Hello all! I would like to present to you with hopefully what will be the first in a series of original theme Sci-Fi MOC's from me. You might have already seen some of my constraction "CarBorgs" over in the Action Figures forum, but this is my first System scale MOC devoted to the vehicles of this original alternate universe, starting with the ground tank named in the title. But first of all, I should explain myself with a backstory: The CarBorgs are a kingdom of intelligent biomechanical cyborgs whose faces resemble that of the front ends of various human creations commonly known as cars, and can take almost any form imaginable, though they most typically take humanoid forms. These creatures are grouped according to the make of car their faces derive from. They originate from the planet Carerth, which at first appears superficially similar to Earth, except where all the life forms are these biomechanical creatures. One of the most powerful races on Carerth are the Veyronians (part of the rare Ettoréan super-race (those with faces based on Bugattis), often nicknamed "BugBorgs"), whose mix of skilled artisan craftsmen and powerful warriors means they produce some of the most powerful futuristic war machines, such as the Veyronian Rumbler Tank, dubbed "the world's fastest assault tank". The Rumbler is among the Veyronian leader's favourite vehicles to use. That should explain enough, now to present the MOC: LEGO MOC - Veyronian Rumbler Tank 1 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr The Rumbler is supposed to be an imposing and rather unusual looking vehicle, the front design is meant to be reminiscent of a Bugatti Veyron with facial features (think Chima, but with cars...). The treads sticking out design was inspired by the Ninjago set 9449 Ultra Sonic Raider. This makes the model over 40 studs wide. LEGO MOC - Veyronian Rumbler Tank 2 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr The front-on view shows you just how it would look if you were directly facing it. It seems to have a lot of character for a non-living vehicle. Note that all it's weapons face forward, essential for a frontal assault vehicle. LEGO MOC - Veyronian Rumbler Tank 3 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr A side view. It has a surprisingly sleek profile for a tank... the silver blades rotate when the MOC is rolled along the ground. The tank tread covers are a bit gappy here, but maybe that was a weight saving feature? LEGO MOC - Veyronian Rumbler Tank 4 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr Not a lot going on at the back, but this is where Veyronian troops stored in the main body can enter and exit. For some reason, they paint all their opening hatches and doors white... LEGO MOC - Veyronian Rumbler Tank 5 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr A view of the top. Not much to say here really. LEGO MOC - Veyronian Rumbler Tank 6 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr Here's the troop door again. When the doors open, a ramp flips down to aid the troop's exit (the figure is one of my customs). LEGO MOC - Veyronian Rumbler Tank 7 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr The top can be removed to access the commander's deck. Here the Veyronian leader and his assistants man the dual plasma guns and command the pilots in the bubble canopied cockpits below. LEGO MOC - Veyronian Rumbler Tank 8 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr Just what you can see in the commander's deck when the roof is on. LEGO MOC - Veyronian Rumbler Tank 9 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr The commander's deck can also be removed to reveal the troop bay. This can fit 10 minifigures and it also has a weapons rack (unfortunately it's out of view in this picture, it's on the side closest to the pilot cockpits. Don't ask why they've got Alien Conquest aliens to pilot the vehicle...) That's all for now. Hopefully the whole concept didn't sound too strange to you, and hope you enjoyed it! -
LEGO CarBorgs - Vladimir Veyron 4 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr Hello there, may I introduce you to my latest Action Figure MOC, who is a self-made character which I have taken a particular liking to, named Vladimir Veyron. You might barely recognise him as my usual forum avatar. As with many of my MOC's, he comes with a backstory: The CarBorgs are a kingdom of intelligent biomechanical cyborgs whose faces resemble that of the front ends of various human creations commonly known as cars, and can take almost any form imaginable, though they most typically take humanoid forms. These creatures are grouped according to the make of car their faces derive from. Among the most noble, ancient and prestigious of all the CarBorg "makes" are the Ettoréans (those with faces based on Bugattis), often nicknamed "BugBorgs". Within this grouping includes the enormously powerful "Veyronians", a very small race of noble artisans and empire-conquering warriors. The Veyronian race is led by Vladimir Veyron, a stout one-eyed artisan-turned-warrior with enormous chest muscles and heavy battle scarring, and is proficient with all manner of weapons from axes to enormous gatling guns. LEGO CarBorgs - Vladimir Veyron 1 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr LEGO CarBorgs - Vladimir Veyron 2 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr LEGO CarBorgs - Vladimir Veyron 3 by TheOneVeyronian, on Flickr I've had several versions of this figure, though this my first version that is almost entirely purist (bar the decal I used for his mouth), all previous versions had a custom moulded head and armour. Well, that's it for now, I hope you liked it
