Catching up with one of my Brickswest inspirations, and grabbing onto the coat tails of a couple of new fads/interstellar species, I created three new turbocycles for my Turbocycle League.

(...) contrasts nicely with the trans-light-yellow Fleebnork. I might just hafta build one of these 'cycles once I re-sort some of my LEGO. What are the guidelines for making a Turbocycle? Nathan Wells (22 years ago, 24-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.aquazone)

(...) Guidelines for a turbocycle? Um, two wheels and a pilot :) They were a big fad last year this time when I posted my first Turbocycle. A few other .spacers built some.

(...) Right, they're more weapons than wheel guards. If they were too close to the wheels, they'd run the risk of causing damage to them instead of the bad guys.

Gotta dig the zany! As usual, all of them are splendid Adrian, although I have to express a particular fondess for the Sea Monkey Marauder. At first I thought the bubble was able to turn, brining those cones/weapons to bare. When I saw that it was (...) (22 years ago, 24-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.aquazone)

Neat! I find myself really liking the Fleebcycle the best...just the image of a bug on a cycle I find decidedly warped. The Sea Monkey cycle is really cool because of the wheels/turbines. very clever, and something that I would expect from the SMs:) (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.aquazone)
