The Bonktrons are a hedonistic cult devoted to nothing but the peasures of
the flesh. They are fairly recent arrivals to our quadrant of the galaxy,
having spent many years in exile. They were originally part of the Classic
Space regime, but found their philosophies too prudish and departed the more
populated regions of space to found their own colony. Now, for reasons known
only to themselves, they are back. Lock up your daughters (1)
The first sighting of their return was this ship: a deep penetration recon
ship apparently dubbed by its owner the
Throbtastic
Jismatron X3.
Note the twin Testiculon thrusters, and the short black sensor arrays on the
wings. If theres naughty fun to be had, this ship can find it.
The pilots name is Carlos, and he wants to make love to you.

Absolutely Brilliant Work Al! I found it hilarious. Your whole new theme has
captivated the hearts and minds of the space (SPACE!) community! To subtantiate
this claim, I decided to build a Bonktron© ship of my own. Bare in mind that my
skills in the space (SPACE!) genre are limited to my building a Galaxy Explorer
when they were initially released, and thats about it.
So with that, I give you:
The Millenium Phallus
The Millenium Phallus, with its advanced patented Jismatron©AM Deep Space Probe,
is able to scan complete galaxies for enemies, and its main source of power -
Sugar-walled Assteroids. The deep space probe is raised and lowered into
offensive position via two pneumatic cylinders, and includes use of the fiber
optics elements and a motor to simulate the probe scanning the lining of
sugar-walled assteroids for valuable regenerative energies.
Here we see the Millenium Phallus in full offensive mode:

It was good to let off a little juvinile steam, and I hope that my own
contribution to the Bonktron© Theme will be up to par with other models in this
genre.

Wonderful landing gear. Looks like ducks feet. Groovilacious.

Somebody needs to beat you senseless with your own MOC.

Well, Derek, Im certainly flattered that youve chosen to burst onto the .space
scene with a model inspired by my silly little theme. Mightve been more
appropriate to start a new thread, but what the hey.
Im also impressed at the speed with which this was built, photographed and
posted a mere eight hours or so after mine.(1)
As for the ship itself, well it certainly lives up to its name :)
I admire your determinedly studs up construction style - a courageous move in
these SNOT dominated times, and the lions heads, presumably signifying virility
or something, are a nice touch.
The technical features such as the fbre optics and pneumatics also make my
little worm gear thing seem flacid and unimpressive in comparison.
However, and I appreciate youre accustomed to a more sculptural style, I still
think it needs a bit of work. The wings are, I feel, a bit extraneous, or at
least too long. The landing gear, particularly the front one, needs some serious
spacifying, and the cockpits, from what I can see, could use a bit more
detailing, or at least pilots. Cover some studs, an extra detailing colour
wouldnt go astray (note how i used grey and black on mine for reference), and a
bit of greebling, and youre away. (btw greebling is still one of the things I
struggle with most - its tricky to make it look convincingly technological and
not just a random arrangement of parts. Studying exposed machinery helps get an
eye for it I find)
But, that said, for a .space debut, its a promising start. You certainly did a
better job of building a spaceship than Id ever do building a Tower of Terror
or something.
Welcome to .space, and remember: develope.

(1) alright, before the conspiracy theorists start getting excited, Ive had
mine built for a couple of weeks now, and I did show it to a few friends,
including Derek, for feedback before showing it to the community at large. The
idea of the Bonktron(2) theme seemed to strike a cord with them, so dont be
surprised if we see a few more ship in the theme. I myself have a microscale
capship in progress, so stay tuned.
(2) and, credit where its due, it was Janey Red Brick that first coined that
name. I was originally going to create the Sillytrons, which were in turn
inspired by Michael Dallastons Nicetrons. I still might. Bonktrons seemed to be
a richer field for humour though, and the rest, as they say, is history.
