when the new thread comin out

probably in a couple of weeks I need to finish working out how the figure will be made.

M-Bot and A-Bot was tied, so Imma be the tire breaker and choose A-Bot because he will definitely be a challenge. Ill post blueprints and show the progress of how I am figuring out the equalizer and transforming parts.

here's the last official pic of this thread, me holding the chamber figure for size reference.

It looks incredible! There is something about the tangibility of art that makes it feel more real and alive...compared to drawing on the computer or something.

This project seems to have definitely been worth it, and it's a worthy addition to the mass of toys and objects already on your desk. Ho much does he weigh? It's bigger than I thought he would turn out.

18 bucks for the clay
15 bucks for the pistons
10 bucks for the used unicron hands
30 bucks for one bionicle kit
10 bucks for various screws and springs.

Im sure im missing things here and there so Ill round it out to about 100 bucks

yes, minus the heels which used to pivot, but were glued solid to counter his weight while standing.

That looks a lot better than any store-bought action figure I have ever seen. I have one question though: did you ever make a flash featuring Mindchamber? I checked your website, but I could not tell if you had or if you were working on one.

Now you can finally just sell the damn thing, MC! NG nerds would pay thousands for a one of kind piece of original MindChamber art.

It's so... technology-age.

I've been neglecting to check up on this thread and so I never knew you finished. It looks really great. I used to do clay sculpting quite a lot back when I was into stop motion, but I haven't even picked up the sculpey in years. I ought to try it again some time.

A-bot would be amazing. What you SHOULD do is work it out so he works like a combination of the NGAP Radio and the A-bot from the Audio portal. you could work it out so he plays music from the AP and have some bigass speakers hooked up to him. Maybe make a little Darnell to stand next to him. THIS COULD BE REALLY AWESOME
