I didn't. As it is, I've never heard of Galaxus the Bionicle. I have absolutely no Bio-experience to speak of. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure how I came up with the name, but a web search turns up quite a few results, so I must have heard it somewhere.

nice build but did you base him off of galaxus the bionicle?

An excellent build with an epic color scheme! I don't even know what shade of yellowsih-green that is...

Tim..... What an Incredible creation and the colours and detail is magnificent. WELL DONE on another spectacular build.

Wow, man! I honestly don't know what detail to comment on first, since the entire model is extremely impressive. I love the shoulders, legs and that jetpack. Great work!

That is really a pretty nifty design, Tim - smart proportions and colour choices. And, oh yes, I know what a burden brothers can be. Maybe you should use the completely implausible gun on him ;D

Great use of blocks of colour and the sinister red eyes really bring the character to life. I like the gun too.

Pretty much what I said on Flickr. Cracking build mate :)

How the mighty fall...

Aw, too bad it got destroyed :O Anyways, I really liked this one, especially the sleekness you gave it. You merged all those bricks together so nicely that they stopped looking like Lego, and started looking like an actual plastic model that was manufactured. (Ok, Lego is plastic... And admittedly it was manufactured by you... But you get the point... I hope) That gun looks gorgeous, by the way. Personally, I loved that double-barreled design, and the mask/head section is spectacular as well. The Galaxus has got to be one of my favorite MOCs you have made.

Pretty good. That's quite a bit of purple there.

Epic! Wonderful design, and you hit the size and detail aspects just right. Love the implausible gun! If you wanted to put a comedic Douglas-Adamsish spin on this moc, you could make that the gun's real name; a weaponization of the Improbability Drive.

Such a nice Japanese style mecha!

Funny thing, my Bionicle sig-fig has the same name as this MOC. No worries though, "Galaxus" is pretty easy to come up with. Excellent work here!

Great work!! Looking awsome!! Only one idea croos my mind for this creation..some kind of sword or double-axe..to go better with shield. :D

Excellent!!

Very cool. Excellent detailing on the shoulders, and coloring throughout. Would like to see a slightly more structurally capable mecha from you! However, I too use stands now and again when designs work but have some small but catastrophic issues.

I see that you are continuing to NOT fail!!! ;) Maximus was spectacular, but this is a grand leap forward. You should be quite proud of him. Proportions are exageratedly fun. The gun is ridiculously massive. AND a jet pack! What more could you ask for!?! Brilliant work!

Trying to get away from them, David. My problem is that I was not very strategic about my LEGO buying at the very beginning. I thought that I would be satisfied with nothing but MOCs dominated by the bleys. A few with nothing but bleys showed me my miscalculation. For the time being I'm not buying any sets that are mostly bley. Thanks for the compliments, David. Always good to hear from you.

Nicely done mate! You have now inspired me to create one of my own. Though it might be a while before I get around to it. That's an impressive main picture you have there. I myself am using GIMP more often for my mocs. Any suggestions on how to make a good looking main picture with GIMP?

Nah, we've gotten a bit old for punching each other. I just reminded him that Mom likes me more. That usually does the job;) Thanks for the compliment, Barto.

Thank you, sir. I was proud of Maximus in that I learned a lot from him. Galaxus has given me the correct proportions. When I go this direction again, I will rework the hands and see where that leads me.

Thanks for the pointers. I wouldn't say that I was going for the "odd" look, but I was trying to exaggerate certain pieces of him. Mostly it was the gun and the shoulders. My original thought was also from the knees down, but when I added from the waist up, it took away that exaggerated look there. Oh well, I'm glad you like it. It's one of my favorites now of my works and this love affair I'm having with robotic figures continues.

This is SUPERB System-work, M8. GREAT shaping, love the jetpack and torso greebling. Textured and poseable, proportions all match well, excellent work! =)

Okay, when I saw the shot of it standing on the ground, I was like "What the...Is this even LEGO?!". Tough it's odd really, whenever I look on this guy, he looks more like a Transformer, rather then a Mecha, well, to Me at least. And that wrist gun is absolutely amazing(and huge), but the small barrels kinda make it look odd(unless you were aiming for the "odd" look, I'd recommend to change those barrels to something...bigger). Anyways, it's an excellent build and a huge step forward from your previous MOC! Congrats!

I know the way you feel regarding the play versus aesthetics argument. I've settled on the looks side myself I think, and this one certainly looks good. Possibly the best colour combination from you yet - escaping the bley bricks I see. Stand outs for me are probably that hefty gun, and the construction of the jet pack. Love the photo work too,

Impressive! Did you give your brother a shot in the arm for knocking it over?

Most impressive. You've taken the good points about your Maximus and revised the bad points and made a good, solid design. Very well done. ^Blub^

Hahaha. Thanks, Chris. There is little more that I need when I build a mech than to know that Chris Roach is "luvin it." Thanks a lot, man. You are an inspiration.

You've pretty much hit on my favorite parts too. Although, there is a little place in my heart for that ridiculous gun;) Thanks, Joe. It means a lot coming from someone with such experience in this type of genre.

Thanks, Starscream! Glad you like it.

luvin it!

I love every aspect of this build. The big shoulders and the jetpack are my fave bits. Fantastic space scenery too.

Incredibly cool!
