Link:http://www.mocpages.com/group.php/21263
A feared and respected creaature, the Guardian is an extremly intelligent and an extremely strong individual. He has equipped himself with dual energy gauntlets powered by his backpack. Having served in many wars, he has a number of battle scars including a replacement robotic left arm. His left arm was lost in a fight with a Makuta. On his right arm, he bears the spikes of that same Makuta after killing him.

4th Wall: I am pretty happy with this build. I am not a big fan of having to make his vehicle a jetpack, but I did not have much of the choice. This guy weighs to much. You see his heart light, wrist gauntlets, and eye all light up using Lego's lights and battery box. In order to make the MOC flow, I built the battery box in. This makes it so he has no need of outside power, but weighs a ridiculous amount. But his heart light is truly that, a heart light. And he looks awesome standing on my desk.
*edit: For those who do not believe his jet pack qualifies as a vehicle:The definition of a vehicle is: any means in or by which someone travels or something is carried or conveyed. Since the jet pack is carrying or conveying the figure to a location, it is by definition, a vehicle. Since the judges did specify that the figure had to be in "vehicle", the jet pack fits n the parameters.

Quoting Halhi 141 Looks good, but his "jet pack wings" aren't really a vehicle. A vehicle is more like a ship, plane, bike, or car...

I hate to inform you but you are inccorect. The definition of a vehicle is: any means in or by which someone travels or something is carried or conveyed. Since the jet pack is carrying or conveying the figure to a location, it is by definition, a vehicle.
