LEGO Hero Factory MOC: Gerulan

Note: This was created before even the 1.0-series Hero Factory sets were released.  Modern-day "Hero Factory parts" did not even exist.

Another enemy our Hero Factory warriors may encounter is Gerulan.  Powerful in his own right, Gerulan is independent of mind and does not directly serve Von Nebula, though he has done some "contract" work for the evil overlord in exchange for credits and territorial passage privileges.

Gerulan may be frighteningly tall in stature, but his structure is surprisingly light in weight, with little armor to cover his high-strength metal skeleton.  Wise patience and explosive speed are his primary tools of battle.  Below we see a sequence of Gerulan pouncing upon a small training 'bot.  The hardened alloy spikes that adorn his triceps sweep forward as he strikes, and he brings them down from above with crushing precision, spearing and pinning his foe to the ground.  A single Hero stands no chance in a fight against this malicious giant.

LEGO Hero Factory MOC: Vaptix R-1S "Harrasser"

The Vaptix R-1S "Harrasser" is a light armed scout that is technically classified as a "medium weight" model due to the oversized laser that is the standard equipment on its articulated universal mount.  The R-1S is designed to excel at navigating exceptionally rough terrain such as volcanic mountains or city ruins.  Multiple units can be wirelessly networked together with "pack" behavior software, and multiple packs can in turn be interfaced to act as a "flock."  The Harrasser generally operates on four legs, but its hind legs can reverse for two-legged operation, handy for transportation and storage.

In practice, Harrassers have been mostly used as solo perimeter defense units around the hideouts of the Hero Factory's enemies.

LEGO Hero Factory in effect!

Hi all!  "The JANG" here from Bionicle-Untold.com and Bionicle Untold: Behind The Scenes.  I'll be sharing my LEGO Hero Factory creations (aka "MOCs") here once they start to arrive.  In the meantime, check out my two Bionicle sites and read my thoughts on the discontinuation of the Bionicle series and upcoming launch of Hero Factory.

See you again soon!
