Nexo-Koma

[admiraltyphoon]

 

A Scouting unit made for expanding Knighton's territory. Can also be used for colony patrol & defense.

 

 

This might seem a bit late, as this was my entry for Marchikoma, but I figured I'd post it here anyways.

Comments and Criticism welcome!

Nice model. The CCBS fists sticking out of the back legs look a little out-of-place, but other than that it's a great blend of System and CCBS. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks!

I wanted to find a way to use those Tr. Reddish Orange fists to "bulk up" the back legs.

The main reason it's a blend of CCBS and System was because the initial idea came when I modified Axl and Clay's Battle suits to use only Mixel joints;

I was left with 4 of the back arm construction (The one that connects the arms to the CCBS fist), so I started looking for ideas on how I could implement that into a system creation, and then I remembered there was Marchikoma (which is not a contest, BTW), and that's when I came up with the Nexo-Koma concept.

Ohhhh, a Nexo Knights Moc. Cool. The system and CCBS have been blended well, but I feel like this build needs a seat for the minifigures to ride on it.

The only Ghost in the Shell material I'm familiar with is the 90s movie and its sequel (and I guess The Matrix, if you wanna go that route), but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good MoC when I see it.  Nice.

I actually found out that Tachikomas include a seat only after I completed the MOC; even then, I couldn't even think of where to put a seat on it because I was very keen on using the new Nexo shield piece at the back of the body.

oO_Oo How long has Marchikoma been a thing!?

 

I've got enough Shirow Masamune stuff in my room to classify it as a museum, and I'm only discovering this now :_:

 

Looks like a great mix of themes, especially with Tachikomas being both a digital AI and a mechanical character. Maybe it's a tad long for traditional designs, but that's all a matter of artistic interpretation really. I wonder if you can figure out a way to hide flip out wheels in the feet?

 

My Bionikoma I built years ago can't fit a seat either, the parts I used didn't really allow it, and it was more of a visual choice for me. Mine's packed up for Brick Universe, but you can kind of get a look at it here at about 17 seconds in:
