Wow! I am of course a big fan of clone-based MOCs, but my own designs tend to be Mega Bloks-only. Your creations do a great job of mingling various brands, and MOCs with BTR elements are extremely rare. Part of that is because BTR never quite caught on, but part is due to the sort of use-specific nature of BTR elements, since at first glance they don’t lend themselves to custom creations.

I do not mean to be negative about anyone else, but I think NOT seeing the possibilities with BTR as a lack of imagination. The first moment I saw those sets and parts, my mouth dropped open as I was struck with a torrent of possibilities.

   The APC is reminiscent of the official BTR Megatron model, with good and clever modifications. The fact that you were able to use a BTR car-body in this model is great!

Yah, thanks. From 3 1/2 inch scale to 1 inch scale with the car body. I think the APC looks like Megatron because that is where almost all of its parts come from. I grabbed 6 of the megatron sets on deep discount so those parts will show up several times over.

   Overall a fine use of LEGO, BTR, and Oxford. Are there any other clone brands in the mix?

Lego, BTR, Oxford --> check this link for Megablocks and Lego.

   In my other post I asked if you had more pics to show us, but it’s clear that you do! Thanks again for sharing.

Dave!

We cloners have to stick together.

P.S. I am throwing away my “learn a word a day” calendar

P.P.S. That calendar said that eschewing was a good thing when concerned with clone bricks --> makes sense now, I bought it from Shop at Home. :)
