Sir Brickalot Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) After the beasts destroyed his Freeze Machine, Stormer was left mech-less. So, he collected scraps of metal on the battlefield, and created the Scout Machine, designed to battle Jumper Beasts. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in armour and strength. Stormer equipped it with a bladed staff, powerful spinning laser, orange floodlights and smaller, secondary cannon underneath the torso. It is a tight fit for Stormer, however he is well protected once the armour's up. It is just as armoured from the back. This is where the power source to the laser is kept. Now it's time to beat those beasts! Thanks for reading! C&C appreciated. Edited February 17, 2014 by Sir Brickalot Quote
xxlrocka Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Awww, should've gotten Stormer Freeze Machine earlier cuz' now you've got a MOC with the same name as a MOC I'm in the process of making. But, uh, hope the MOC is good! Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks! Will be up soon. Once my computer decides it wants to work... Quote
DraikNova Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Yeah, I have that problem every time I try to upload stuff to MOCPages, which is why the 60 or so MOCs I have aren't uploaded aren't there yet. The Scout Machine sounds like an interesting concept; does it use a bipedal frame? Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 ^ Yeah, it does. Sorry for the wait folks! Quote
Zenerius Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Nice small mech! The only thing that I would change is the leg armoring. It would probably look better in transparent azure than opaque blue, to match with the transparent bones and laser. Quote
bacem Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 nice one! small ,but packed indeed! i'm interesting on how did you attach stormer there. is it using some connection point to attach, or just depending on the tightness? Quote
DraikNova Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Great little mech-MOC. I love how compact and bulky it looks, even though that doesn't really fit with the idea of a scout, and the sword is a bit akward (maybe you should try removing the minifig spear?). Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks all! Stormer's attached by a good old fashioned technic pin Oh, and I don't have any trans azure, but if I did, I would happily swap it. Thanks again Quote
Pate-keetongu Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Definitely better than the set mechs, I love the bulky feel there. Quote
xxlrocka Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 It seems awesomer than I expected, which is great! I love the bulky feel to it, which is exactly what a mech should have. However, I must be the one to say that it's so bulky, it seems as if the armour pieces clank together quite a bit, which worries me somehow. So, do they actually clank together (causing less articulation, which, IMO, is bad?) Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks everyone! To answer your question xxlrocka, no, the armour doesn't clang about, however since the limbs are much smaller than the set mechs, their range of motion is limited. You can pull off some great poses though! Thanks again! Quote
Godtshep Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Nice! Makes me want to buy one of the new HF sets! Quote
Anexcuse Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 This is such a good MOC in my opinion, the bulkiness and colour fit in perfectly with each other. :D Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 Awww, you're making me blush. Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 A question for you all- do you think I should change the laser cannon? I've been staring at it for a while and I'm not sure if I should change it. Quote
bacem Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 A question for you all- do you think I should change the laser cannon? I've been staring at it for a while and I'm not sure if I should change it. the one on the arm? yes, a little bit. probably replace that lightsaber piece with transparent 1x1 dish? Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 Oh! Good idea. Never thought of that. Quote
