Logan McOwen Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Boss RoboRider - Modern Version Built to keep my modern Dust RoboRider company, this 'bot takes cues from the original Boss RoboRider, while being very much its own entity. With working sets of treads with individual shock absorbers, guns which swivel together*, and a streamlined Tumbler-esque design, this is one of my favourite MOCs I've come up with this year. Enjoy! * Demonstration video here. Front 3/4, Guns Raised Front Side Back, 3/4 Back Back, Top, 3/4 Front, Top, 3/4 Chassis Yes, I am aware that this was photographed in my bathroom.

Petewa Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 It does look like the tumbler. 1 Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naota Takizawa Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I like that you went for a more unique direction, but I think some dark gray pieces could've been used on the tank treads or the technic pieces on the sides. If you wanted to keep the black, then you could've replaced the technic beams with orange ones or even replaced some of the pieces such as the red and silver roborider heads with ones that came from the actual set so it would bear more resemblance to the original set while keeping the unique tumbler like frame.

Millennium Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 You never fail to impress, do you? While, IMO, it is hardly recognizable as the Boss Roborider, if not for the overall shape, it's a fantastic creation. Maybe if you used orange in place of red, or more gray like LTSC above said? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mate.397 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 It's nice, though the silver really sticks out the wrong way, also no separating into smaller vehicles? :c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onuki Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Great job! I think I used to own the original, although I can't really remember. In comparison, I think you really captured the feel of a fully fleshed-out RoboRider. As any Bionicle fan familiar with Nuparu knows, orange, gray, and black aren't always the smoothest color scheme, so I like the red and black instead. Red is nice and simple and doesn't distract from the MOC like orange sometimes unfortunately does. I like the use of the RoboRider heads in red and chrome! They really help give it a RoboRider feel. And the working shock absorption looks great! The treads remind me of all the Rahi sets that used them, which is sort of a nice if unimportant tie-in between RoboRiders and its descendant Bionicle. I like the red lightsaber blades, too! They're perfect. Nice job!
