Ah the old dragon slayer, my attempt at replicating the HF “titan” builds, specially Fire Lord. And what a disaster that was, but I didn’t have any of the fire villains and didn’t look up instructions. This time around, I decided to once again go the Fire Lord route but did look up how he was built to use as a baseline. So no skeleton breakdown, as it’s just a modified Fire Lord, should be easy enough to figure out.

He’s also still, mostly, using the HF titan leg design. It’s just turned sidewise as that looks so much better than the awkward wide legs of the sets. Also generally helps that he’s on the bulkier end so it doesn’t look too strange from the side.

But yeah, pretty different from his prior version. Like Decapitator, it is mostly a cleaned up version with less colors, but his upper half is very different, because he’s basically Rotor now. So what happened?

Originally, he fly using some sort of repulsor lift stuff with the shoulder add-on things on the front. Yes, those were for flying. No, I don’t remember why I did that. My best guess is that I didn’t have the parts to make proper wings or a jetpack or something else and decided to go totally different. And I was going to do that here, you can see those same pieces can be moved around on their own rather than just rest at the shoulders. But because it looks dumb, I was going to have them be face shields instead. Because dragons, fire, need a face shield.

Though it looked much better as shoulder armor and gave a more hunched look. Since I still needed a method for him to fly, and he’s now more hunched, going to the Rotor route seemed more fun. Even if a rotor-pack would probably be a terrible way to fly around and fight dragons.
