu deemed to dangerous. Both brothers agreed that SHOCKWAVE would guard the mask. The mask was then placed deep within the heart of Okoto and forgotten.

I'm curious, at what point did you realize that Mata Nui was actually a giant robot that the Matoran all lived in? I, unfortunately, cannot remember for sure, but I think it was early in 2008, during the Phantoka line. I cannot remember what caused me to realize it, but I can remember the awe of that discovery and my. . . excitement at realizing something so big. So, when did you realize this?
