MOC: Bleu and Moonshiner

Gallery

Before the time of Von Nebula, Bleu was the most dangerous threat; a powerful space pirate commander. Controlling entire fleets of starships, Bleu and his warriors managed to conquer over a third of the galaxy. He was determined to crush Hero Factory and unite the entire galaxy under his rule, then focus on the other galaxies...

Unfortunately, Bleu was defeated at the Battle of Balakhast 5, where his entire fleet was eaten by a black hole monster (not Von Nebula's work, the Black Hole was around a trillion times more powerful than that). Bleu was the only survivor, a beaten and broken bot. Hero Factory, which admired him to some extent, took pity on him exiled him to the comfortable planet of Klex at the edge of the galaxy (even letting he in charge of it). But that was not enough for Bleu, for he promised to return to power...

100 galactic light years later, Klex was taken over by the forces of Von Nebula. Nebula, who knew of Bleu's notorious past reputation, decided to offer him a powerful army if he helped aid his cause. Bleu agreed, wanting to take revenge on Hero Factory. However, he knew that by doing this, he would become nothing higher than Nebula's subordinate. Sure, he'll help Nebula and his cause. But once Nebula achieves his goal and becomes the Galactic Emporer, Bleu swore that he would annihilate him. Thus, Bleu would come to power with even more power than before. It was the perfect plan.

Bleu is not much of a fighter, due to his short stature (he likes to wear large helmets to make himself feel taller). His body was that of an ancient Hero Factory Hero design, one of the first generations. Before it was disposed of, however, an unknown virus (rumored to have been originated from a Earth history CD-Rom)took over the body and escaped with it. Thus, Bleu was born. A charismatic, dashing, and inspirational leader, Bleu quickly won the hearts (or whatever oil-pumping device) of bots all across the galaxy. His manners and etiquette made him truly stand out from others at the time. Using his support, Bleu would build a powerful fleet that would make himself one of the most notorious villains of the time...

The Moonshiner is a vehicle that has both strength and speed, a deadly combination. Originally an incomplete prototype vehicle for Alpha Team leader Preston Stormer, it was stolen by Von Nebula before it was finished. Von Nebula (who decided to add in an extra Meteor Bazooka) gave this vehicle to Bleu as a private transport. The vehicle can levitate and fly across land and space, as well as ram through anything from a Dropship to a Starship with deadly speed and force. However, since it was never completed, the ship's speeds were never regulated to stop at a certain limit. At maximum power, the vehicle will go so fast that both it and the pilot disintegrate into dust. Great for kamikaze attacks (except you won't die as often)!

If you can't tell by now, the first part of Bleu's story was based on Napoleon Bonaparte's life. I also made Bleu himself try to look very Napoleon like. Heck, the original name for Bleu was Bonaparte, but I was afraid that some people might've found that offensive (same reason why the vehicle is named Moonshiner instead of Moonshine).

The bike was the first thing that I built for the contest, but unfortunately, the pictures turned out making it look horribly cluttered. Hopefully I shall be able to retake pictures once I get my new camera. The bike is a foot long, by the way. Some of you may argue that it looks too heroic, but then again, it was once a Hero Factory prototype (and making it more cluttered with villain chains and the like did not make the MOC look better).

Yes I spent way too much time on the story.

Wow! This should win the Vehicle Contest!

Words can't express how awesome that vehicle is.

But I'll try.

I really love the combination of system and technic, really detailed. And the figure, amazing use of Gali's mask, and Ork swords. And the torso, legs and shoulder pads!

Loved the story by the way.

Thanks. I honestly think that the pictures for the MOC turned out extremely bad though, hiding many important details. I don't know if I'll win (a lot of people will have a hard time trying to get past the clutter), but thanks for the encouragement anyway.

You're right there, I thought I could see all the details from pictures provided, but I never noticed that a mata orange Inka chest-plate was used, looks fantastic! And the two phantoka jetpacks use behind the stabilizers(?) and also, very nice construction on the stand.

Best of luck in the contest, though I doubt this vehicle would need any.

Very very nice! I can't believe nobody else has replied to this!

[Once In A Lifetime]

That is very, very cool. I enjoy how you had built "Bleu", as it was simply ingenious. I don't know if the contests over, but if it isn't, best of luck!
