Another re-purposed build on my part; this one being the Visorak Battle Ram from G1. Now, I should preface this by emphasizing the concept part; this would ideally be part of a slightly larger set during the Civil War arc, with appropriate figures, and Rahi to pull it.
I have done concepts for Mangaian, Motaran, and Tiroan as well, depending on whether or not such a device would suit them better.
The rubber band that fits on the top catapult (which hurls chunks of ice) isn’t there, but it is a function, as is the movable ice-tipped ram (I take credit only for the ice motif; the functions are all part of the original model, obviously). It also has skis along the base for fast transport within Ihu, while the legs can be used bot for locomotion and anchorage.
Aside from the obvious; the Visorak Battle Ram, this is also quite inspired by Grond from The Lord of the Rings, and hence I think that it would be pulled by a pair of Rahi. The reason that I haven’t included any is that for Ihu, I would assume that based on the current Rahi, it would be pulled by something like a Khorei (unless a Kane-Ra or a Mahi would also live in Ihu), and I’m hesitant to introduce another Rahi species out of my irrational sensibilities regarding how many large species can survive on an island this size.
EDIT: @Kardax’s concept, which packs in the functions while also (if I’ve got this right) being a more compact set overall, in addition to two Koruhi/Kavinika. He’s also got far better skids and armour, and clearly more skills with those chains (I love those icy chains), in addition to a “snowed on” motif up the top (seriously, again, why didn’t I think of that?)
(Thank goodness that worked, I wasn’t sure how to add other people’s images.)
So, yeah. Food for thought.
