Djokson Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) The result of a utility robot coming across a yet undiscovered alien parasite species in the depths of an off-world mining facility. The resulting abomination wiped out 70 percent of the site staff and laid damage to many valuable assets before being brought down and taken for study by The Corporation. The unfortunate GYR-58 unit that had stumbled upon the parasitic lifeform is a heavy duty industrial machine designed for all sorts of labor tasks unfit for regular human staff to handle. This particular unit was equipped with a heavy mining railgun, which though deadly in its own right, proved not nimble enough to fend of the invader. The Specimen itself is a remarkable creature. It posesses the ability to hijack the nervous systems of other beings, controlling them as puppet hosts and enhancing their physical ability in return. It is somehow also able to influence the mainframes of machinery, research is still inconclusive of how such a thing is possible. - This is the collab entry for BBCC75 between Cezium (who built the GRY-58 unit) and yours truly. (I made the alien parasite) Good luck to everyone partaking in the contest and thanks for taking a look!

BrickPharaoh Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Epic execution! While Cezium's mech is nothing to sneeze at, your parasitic "symbiote" is truly the star of the show. I'm just curious as to how you managed to take photos of them together like that. Was there some clever photo-editing involved or did you have one of you ship out his entry to the other for collective photo-taking? Excellent work as always, and thanks for the good-luck wishes on behalf of my teammate and myself (looks like we might need a lot of it ) Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."

We actually live not too far from each other, so we just got together for a beer and took pics. 1 Quote Want your own Mask of Ultimate Power?

We should be expecting more collabs from you two in the future 2 Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."

Chro Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 your styles are both very nice to look at yet markedly different which really adds to the thematic effect here 2 Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaru Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I saw these two on Flickr back to back and instantly knew it was for this contest! Very well executed and paired, both as a single entry and as an example of both of your strengths! 1 Quote Spoiler Alert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemanscarecrow Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Gotta love it when two excellent builders put their heads together and produce a pair of jaw-droppingly good-looking MOCs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The greebles on the robot are beautifully intricate, and the parasite is a really slick fusion of those Hero Factory brain bug things and the AI drone bots from the Matrix with a Morbuzakh-like hand on its tail. They seem to fit together quite well, too! 2 Quote It is not for us to decide the fate of angels. Dominus Temporis, if you're out there, hit me up through one of my contacts.

Valendale Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 These are great, especially how they fit together. I didn't realize the first picture was simply the two of them pictured together until I read the whole post and scrolled back up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
