Kal Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Annoyed by those pesky bats, scaring your Rock Raiders away, making them drop the final energy crystal you need for your support station seconds before you run out of air? Well, here's the solution: The Rock Raiders ABDT (Anti-Bat-Defense-Tower): Featuring two six-barreled miniguns and a searchlight to bring brightness to the ceiling and ends to their lives (also features two practical tool holders for tool storage while you defend the base). Can be operated by a Rock Raider or as a self-controlled turret and fits comfortably in the loading bay of a Chrome Crusher. Also works against slimy slugs. Just a little for-fun build I made while going through some old parts and having the BrickArms miniguns at hand. Probably doesnt go too well with TLGs anti-violence thinking, but whatever.

Jimbob Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Nice idea! Those pesky bats won't be lingering long around that flak gun, I'm sure. I like the construction of it, good job. Are those chainguns official LEGO parts? Also I think the RR logo looks a little out of place, maybe. Perhaps if they were replaced with grills, it'd look like a vent for the heat? Or you could even make a cache for the ammo/laser deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I must say that the brick you've used to connect the guns to the main frame looks a little unstable and when you turn it it would snap off... meh. I don't have this though and you know best. Those chainguns look pretty nice. I agree with JJ () about how the RR logo looks out of place, and I think (as he said) that replacing it with grils would be a good idea. Also, why is there a control panel when you operate it from two levers? Why does it have two tool bays? I suppose the answer is 'why not,' but they seem out of place on the Mining Laser (if there were any), soo....

I slapped it on for the sake of it and because I had it laying around, but grills seem like a good idea.

I cant really see any buttons on it, I intended it more to be some kind of "target acquired" screen that locks on the bats. On 3/2/2014 at 6:53 PM, aidenpons said: Why does it have two tool bays?

They are present on the 3 RR sets I have (Hover Scout, Rapid Rider and Chrome Crusher), so I thought it would fit with the theme. And you probably wont get your tools dirty by throwing them on the ground [/irony] And thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to dig through bits for a fairly long time before you find the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
