[MOC] Seraph Squad

[VBBN]

I decided to take a break from my overly-part consuming gigantic MOCs and go on a smaller scale.

This is Seraph Squad, a team of Heroes who defected from Hero Factory. They aren't necessarily villains, but some of them aren't pure heroes either.

There are a few things I want everyone to keep in mind here;

-These are "feasibly" designed, meaning I wanted to keep the designs simple, something that could actually be produced as a set.

-They don't all look 'evil.' Read their bios, they were part of Hero Factory and left. They didn't get infected or overcome by shadow or something.

Dragontooth

The leader of Seraph Squad. Dragontooth commonly uses trickery and deceit to overtake his enemies. He quickly became disgusted with Hero Factory's mindset to protect the entire galaxy. He believe they should only protect their planet, and that other races can fend for themselves. He wields a blade forged from the tooth of a dragon that attacked and killed most of his former teammates.

Banshee

Banshee was once one of the top performing aerial Heroes. After her arm was badly damaged in battle, the Hero Factory engineers wanted to melt her down and use her parts to build new Heroes. She abandoned Hero Factory, but her damaged arm brings an unrelenting pain. She wields two axes that can be mounted on her back to steady herself in flight.

Spectre

Originally, Spectre was a Factory drone tasked with protecting the Hero Factory machines. It accidentally got caught in the core implant machine, and it forced a Hero core onto it's chest. The core gave it sentience, and it liked it. The drone is not as capable as a Hero, so the Factory officials wanted to remove the core from the drone, deeming it as a waste. Spectre didn't want to lose it's new sense of life, so it defected from the factory. Now it likes to call itself a him.

Spectre's tools are the standard issue drone rifle and riot shield.

Wildcat

Wildcat was an engineer for Hero Factory. He is crazed with building weapons, however the Factory felt that his weapons were too lethal to be used. He quickly left the factory and went on to crafting his own weapons. He has a wide array of tools, but his preferred ones are a seismic cannon, an electric whip, and his shoulder mounted, heat-seeking acid launcher.

Glacier

Glacier was one of the first attempts at merging elemental energy with a Hero core. As a result, Glacier channels all of his ice power through his core. He can craft weapons from ice, fire ice from his hands, and even regenerate his arms when they are destroyed due to this power. The Factory engineers felt that these experiments could be potentially catastrophic. Glacier defected from the factory, knowing that they thought he could be dangerous and would try to destroy him. His tools are crafted from ice, but his main tools are a shield and dual sides spear.

Landquake

Landquake was a mine worker for Hero Factory, who dug deep underground looking for materials needed to create new Heroes. However, Landquake is an explorer. He wishes to travel to other planets, digging new terrain and materials. His superiors at the Hero Factory denied his request, saying that he was the most efficient miner and that he needs to remain where he is. He stormed away from the Factory to travel the galaxy, just after he brought down an entire tower with one swing of his shovel.

His tools include a magma sphere launcher, used for melting, crafting, and combat, as well as his pneumatic jackshovel, which digs as well as pulverizes rock. His launcher can be mounted atop his drone counterpart that he carries on his back.

These are of course nothing spectacular, but they were fun to build and I may work on a fanfic for them, I quite enjoyed doing some of these bios (especially Spectre).

These are great! Landquake is by far my favorite of the bunch, I really like the colours and the shaping.

Wow, The hero factory is DARK in your story. melting down damaged heroes? I don't blame these guys for defecting. Mocs are very interesting too.

It depends on your point of view. A company tries to recycle its faulty products, what's wrong with it ?

The stories are interesting, I like seeing "gray" characters, especially in HF, they're so rare. MOC-wise, my favorites are Glacier and Spectre (good idea for the shield, and I love its/his head). To attach the Kakama on Landquake, you used a Metru head and this part, right ?

Replace "products" with "semi-humans" (which is more or less the case with Hero Factory, they're human in every way except for the whole robot thing) and that's what happens. They're alive, and they're not mindless drones.
