A renowned warrior from the distant planet Mechaniron, Pylon leads his legion of brutes into battle against all who oppose him. ~~~ Flickr Album ~~~ So this MOC took about two months to build, nitpick over, and rebuild to get to the point it's at today. I can personally say that I'm pleased with the way Pylon came out in the end, being originally driven by the usage of Hero Factory 1.0 pieces in different ways (I mean, the leg armor is still leg armor, but it's upside down now). The longer I took with him, the more the MOC evolved from a much smaller drone-like character into a hulking, ax-wielding brute. In the story I'm developing, he is part of the same robotic species as Spry (a MOC I made earlier this year), as well as in the same universe as Carmine Wheeler and the Gasket Brothers.

So... after New Year's Day when the tree gets taken down.

This is the contest that never ends It just goes on and on my friends Some people started entering, not knowing what it was And they continued entering forever just because...

I am knackered. That is an eloquent fact. In fact, I'm so knackered from college and such that I'm gonna copy+paste the rest of this opening paragraph from last year's topic. Eeeeeyup. SO WHATS THE CONTEST ABOUT THEN, I hear you cry? Well, it's pretty simple as far as contests go. Below this wall of text there will be a simple image, which you, the dear reader, will have to edit and customize to your heart's content. Boot up your image editing programs, whip out yer pencils and get to work doing whatever you like to the image! As long as the images are SFW (basically no naughty x-rated pictures or r34 things) then it's all fine. Draw on it! Add text in the speech bubble! Write "LU 2 CONFIRMEDDDD!!!1!" all over it with your own blood (okay, maybe not that last one)! The whole point of this is to just do whatever the frig you like with this image, so go and do that. WHAT'S THE IMAGE THEN, you may shout? It's this one right here: (original source for the image is here, sorry about how low quality this one is but Waifu2x refused to work and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO DO THE THINGS, you may scream at the top of your lungs. To answer that, I'm giving you exactly two weeks to do this. This means the the contest will end at Midday GMT on 14nd December 2016, unless hardly anyone enters then I'll just extend the time by another week or so. Voting for the winner will start the following day (I'll discuss how this will work nearer the time, cos it was a bit of a mess last time and I need to rethink it). HOW MANY ENTRIES CAN I SUBMIT, you may also scream. To keep things fair, you can only submit a maximum of 3 entries per member. This doesn't mean that you HAVE to do three, but it means that you can't do any more than 3. EDIT: SCRAPPING THAT RULE 'COS IT'S DUMB, DO AS MANY AS YOU LIKE ARE THERE ANY PRIZES, I hear you shout. Well, no. I'm poor. Hopefully that should cover the basics. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me and I'll begrudgingly happily answer them. Anyways, that's pretty much that. Happy editing!

Uhh... yeah, about that...;

WillKirkby-Today at 10:49 PM NFS U2 it's NFS but the ingame soundtrack is just tracks by U2

So I've talked about how Journey to One frequently looks like and is about as interesting as a boring in-game cutscene from an early 00s adventure video game (you know, the ones where the characters stand staring blankly forward in an idle animation as they talk unless some critical action is taking place). Volta, the production team, has mostly videogames on their resume so it isn't a huge surprise. I just wanted to note a few new discoveries. One, Volta is owned by none other than Frima Studios! Not only a company that makes videogames, but the company that made the Bionicle mobile apps for G2. The person who discovered this also found that Frima's current FX demo reel has some snippets of the animation they pitched to Lego to get the job. (go to 0:43). JAnd the other thing, just to show how much this Netflix animated series is actually a videogame from head to toe, I also found this. The company that handled sound design is actually named Game On and has a grand total of 3 film & TV credits (including Bionicle) amidst a swath of many, many videogames.

Considering the competition is over, I'm kinda sad I never thought of this 'till now;
