About this creation

Well here it is.

Here is my entry for the Bio Cup. I had the hardest time with this moc. I had around 4 prototypes one of which was good but this is by far the best. It looks best in vehicle mode and I'm not happy with the transformation but it works. I think my favourite part about this has to be the wings. They're basic but still really cool. Anyway onto the moc!

Well heres the prop. I like the use of the two silver Kopaka blades.

The tiny little gun on the top.

The wings that I like so much.

The tail. I don't mind this as much as the rest although it's a little oversized.

The very end of the tail.

The side panel.

Epic shot of the plane flying.

A side shot.

Front.

Back

Top. I don't like how the head sits there.

Now onto the transformation!

First the wing splits.

Then the front panel extends out to add possibility for arm movement.

Just a close up of the extending axel.

Then the propeller slides down.

His head flips up.

Here is our progress so far.

The tai rotates.

Then this thing flips up.

His legs separate.

Then rotate into position.

Ninja robe goes back down.

And your done!

Now lets stand him up!

Now this is more like it!

His arm.

I know both of them are super long and skinny but I sacrificed that for the plane mode.

I really love the ninja robe.

His sword.

His head.

The propellor

Hey Koer! Wait isn't Phos supposed to appear in these thing. (Koer) He's undergoing upgrades to fit in with the recent self moc upgrade marathon. 2444, Galaxus... Who's next! Will Cossy come back!

Finally for those who were fearing the day would never come. A group shot of the 2012 Bio Cup!

You probably noticed the stand so here are some more pictures.

This was the original plan all along but I didn't have time.

I love the water detail.

So going to be good at brick con

The largest plant.

One more final shot.

And for those who were wondering (no one) here is my favourite of my five DIY photo studio's. I built this one special for Bricks Click but it's multi purpose.

And also all my camera's except for my DSLR which this photo was taken with. I have an HD webcam for stop motion, a HD Sony Handycam for Video, a GoPro for my personal use and a Nikon D-90 for everything from family vacation to mocs. (Mostly Mocs) If you guys want I might upload one of my wake surfing video's to youtube. Request below!

Edit:

More robo pictures. It's really late so i'll add text later.

Also mandatory advertisment:

Hey guys

I just wanted to promote our new youtube channel here to our target audience. Let me introduce you to Bricks Click Reviews. A brand new youtube channel review new and old lego set, providing you with lego news, short stop motion brick films and so much more. I encourage you to check back often, subscribe, and help us reach our goal of being the number one lego reviewing channel on youtube. From all of us here at Bricks Click we hope you enjoy and continue to watch our videos. Here is our second one below.

Any way this was the hardest build of my life. I had so much trouble with this. Getting it to transform was darn near impossible and the stupid head was just killer. I don't have much to say about my opponent's entry except that it's good and that I feel a little bit funny about that killing comic. I understand it was a joke but it feels out of line. Good Luck

This is pretty cool. I really like the vehicle form, it was a nice choice of ride. However, the robot is pretty odd, with too long neck, arms and that weird tail stuff. My vote goes to your opponent on this.

Cool idea, but I would have liked a bit more attention to proportions. Either that, or giving it a non-humanoid form. As it is, I find it quite disappointing in robot form. Your opponent has my vote.

Pretty good! Transformers are hard, but you did okay. Although I'm honestly more impressed with the stand for Toa Ignika, it looks pretty dang awesome ;)

Transformers are challenging and you've created one that has great looks in either state! :)

The plane looks great, but the Toa form is lacking. I think you could have done more with that part between his legs, like make it into a giant scorpion tail or something. It's just very distracting and awkward. Sorry.

I am impressed that you went for a plane rather than a land vehicle. However I think Banjax topped you on this one. The proportions look a bit disturbing in comparison. The plane mode is great, but doesn't compensate for the robot form.

Awesome work, the plane mode looks great, and the transformed mode is awesome too!

Quoting Lego Obsessionist Both parts look disproportionate, but when you're doing a transformer, you can't really help that. Excellent shapes on the plane, very full, solid look. The Toa is a bit strange, but you used a lot of cool techniques.

Which parts?

Quoting Chopperskull ! idk who to root for. You did the opposite of your opponent. The vehicle mode is better than the robot mode. The robot mode looks awkward. But nevertheless, this is great because it works.And I do like it :) bio-Formers are the most difficult to make ! Good luck :)

Thanks, oh and btw always root for whoever beat you. If they win it makes you look better.

I really like how this turned out...but I think you were bested by Banjax this time around. Cuz although your plane form looks amazing(And I mean that with all sincerity)I think that Banjax got the transformation part down a bit better. Good luck with the judges anyways, this is a great moc =)

This is a quite hard theme, and though you maneged to pull it off well, your opponent topped you having his moc looking better and more distinct in both forms. My vote goes to him.

Quoting Leaith Flex I'm sorry pho I love vehicle mode but well ugh the humanoid mode sorry the arms where uncomfortably long, the body was horribly proportioned, the neck shouldn't have been there, is that what I think that is in the crotch area and you didn't give us any good shots of the humanoid which I'd think is the top priority. Sorry pho but Banjax has got you beat.

I know the robot mode is really weird but I was focusing on the plane. The thing in between the legs is supposed to be a robe like this: http://www.google.ca/imgres?q=Samurai&um=1&hl=en&safe=active&sa=N&biw=1279&bih=702&tbm=isch&tbnid=hCICvUT5KB_reM:&imgrefurl=http://idesigniphone.com/samurai&docid=jfLEdKnBfkafAM&imgurl=http://idesigniphone.net/wallpapers/01582.jpg&w=320&h=480&ei=37wYUIqbK8jxiQKnl4GICQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=178&vpy=22&dur=2418&hovh=275&hovw=183&tx=123&ty=163&sig=115328746764376871115&page=2&tbnh=149&tbnw=99&start=19&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:21,s:19,i:201 And i'll go take more photos of the robot for you.
