  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Thanks! Your initial suggestion was right on the money--I like the way the finished product looks with the interrupted/irregular top surface. More interesting to the eye. (...) You're witnessing my very first babysteps into animation, thanks (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Yeah, I really like this MOC. The details helped, I think. I hadn't noticed the cones on the back of the legs previously, and that's a nice detail. How are you generating your flash file, Dave! Multiple renders out of POV, manipulated in Flash (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Still working the bugs out, and I'm afraid that this page won't load any more quickly: (URL) page simply presents three views of a slightly modified b-tron03. The renderings are lower resolution than the previous ones, due to time constraints (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) I got half of them this morning, the other half did not display. I have past experience with freewebs when the same problem came up. Presenting the images via HTML seemed to eliminate the trouble. None of the links from the original post are (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited

  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Nice. Kind of makes me wish Mega Bloks would do a space theme while TLC is on its Star Wars hiatus. You have illustrated that they could do it very well with thier part selection. :-) -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Strangely, #3 was something of a rough draft to play with a different leg articulation and toe design, though I'm pleased with its overall appearance. I like #5 in general, but those Blok-Bots faceplates are a pain to render, so I went with (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
I particularly like 3 and 4, 5 seems a little unfinished somehow because of the semi-open cockpit space. I'd like to see the other side of 3 and I think 5 would be fairly easy to improve. Are you missing a CAD version of a certain trans-yellow (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Oops! Let's try this again: (URL) may take a minute or two to load the six images. Dave! (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
(...) Doh! Oh well--that'll give me something to work on during lunch. Stay tuned! Dave! (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
 
  Re: Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
Dave! I think you need to place these images within the context of some basic html because freewebs bombs direct links to images. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>davesbitchinc...oc</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <IMG SRC="davesbitchinclonemoc.jpg" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=400 (...)

  Apocryphal Blacktron revisited
 
The first two have been seen before, but the rest, are knew AFAIK: (URL) Brief write-ups for each model will follow before long. Feedback is welcome, of course! Dave! FUT OT.clones (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: New cyborg Blok-bots at K B Toys.
 
(...) Not if you got multiple copies of the set. Narf. :-) -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: New cyborg Blok-bots at K B Toys.
 
(...) The problem, at this point, is that I think we only have one plate in this style (though maybe the set comes with two--I can't remember). That would be a small castle and a really small volcano! Dave! (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: New cyborg Blok-bots at K B Toys.
 
(...) Cool. That would be very useful for making uh... "hot" places. (Like Princess Pheona's Castle from 'Shrek') -Mike Petrucelli (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: New cyborg Blok-bots at K B Toys.
 
(...) I think that's the case. IIRC (it's been a couple of weeks) the plate itself is stone-dark-gray, and the painted water/stream/creek of the original Dragons baseplates is replaced by a red-orange lava flow. But I think that they otherwise (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: New cyborg Blok-bots at K B Toys.
 
(...) Not at either of my 2 local Kohl's. I am looking for that set for myself. I am hoping its land peices are still generic like the first round of sets, but with a "volcano" color scheme. (...) Well obviously. :-) Of course you usually find the (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  Re: New cyborg Blok-bots at K B Toys.
 
(...) Track that kid down and tell him to get to Kohl's! Strangely, they've had the Fire Mountain set for about two months (though at 120% of MSRP!) I've had a few similar experiences overhearing kids opting for Dragons sets (or MB sets in general) (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
 
  New cyborg Blok-bots at K B Toys.
 
Well I didn't get any but the 4 new Mega Bloks cyborg Blok-bots are at K B toys. 14.99 USD each. They look kinda "juniorized" but it is hard to tell considering all larger pictures were art rather than photos. Doesn't look like any figs either as (...)

  Re: TENTE in the USA
 
I only clicked on a couple of their ships, but the piece count seems a bit low and suggests that most pieces are quite large. I clicked on one of the military ships and noted the one-piece helicopter and was immediately turned off, and all the (...) (21 years ago, 27-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
