MOC: Buzzkill

[zero1312]

He was a lumberjack robot, who was infected by an unknown virus. Later it turns out to be the ancient Maverick Virus, responsible for the devastating Maverick Wars, that ravaged the world centuries ago. How the virus got away from the moon is unknown, but HF fears the old history could be repeating itself. Buzzkill is equipped with two big diamond-bladed titanium buzzsaws, but he likes to headbutt everything first, resulting in alot of dents in his head.

Update: New pics of the final version in the start post.

Forgot to mention that this was a WIP untill now.

the updated version of the updated version looks amazing!

Thanks... This will be the final version of him.

Oh, I love this new chestpiece. It gives any figure so much extra bulk.

My, oh, my. He's looking incredible now. I love his bulky aesthetic. The Jetbug/Nitroblast head really goes well with those sphere detail pieces. The color scheme is well-organized, and he seems nicely-armored from all angles.

One thing I would change would be to give him "upper limb" bones for his lower limbs, kind of like XT4. Those seem to work better with this style of foot since the foot joint is lined up how it is, perpendicular to how it is aligned on most BIONICLE/Hero Factory foot designs.

Thanks!!!

That was actually my first intention, but only lower leg bones are available in this length.

Usig the "titan upper leg bone" would make the legs too long and using the upper leg bone with one connector hole would make them too short AND would limit the ankle movement.

Upper and lower leg bones so far exist in all the same lengths though... it looks like those are 7M, which appeared in Rocka XL in Medium Stone Grey. I guess that wouldn't match the color scheme, though. I hope they eventually come out in more colors.

Yep, light grey would disrupt the color contrast of the figure. I really hope for future sets to include this piece in black, at least.

Oh, I really like this one. The bulky feel works well, as does the solid color scheme. The big round armor parts (My favourite piece of this year!) look nice with red jetbug head.
