For my first post on the boards, I thought I’d start strong and see if I can get a topic for all my MOCs going. I’m not a very good builder, so a lot of these are going to be fairly simple, but I’m proud of (most of) them and wanted to post them somewhere so I can finally dismantle them. (Apologies in advance for the photo quality.) Without further ado, we’ll begin with:
Squashed Rat Mech (???)
This is the oldest MOC I have accessible records of. All the photos have atrocious lighting, and there are a lot of them, mostly from the same angle. Here’s the clearest one:
You can kinda see why I call it the Squashed Rat Mech. It appears to be made from pieces of Aquagon, 2015 Gali, 2015 Tahu, Breakout Bulk, and Darth Vader with the cockpit of the Spider Machine slapped on front. There are other pictures, but like I said, this is the clearest. Let’s move on to some more recent stuff.
Bohrok with Pohatu’s Limbs
One day, I set out to mash up my Toa and Bohrok in various combinations to create different combo models. I don’t own Pahrak, so this is the stand-in for it, only with Pohatu’s limbs attached on the end of its own:
There really isn’t too much to say about it other than that.
Kopaka, Lewa and Gahlok Stand-In Combo
I also don’t have Gahlok, so I made a stand-in out of Kohrak and Lehvak parts. That, combined with Lewa and Kopaka, created this.
The shoulder armor is nice, and I recall the leg extensions looking pretty good in person. Other than that, it isn’t great.
Gali and Lehvak Combo
I combined Gali and Lehvak, and this thing was the result. Arms brought to you by one of the official Bohrok Kaita.
This one is…somewhat less successful. The shoulder hooks are a bit much, the arms are way too long, and the legs just look weird.
Tahu, Nuhvok and Pahrak Combo
Here we have the unholy mixture of Tahu, Nuhvok and Pahrak, as you can tell from the header:
Noodly arms and weird thighs are the order of the day with this guy. I remember said thighs being really weird to pose, since they were designed in such a way that they actually pulled the lower legs inward. I like the shield made of Tahnok shields, and the chestplate made of Bohrok teeth and a Nuhvok shield is pretty cool.
Birdman Thing
From what I remember, this was an attempt at replicating the “Fusion Bohrok” combiner model using Onua instead of Nuhvok:
His wings, again going off of fuzzy memories, were completely stiff and static, and he wields a circular saw and a shield made of Onua’s torso. His head is quite literally just Kohrak Va’s. I actually think this guy looks all right, all things considered.
I don’t want to dump too many MOCs all at once, so that’s it for now. I’ve got plenty more, though, so look forward to a good few more posts here. (Possibly even later today, if I feel like it.) Bye for now!
