@DuneToa Thanks! Though weirdly enough, they aren’t Galidor limbs, they were only used in Alpha Team sets. I imagine that they probably were developed for Galidor originally and then edited, but I don’t believe we have confirmation as to their origin.
@Rukah Thanks!

So. you may have noticed that I added a “build date” to the column. If you’ve been paying attention to the dates, since the build portion of the project started, photos were being taken with a gap of a couple weeks to a month. There was a longer stretch near the end of 2021 due to holidays, but otherwise not massive gaps, so what happened? Why were these guys built shortly after the last batch but not photographed until nine months later?
Well. My general goal has been to have at least six figures before doing a photoshoot. Unless they’re too big or ate up too many parts, because they’re dismantled after getting photos. But for these guys, I wanted their entire group to be built for a big family photo. As you probably guess from the names, these are based on the Slizers/Throwbots. There’s a gang of baddies based on them and the Roboriders. More specifically, hybridized with the Roboriders. And that has been the design problem.
Aside from IRL stuff that came up, figuring out the direction and design has been more of a challenge. And then from July onwards, I was participating in contests for the rest of 2022 or doing other build ideas that were for contests. Though some of my skeleton dudes did double as further testing directions for these guys. But in that time, I realized a large group photo wouldn’t work. Didn’t have the space for it and I kept borrowing parts for these guys. Thus I finally bite the bullet, took their photos, and dismantled them. Don’t know when the rest of their group will be finished, but it will be eventually.
But I do have one more MOC left to go before we’ve reached the end of this stockpile. Its photos were taken before these guys, but they were built later to this works better timeline wise.
