Whoa! How cool is that? Those Sea Monkeys are more clever than anyone could have imagined. Who said Bionicle was good for nothing? This model is seriously inspiring. Cheers, Allister (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.build.mecha)

Ahahahah! That's great! I love the use of the solid colored LOM canopies as claws. That's inspired. It makes me want to build something new before BricksWest. But then, I don't think that's going to happen, I'm too busy being addicted to Morrowind. (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Tell me about it:) (...) inspiring. Thanks. I was was roundaboutly inspired by the Leviathan from "Atlantis: The Lost Empire." And I finally figured out how to use the ball and socket Bionicle parts!!! Joe Meno (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Thanks! The AttackCrab is certainly the most unusual looking MOC I've done, and it started when I was playing with the quarter shells...which made the main body. The legs and tail came in much later, with more than a couple of revisions on the (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.build.mecha)

JOE! Dude you rock. Now for the conspiracy that must be investigated... if one were to peel off the tan paint on this crab... would one find it to be... TRANS NEON GREEN???? Could this be a....

(...) That is pretty cool Joe. It has a very close resemblance to the leviathan(spelling?) in atlantis my fav disney movie. Is that were you got your inspiration for it? -Semaj (URL) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.build.mecha)

Looks like I need to tune my Landmates and gear up for war. Damn Sea Monkeys! Excellent mecha, love the tail and claws. Take care, Soren (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Ay Dios Mio! Joe, I don't even know where to begin. Not only is the model cool in general, but you've managed to capture the theme excellently. I love the cockpit and use of non conventional colors. I've said it before and I'll say it again. (...) (22 years ago, 9-Feb-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Hey, Alpha Team needs YOU! The Landmates would be great mecha against the AttackCrab, if the Landmates attacked en masse! And on the land, the Landmates have an advantage-they're small and quick. Joe Meno PS. Your landmates look really cool! (22 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.build.mecha)
