Brickeens Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 So this is a MOC of VampireBohrok, who is a very good friend of mine and a total bro. <3In my version of VB's character, VB is a monster who rebuilt himself using Bohrok parts. Hope you all enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I know you already know my feelings on this bro but it's still awesome I only wish there was some way to cover up those 1-stud-long axle pieces sticking out of those Nuhvok shields on the upper legs.

Taipu1 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 It's awesome how you've maintained the look of a bohrok by using the various bohrok pieces, as size and shape wise it couldn't be more different. I particularly like the geared pieces used in the legs. I'm not a big fan of the teeth though, I can tell they're teeth, that's unmistakable, but at the same time I can't get by the fact they're very obviously minifig hands. Perhaps if there were something hidign the points where they were attached? The hands and feet are very cool, where do the claw pieces come from?

Obsessionist Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 The head is awsome! I love the lanky yet mechanical look you have going. The bit of dark grey at the waist annoys me, though. Can you replace it with light grey or black? Great character! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evex_Wolfwing Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Wish I was this good at MOCing. I love how the joints are constructed, and the general mechanical vibe it has.

The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you. Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared.

Senrab Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 OMG THIS IS SO COOL It's like a werewolf and a Bohrok, two very cool things, combined together! I love the head especially. The arms look quite fragile, but this is pretty close to perfect. Nice MoC! Quote 3DS FC: 0216 - 1922 - 2231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fsnorglepuff Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Really great, although the Bohrok limb would be better as light grey, not dark grey. Otherwise, awesome work! Quote Toa Gali Nuva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorek Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Decidedly one of your better creations; the teeth are absolutely inspired, and the gear pieces don't come off as ugly, surprisingly, it flows with the overall appearance, and the lanky body (while a bit jumbled in terms of construction) works pretty well. The feet and hands are probably the weaker points; they don't look very stable, and they look a bit haphazardly thrown on.

Paleo Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 This guy is amazing. (I watched your entire process of WIP to MOC on brickshelf)Kinda looks like it could be a Bohrok that was mutated or expanded out of its original form.10/10 (love the teeth) Quote Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeko Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I like. :)Although personally I think I would've liked the Nuvohk shield on his knee, rather than thigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytrone Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 COOLSAUCE!! This is another amazing Moc from you!The design flows well, and the aesthetics you captured with the head and bohrok parts look very nicely-done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehlekdude Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 This is actually really creepy, in a positive way of course. The head is magnificent and the legs look all mechanical, which is great. This is 10/10, definately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringoster Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Amazing work! Looks awfully weak (structurally), though.... Using the round slide parts is genius! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plague Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I like the legs, arms, and body especially, but the hips and the head could use some work. The Bohrok head-shield makes it sort of look like he has a long nose, and his hips are too wide. Just my opinion. I love how you made his limbs look werewolf-ish, and the teeth are AWESOME.

Daiker Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) Another marvel by Brickeens. This is an MOC I quite like. I actually had the idea of making an MOC with mostly '01-'03 parts, but never got around to it :Р So this has a very unique structure to it. The curved spine adds a nice effect, and the teeth are very nicely executed. It appears you are pretty fond of the idea of those arms. It seems they're used sort of like mata arms for you...? The legs are very nice and thought out and the claws on both the feet and hands are very nice touches. The back is okay, could use a few touch ups, but then again, backs aren't really anyones strong suit So very nice one Bricks, stay bricky http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png Edited October 18, 2011 by Daiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Epic. The head and torso are my favorite parts. Quote Does anyone want to play the Master Chief Collection with me?

Maganar Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 As other people have claimed, I also saw this on Brickshelf first. One of the coolest things I noticed about this MOC was the usage of the interior pieces of a Bohrok as limbs. The neutral gray that was never meant to be seen on the outside of a set gave it a lifeless appearance and emphasized the fact that it was vampiric. As for its vicious mouth, that's probably the most terrifying head I have seen on any MOC ever. Definintely a very impressive creation. Quote Review Topic I AM OFFICIALLY BACK!

Elrond of Rivendell Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 This MOC is epic! I like the way that the legs are constructed.

Zaxvo Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Wow. I am still shocked; this is so great there are many bits that I didn't notice at first, that's how absorbed I was with the overall look. I love the legs, they look really great and I can't...quite...figure out how they stay together. That's great engineering. Oh, and the use of minifig hands for teeth is genius. I love it. It totally looks like it was self assembled from random parts lying around, but at the same time, some part of me tells me that, logically speaking, it wouldn't really be symmetrical if it was thrown together from random bohrok parts. Meh, whatever. This works, and not only does it work, but it works well. If there was one thing I'd change, it's that grey bohrok limb. I'd make it solid black or lighter grey; it's the only piece of that color on the entire thing. Quote . {Z} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I all sorts of dig this MOC. Tons of character to it, really enjoy the pistons on the arms and the head, as well as the side profile, the hands and the feet. Do not care for the bare lightsaber in the mid-torso, it's just begging to be covered up. I like how the tubes draw in at the center to create a more rounded and evenly distributed shape in the torso. Really great stuff in my opinion, definitely conveys that it is a monster that's rebuilt part of itself with robot parts.

The Rockin' Makal Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 This is some very nice work. I really like the head's construction, original while maintaining the Bohrok appearance. The design of thee feet is simple but really nice. How stable are the arms and legs? The system parts look a bit fragile, but it's still a good design. Overall, a great MOC!

Pridak for Prez Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Love the hunched back and the claws you have on him. Though the legs and limbs may be a weak point, I like the thin, sickly look of them on him. It gives more to the vampire-look. All you need is a Dracula cape and you are good! Great MoC!

Jean Valjean Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Man, I love Bohrok MOCs. This one is pretty innovative around the waist. I'm particularly absorbed with how you use a consistence design of old technic pieces and themes. This reminds me of something I'd see from the old iconic MNOG game. Like the way you uuse those old Slizer pieces. And the various Bohrok body pars, especially their underbelly parts, which are hard to MOC with and help top off the MNOG-esque presence even more. His back also fascinates me and really gives him character, so he really looks cool from all angles. Finally, I didn't notice the legs at first, but once I finally did, the knees amazed me. I have never, ever seen a design like that before. Wonderful job. You can never have too much nostalgia. Well, yes you can, if it drives you insane.

GeluNumber1 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Man those are great teeth! The claws are pretty good, too. I like how you put gears in the legs. Quote Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown. Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy..... I got the first post on a page for the first time. Who knows; it may happen again. What the... It did happen again... and again... YEAH! I'M ENCOUNTERING PROTODERMIS!

Brickeens Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 @Taipu1: Yeah, the teeth bother me, too. I got the claws from Witch Doctor, a Hero Factory set. @Senrab: The arms are actually very sturdy, apart from the fingers. @Dorek: Not sure what you mean when you say they don't look stable? @Ringoster: The knees are a bit weak, and the fingers obviously aren't strong, but everywhere else is fine. @Plague: I think the hips are one of the best parts of the MOC. They are kind of wide, but I like them that way.Dunno how the headplate makes him look like he has a long nose, seeing as I don't think he has a nose. @Daiker: Not sure what you're saying about the arms.Where does the back need touch ups? @Primus: Oh hey, thanks a bunch.The lightsaber bothers me, too. @Makal: The knees are a bit weak, but the arms are strong. @Everyone else: Thank you all very much for the replies.

Daiker Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 @Daiker: Not sure what you're saying about the arms.Where does the back need touch ups?On the arms, I see it as some kind of way of giving the mata feel but with a more usable style (e.g. articulation)On the back, I would say on the lower back where the legs connect. It's generally a bit blocky. Also the bar is blargh but I can't see a way to fix it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickeens Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Oh yeah, it is a bit boxy. I'm actually okay with the bar at the pelvis, though. Or are you referring to the one in the spine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Darok~ Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I love it! Ideas like this that make the BBC forum really really cool. I love the use of bohrok parts throughout; It can be hard to MOC with the bohrok parts. He seems a little difficult to re-manuever? That's fine though, because of the fragile build. I was hoping it wasn't going to be just a Nuvohk with big teeth, and that's not what i see here! Awesome, really really cool man! - Darok Quote "You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there.

Klak Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 The gear parts at first seem to be a flaw, but then you realize its Fridge Brilliance. You've got this slight steampunk-mechanical feel to it. The eyes, head, and teeth are very well done, and enhance the vampirism and...Bohrok-ism. My only complaint involves the hands and feet. They seem a bit too simple. Still, it's an amazing PMOC.The MOC looks like a bro!
