My Rock Raiders MOCs

[TommyProductionsInc]

I've made a PLETHORA of Lego Rock Raiders MOCs since I grew up playing the game obsessively (and never being able to beat it), and now I finally have a place to share it:

First we have two large variants of official small vehicle sets. Many people have tried their hand at these, so I decided to have a go at them myself: The Large Digger and Large Transport Truck:

 

 

 

Next we have combiner models I actually managed to build IN REAL LIFE using the Rock Raiders sets I own. First is the Cavern Crusher, a combiner of the Loader Dozer, Granite Grinder, Chrome Crusher, and Tunnel Transport sets (Basically all the large vehicles released as sets)

Highlighted in red bricks are the mechanism for the bulldozer scoop and the steering mechanism. The bulldozer lever is the same as the Loader Dozer set, and the car steering mechanism (my favorite part of this creation) is built out of the walking mechanism of the Granite Grinder, with the level being shifter to the left or right to turn the front wheels.

It also has a locking mechanism that can set the rear cargo holder sitting up or lying down. This was also highlighted in red, and not the colors of the actual combiner:

 

It's driver-seat is also a detachable helicopter, beneath which reveals the big custom engine I built it with. This engine obscures the bulldozing and steering mechanism. I haven't made any renders of those mechanisms alone yet, but I can if ya'll want.

Lastly, here's this thing's sheer size compared to the sets it was built out of:

And last but not least, combining ALL my Rock Raiders sets (or at least most of them), I created THIS monolith:

By combining the large vehicles, small vehicles, and HQ playset all into one, I created this monster.

 

The second floor is detachable, revealing the giant energy crystal fusion engine I built for this thing. (I added smoke-stacks since it looked cool.)

I'm totally invested in the idea of sharing instructions of all these on Rebrickable, but I have a question first: Is it legally permissible I could sell these instructions (since it would take a LOT of work) or would that violate copyright laws in some way? Rebrickable seems chill with stuff like that, but I just wanted to double-check. If there's still enough demand for it, I'll post free instructions anyway during my free time.

You don't see Rock Raiders MOC's that often, and you did a fantastic job with these @TommyProductionsInc!

Very nice work. I'm too rather obsessed with Rock Raiders so it's always a treat when some new MOC:s shows up! I really like the large transport truck, I do however love the "monolith"! That looks just as awesome as it does crazy.
