Lego Metarex

The Reaper of Worlds would be awesome, especially if you could get its tentacle things to work.

Awww, I was hoping someone did this. O WELLZ.

I never heard of that one. Could you explain and give a pic of it, or possibly give another suggestion?

Oh, and I don't know if I could make any of the metarex lords. They are way too detailed for something about the size of a bionicle toa (in lego terms). Also don't usggest Scarship, that thing is way too big.

[Twilitbeing]

I don't know if that's its official name; I've just heard it called that somewhere. It's the one that harvests Planet Eggs.

[galaxina]

Now I just finished a new model.

This one is a Voltnid



If I remember correctly, Voltnids are collosal humanoid metarex with tentacles on thier backs. As seen in the screenshot of one I have, Voltnids are known for how they use mostly electricity to attack, hence the name VOLT-nid. There are two notable encounters in the show with one, the first being when a red eyed variant attacked angel island in the first part of season three. Later on, another voltnid, this one with a blue eye, escorted Baboonzle during the assault on Planet Telton Niv.



This one I thought was very impressive. He is about as big as my Havokk one and has good looking tentacles. I made the tentacles by using arm pieces ended with Bohrok Lehvak hand parts, which were a perfect comparison to its tentacle claws. The tentacles are very moveable, but don't extend like in the show however.



Its hands are a design I have been using a lot lately. They are these lego droid arm parts kept in place with T-bar parts. Its eye is one thing that was a challenge for me, since a voltnids eye isn't round like a Havokk's or the mineralis. My brother actually came up with the idea to use a Toa mahri mask lens peice for it, and I sure thanked him for the idea. It was great looking. I also wanted the eye to look good, since the only way you can harm a Voltnid is to target your attacks to its eye, otherwise attacks will do no good.



Can you not be amazed with the lego creation of mine? I can't see why not.

[Twilitbeing]

That's the one I was thinking of. I like the model, though I seem to remember the arms and legs being single pieces, not jointed limbs. Also, the claws extending from the back look a bit too thick, though I don't guess there was much you could have done about that.

[galaxina]

Well I am glad I managed to fulfill your request Twilight, even though I didn't know that was it at the time.

I also managed to finish yet another one, an ATI



If I remember correctly, ATIs (short for Anti Tank Insects) are large organic/robotic hybrid metarex that the metarex use kind of like living tanks. They are about 70% living and 30% non-living. They also are dense in brains and act not unlike savage beasts, but this can be enhanced when a metarex foot soldier jack into the place inside the hatch on its stomach. I don't know what sort of creature they use to create these mass produced living tanks, some think they are alien creatures that the metarex capture and surgically deform, but I (and a few other people) think that the metarex completely bioengineer thier living components.



They are armed with thier legs, teeth, horns, and pulse cannons in thier mouths. I thought it was cool how I managed to use a Piraka zamor sphere gun to make its mouth and its horns look cool too. The only thing I don't think looks good is how the color scheme is a bit off and how I didn't make it look organic enough at the places where in the show its flesh could be seen, like at the leg joints and neck, but it is still nice. The poseability and looks are a bit nice too.



I also added a feature from the show. In this one scene, during a battle against four of them, Knuckels ripped off a plate on an ATI's head, revealing a brain like organ, and then he jabbed the plate into thier and killed it. I roughly made that using a Rahkshi kraata parasite. This I thought was good since it gave that fleshy look to it.



Yet another lego masterpiece of mine. ;D

[Twilitbeing]

Which episode was this in?

[XT-421]

I've got to get crackin' if I want to beat you, lol. Hmm... what one shall I build? Or shall we just make a LEGO art page and post our works there?

Give me something to build, I have, debatably, the largest collection in the Midwest, lol.

Alright, I finaly got a new Lego metarex done, and this is a really good one.

This one is Ghabdrah.



As I recall, Ghabdrah was a metarex experiment created by Black Narcissus for a similar purpose to his Foot soldiers type Gold and Silver, as a way of enhancing thier army, but he never found a way of mass producing it. Ghabdrah was a 60% organic, 40% mechanical creation that resembled some sort of alien dragon, but had very high intelligence and even higher power. Ghabdrah was fought as a boss by Chris, Tails, Cosmo, Amy, and Cream where he was guarding a planet egg. He was a tough opponent.



This one I think is extermely impressive. I managed to do it almost exactly like in the show. I thought it was unique how I used yellow felt to make the inside parts of his wings, though normally they are like energy wings though. The head I didn't think went that good though, since Ghabdrah's head has a more beaked and pointed shape, but it still recognizeable. The hands were also cool too.



As in the show, Ghabdrah relied on his plasma breath, whiplike tail, and super fast flight to win in battle. I managed to make this by making a place where if you put a Tahu Fire sword in his mouth, it looks like it. Plus the Tail is long and whiplike as well.



Also like with my past metarex models, I included his weak points. In the episode, Ghabdrah could only be damaged by attacking the power core on his chest. However, he kept this well guarded by deflecting shots from Tails and Chris's guns or Cosmo's leaf cutter with his wings, arms, and tail or by swiftly dogding them. So sometimes, Amy, Chris, or Cosmo had to attack Ghabdrah right inside his mouth when it was open, which would make him screech in pain for a few seconds and leave his weak spot wide open. After the battle, Ghabdrah was not destroyed, but he then flew out of the base where he was in, making him one of the few metarex to escape with his life.



This one is better than all my others, don't you think?

[Twilitbeing]

That picture isn't from the show. Um... that's Omega Ridley from Metroid Prime 3. Here's a picture for comparison:



I think what you've come across is a fan-made image. Still, it is probably your most accurate and detailed model to date, even if you had the source wrong.

[galaxina]

Maybe they look similar, but I am sure that is from Sonic X. The background looks definately from the show and it has that Noveax episodes thing that a lot of screenshots from Sonic X I have found have. I haven't seen the episode yet, but I read abut it on the internet. Also Omega Ridley's wings are slightly differnet and he hs no glowing core on his chest like that.

Plus did you read the description on it. I got the pic of Ghabdrah and the information from that site that I always talk about and I had previously saved it all n a word document.

[Twilitbeing]

Have you ever heard of Photoshop? Believe me, I have seen every episode of Sonic X, and there is nothing like that in there. Look carefully at the two images: you'll notice that they are in the same (mirrored) pose and have the same appearance except for a few slight changes and a less 3-D visual style. They don't look similar; they look all but identical. That picture you posted is an edit - a good one, but fan-made nonetheless.

And, pardon me for saying it, but myself and others have reason to doubt, or at the very least question, the credibility of this site from which all of your information originates. If you want to prove it to us, find some more information from another source to back it up.

[galaxina]

Okay, I get it. That screenshot is not official.

In other news, I got another one done. This one is better, for I made one of the Metarex lords.

Its Yellow Zelkova



As you might all know, Yellow Zelkova was the tough, berserker like leader of the metarex. He was one with a large amount of power and above average attack and defense. He is also my second favorite metarex lord (my first being Black Narcissus and third being Pale Bayleaf) this mainly being he is much like Brute Tartarus from Halo. However, though he was not dimwitted, he never really used any strategy in combat, and what he had in attack and defense, he lacked in speed, agility, stamina, and special abilities. This made him one of the more weaker bosses of the lords, Dark Oak being stronger with his intense power, extremely high and balanced stats, and planet egg connection, Black Narcissus due to his spellcaster like abilities from his Staff of Despair, extra high health, and incredible strategies, and Pale Bayleaf due to his ninja-like speed, agility, and stealth, and his unmatched skill in melee combat.



This guy was very hard for me. Lego actually didn't make many yellow Bionicle sets, so I had to use what few I had. That was still enough though, for he still looked right, and very yellow. His visor is not lego, it is a cardstock strip that I colored black and taped on. His mighty axe, the Fang of Nukka, is a modified version of Axxon's axe and resembled it quite well too. I also gave him that bulky look as well and movable fingers. His mouthpiece is normal legos, which I found a difficult, but effective way of sticking on.



He isn' on of my bigger models, but he didn't need to be. The metarex lords are apparently almost the size of a Toa, so that's how big he is. I also made him a bit taller as to shot his bulkiness. Here is him compared to Toa Takanuva.



"I also got a free Eggman Temporary Tatoo" - Yellow Zelkova

[galaxina]

I really wish someone would comment on my Yellow Zelkova model. This is my first metarex lord one.

But in the meantime, I finished a new one, A Met-T-Rex.



Met-T-Rexes as I was told are large bipedal dinosaur like metarex that serve as guards. They also have a pun in thier names (metarex Met-T-Rex). They are not bosses, but they are still tough to beat as for they have very high health. I have not seen the episode they were in and I am wondering if these onnes were from a faked screenshot, like my Ghabdrah/ridley one. If these are actual metarex form the show, tell me.



I made this Met-T-rex very well. Its horns and the jaws on its hands, mouth and tail look very well. Though the tail and hand ones don't move, the mouth snaps shut by use of rubber bands and a lever. I like how I put cool features on this one.



Also Met-T-Rexes are known for the giant water cannons in thier mouths and tail jaws that fire at strong enough pressures to rip thorugh solid rock. I couldn't include this, but I did include its weak spots though. In case you don't know, attacks will not do any damage if you hit any other part of a Met-T-Rex's body. You will only do damage if you hit its weak point, the glowing orb on its nose.



Pretty neat I must say. I just hope this metarex was not from a faked screenshot.

[Twilitbeing]

I remember these; they patrolled the Metarex fortress where Red Pine had his first (and only) appearance.



^ I think this (the one biting Rouge) is from that episode. (Sorry about the huge image.)

Your skills are improving; that is a very accurate model, probably your best after Ridley. If you want a real challenge, try the one on the right of the second row. It has a similar design, but is larger, more ornate, and flight-capable.

[galaxina]

Okay, I am glad that this one was not a photoshopped screenshot and was in the show

And what about my previous yellow zelkova one? How does he look?

[Twilitbeing]

He was also fairly accurate, though his head looked a bit too much like an animal's in my opinion. (Then again, you had your difficulties.) It was impressive, considering.

[galaxina]

I am glad you like the detail on my last ones.
Oh and I got a new Lego Metarex done, though this one really isn't a metarex army unit, its actually a vehicle of the metarex.

It's called a Demolisher



I haven't really seen the episode this one was in, but from what I heard online, they are large quadrapedal metarex walkers that are immensely strong. About four of them are enough to make disaster area. They also make strange noises that was not explained for what reason (My guess is its like there version of car beeps). It is piloted by one Metarex foot soldier, naga, or major. I wasn't able to put the pilot in (mostly cause lego never made a foot soldier minifig and I can't make one really), but it does have a pilot's seat for if there were one



I can't help but notice how these vehicles resemble 4-legged versions of the tripods from War of the Worlds. Its a pretty tall model and the legs even pivot well. The claw like thing on its underside is its main blast weapon. It can fire rapid fire shots or charge up fr an explosive blast.



Not only that, but I love how its I got this one down. I have the feeling though that this may have been a faked screenshot, like my one previous one. I certainly hope not, fo this model was so accurate.



I must say, Neat!!!
