You can see it here: (URL) love the Black color scheme - gives the MOC (...) (21 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.build.military)

This is the masterpiece of this theme, coming in at 12-1/16th" long with the flaps open, and standing 7-1/4" tall when piloted. Ironically, while it does use one RoboRider head and one Throwbot foot, there aren't any original Bionicle pieces (...)

(...) With enough plate click hinges, I think you could pull it off, but not on a model this size. You'd need to have it be 2-3x larger in order for hinges to look right. -D (21 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Great comment! I'll keep this in mind as I work on the other models. As someone who doesn't compromise, it won't be easy, but I'll work on it. (...) Yep.

I always say, building is a series of compomises. If I set out to build something and I know I want it to have 10 cool design things and when I'm done with the project and I've managed to get 8 or 9 of those cool things in to the model, then I know (...)

Without wings, it might be able to perform a sumo squat, but that's about it. With stronger arms, it should (...) (21 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Whoa, I've said it before and I'll say it again: This thing is NUTS! What I like about it and your building style is, the way you use really wierd parts and peices. There are some design techniques that are really cool. The building experience write (...) (21 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Woohoo! Go Dave! I was wondering where Invictus went. I really loved hearing the build story though. This mecha/beast is sweet. I love the huge body and then the small t-rex arms coming out the side. It makes it look much more beastish than if it (...) (21 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Very nice! I like how you compressed a fairly complex building down to one baseplate and still managed to preserve the style of the building. I have considered building Disney rides and buildings as well, but just haven't gotten around to it. Brad (21 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.disney, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch)
