Squishyfrog Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) ^links to gallery(when public)^Over the past couple of days I've been in a MOCing mood, and that's a semi-rare occasion for me. So I got out my Bionicle parts and started to build.Ever since I got my Mars Mission wheels back from my sister, I've been wanting to make some sort of car. I grabbed a wheel and somehow stumbled upon a Malum claw. I placed the claw on top of the wheel and suddenly, I was instantly reminded of monster trucks and cars that have monsters sculpted around them. I got to work.My original idea for this was to be bigger, but as time progressed I had to make it smaller or the wheels would be very out of proportion. But I'm fairly satisfied with the end result; it's fun to roll around on the carpet or make roaring sounds while pretending to be at a monster truck rally or something.Oh, except it's really, really cluttered.AngleSideBackMouth function 1Mouth function 2Cockpit detailCockpit function 1Cockpit function 2rawrThe brave Exosuit takes The Beast on!-And stabs it right where it hurts!Ouch! The Beast crushes that Exosuit!...And they drive away togetherNow, the man who can have his way with giant spiders and dragons! Can he tame this beast?...Apparently not...Underside 1Underside 2ComparisonSo, yeah. It'd be appreciated for you to look at all of the(terrible quality) photos, so that you get the best idea of what it looks like and form a better opinion based on that. Comments are always very much appreciated, but not expected. Edited March 12, 2012 by Count Bleck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleo Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Oh do I love this.However, it has a few flaws. For one, it's not that streamlined, and two, the front wheels look separated from the rest of the model. The only other flaw I can see is simply with general design, as I don't like putting limbs on cars . This is purely my opinion, but I would have preferred that the legs were simply decorations that looked like they gripped the wheels.But weigh this against all the other amazingness of this creation, like the mouth and the cockpit, and you have a brilliantly designed monster of a truck (if I can call it that).

Pridak for Prez Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Looks like my dream car! I always wished someone would make a car like this, with some monster crouching on the wheels. As you said, the car is kinda of cluttered in some spots, but it works to give it an armored look to it. It took me a couple of looks to decipher what it was, but once I saw it, it was beautifal. A great MOC, I especially like the biting mouth. It is truly a monster truck. Quote "Wait, a hundred ships to one starfighter? It'll be a slaughter! "That's the spirit!" No!

Zorglorfian Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I like this a lot! The front wheels look kind of separated, but the rest of the car looks great! It's like a car from a nightmare. Makes me want to go back in time and get Malum! Great job! Quote Credit to Moist! from the Spectral Avohkii Enterprises for the super sig! ^The Chronicles of Chandu: ElementElites, Ivu, Equinox.

christo1096 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Good job!I love the shape of the car. the chasis looks a bit weak, it needs some work. Overall, I like it, malum claws and armor work well Quote Flickr l BShelf l Latest MOC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
