BBBBalta Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 My 500 post special, the Alpha Light-Armored Reconnaissance Mech. I wanted to do something different from what I usually do, and this was the result.----------FrontSideBackTorso DetailPose 1Pose 2-----Thoughts?

PooZy Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Noticed this had 0 replies, that's not fair :{ so I am making one nowWell first of all I went to your brickshelf and looked at your other mocs, you were telling the truth about this one being different. It's got a completely different build philosophy, I imagine that in itself was quite challenging. The design looks quite apt for a recon drone, it's thin and spindly, much more like a creepy eavesdropper than a fighter. That brings me to the first thing I don't get about this MOC, why is one of its arms a gun? I can understand the need for recon to have a self defence weapon, but I imagine that any such weapon would be small like a knife. If one of its arms is a gun then how is it going to navigate freely around terrain? The other thing I don't like is the feet. They seem a bit heavy for a robot designed to sneak, try replacing them with some smaller feet.Apart from those two small problems this model is good. The head especially is a stroke of genius, not just the actual design but the way it is jutting out from the torso. Really gives it some character. There's also a lot of custom going on which is a must-have considering this is a light-weight moc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fsnorglepuff Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Wow, it's like an alarm clock exploded and took bipedal form. In a very, very good way. Excellent head, excellent, arms, excellent torso and waist. This reminds me of the old days of Bionicle, with the Bohrok Va ... anywhoo, I am especially pleased that all orange is trans-neon orange. You managed to layer it properly too, which is a feat itself considering the lack of variety at hand. The legs ... initially, awesome. Yet upon closer inspection, they are rather unfit. I suggest a different lower leg piece. Pre-bent pieces have never worked for me before, especially as limbs and especially as a limb segment. Overall, superb work.
