Hi all,

This MOC started as an attempt to make a car using the Nuhvok canopy. I realised early on that I was just surrounding the canopy with regular bricks when there were plenty of other interesting parts from the Nuhvok lying around too. So I ditched the first attempt and started again.

As I built I realised the transforming possibilities of these parts, and I’ve been thinking about building a transforming model, what with all the other great ones popping up lately. I was also inspired by Purple Dave to look at my Bionicle bin a bit more closely.

The end result came together relatively quickly for me (one evening’s building) and I’m pretty pleased with it, so I present for your perusal the Nohvok-Ka transforming car/biomecha.

Enjoy, and as usual PLMKWYT.

Allister

(...) Mmmm...transformers... I'd love it if that became our next fad :) This is quite cool. Nice to see a few more .spacers embracing the usability of more pieces. Just because it's bionicle doesn't mean it's crap! Adrian (21 years ago, 24-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) The first time I looked at this I wasn't too fond of it. My mind got wrapped around the idea of a sedan, and it really doesn't work for that, but as a dunebuggy it's a rather interesting design. The version shown in the last three images looks (...)
