Description An updated version of my first Rocka MoC ([link] ). I'll admit to being inspired by the original Rocka 3.0 figure, as well as this particular MoC ([link] ), in that I realized that I was being a bit unfair to Rocka, if that makes any sense. My William Furno rebuild used weapons and features from all of his generations and versions, so why shouldn't my Rocka figure be any different? A quick rebuild later, and here we are.

So, the biggest difference between my original Rocka and this one is the addition of his claw. However, I didn't want his entire hand to be a claw, so I designed it so that his hand retracts and his forearm armor opens up into the claw. I'm not quite satisfied with it yet, so that'll probably get some tweaking for the Mark III build I want to do. The arm transformation was inspired by the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 "Banshee" and it's mobile suit-destroying claw arm ([link] [link] and [link] ). In a future build of Rocka, I'd like his arm cannon to be able to fold to the side as well so Rocka can have two hands when he's not in battle, but I'm gonna figure this out in stages. I also broke up the solid gold with some dark metallic grey, which I think makes him look more interesting.

Oh, and for a bit of fluff, Rocka's arm plasma cannon has been upgraded with a sub-generator devoted entirely to powering the gun, while his claw is made of four hypersonic monofilament edged blades that can shear through most solid objects. He is capable of limited flight with the ducted jet thruster on his back, which he mainly uses for enhanced super jumps and midair changes in direction.

Hah! The claw threw me off. Such a simplistic approach, and yet I was racking my brain for a lil' while trying to figure out how you did it. Nicely done.

Thanks, I've already tweaked it a bit to make it even more subtle. I just wish the deployed claw was more flexible, but that's the limits of the scale I'm working with.

Much less gold than it used to be, but I prefer this color scheme.
