The Dragonfly Unit: Created for one purpose - to eradicate all Mantis units
So my idea behind this thing was to create a similar MOC to one of my latest builds (Mantis) but a more refined sleeker version that would have been made in an attempt to stop the mantis uprising. They have been specifically designed to wield electrified swords that can slice a mantis in two, as well as having the ability of limited flight to outmanoeuvre their foes. They also have an electricity vile draped around their neck which if by chance if one is defeated, will shatter emitting a giant electrical shockwave immobilising Mantis units in the immediate vicinity. Hope you all like it
(Oh also I guess this kinda counts as a Mantis V2 topic as well)
First time I’ve ever really tried to associate any form of lore or story to whatever the heck I’m building, so yeah, this has been fun. C&C is helpful as always :^)
Really nice! Parts usage is great, especially with that Metalbeard beard on the head. Colors look really good too, and I think it is great that you have some sort of bug-MOC theme going on.
Really cool, surprised you were able to find enough non-G1-Bonkle Metru-blue pieces to make this look cohesive. I love the colour scheme as well, getting a bit of a Pacific Rim vibe.
Cheers man, and yeah like 80% of the metru blue parts are from Jays dragon set from last year. The ccbs ones just come from storm beast and 2016 kopaka
A blue and yellow bug that controls electricity… I can’t help but compare it to Vikavolt from Pokemon. Anyways, the MOC looks great from the colors to the well built bug like appearance.
This thing is so cool! I love the way the upper torso is built and the legs look stellar! The system integration is seamless and there’s no colour scheme breaks anywhere! I love the little details like the electricity vile and the wire leading to the blade. The ONLY criticism I could have is the use of the hand pieces to hold the wings, maybe just the average socket piece would be better.
