marvelBoy123 Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) *Your entry has earned 9 XP (x2 for limited challenge)* D-3PX memory bank recovery: Technicals: D-3PX - Human-Cyborg extermination Specification - 3PX model with 3PO armour casing Built in weapons - classified Rebooting... Mission..Unassigned..Revert to independent functioning..Must Kill 3PO units Proximity scan complete: Hostile detected in vicinity..Arcade here on Affa..Busy location with many citizens..Target model T-3PO.. Plan - hostage taking and extermination. Narration: The swoop arcade on Affa is popular with factory workers and business owners alike. Known for its swoop riding games which give users the thrill of riding a swoop for less cost and danger, it is usually a peaceful place. Many customers queue up to convert their credits whilst others try out the most popular machines - 'Swoop Rider X300' and 'Mando Racer 263' A Rodian who is a regular at the establishment once again tries and fails to complete 'Catina Quick Draw' a game he is rumoured to have spent thousands of credits on without a single victory. The modified 3PX unit stands in the middle of the arcade evaluating the scene. Suddenly he springs towards T-3PO and keeping one gun on the target and one on the crowd proceeds to force his victim out the door... Spoiler Not my finest build but I have little time right now with back to school etc. Pretty happy with the swoops and the overall idea as well as the minifigures (especially D-3PX and the Moogan [green alien on the left]). This will be the first in a series exploring the misadventures of D-3PX a rogue assassin 3PX unit who has a vendetta against 3POs (for being the better selling model of course!)

Ross Fisher Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 I love the dinky Balutar swoop. It's a great take on the concept. Kudos! Quote
RocketBoy Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Love the mini-bikes and the whole concept. Poor, dumb Rodian. Quote
n1majneb Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Using the adventurers pith helmet as a nose great is genius. As an adventurers fan I’m biased looking forward to seeing where 3PX takes us next Quote
Denal31 Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 This is a fun and creative concept. Nice job! Quote
Simulterious Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Nice! Love creative builds like this! Quote
Darth Bjorn Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 This take on swoop bikes is really great! You should also share your inspiration for this... Makes it even better! ;) Quote

Thanks, definitely influenced by rewatching the early clone wars - so much inspiration can be taken from the mandalore episodes.

The 3PX narrative is going to be pretty crazy but hopefully a bit different! Quote
MKJoshA Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 Moogan is perfect! Looks just like the CW aliens. Your arcade is such a unique take on this challenge. Well done! Quote

Your arcade is such a unique take on this challenge. Well done! Thanks, I was watching that clone wars episode recently and just knew that those parts would work really well. I enjoy trying to do something a bit different in challenges etc sometimes some really usual ideas end up working pretty well! Quote
Tariq j Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 Very good work! I like the mini speeders and the arcade games - very cool concept. Quote
dvogon Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 Your arcade bikes are just a great idea. Very creative build. Quote
