Description
Just a closeup of some details for my newest Rocka MoC ([link] ). This was mainly done for the sake of showing off the claw, but I also REALLY liked the look of the arm cannon, so you get that too.So, the hand is mounted on one of the smaller HF connector pieces as a sort of wrist, and then that's attached to one of the smaller arm/limb pieces, with the claw attached as forearm armor/a shield.
To transform the forearm shield into the claw, Rocka's hand turns 90 degrees, the light silver claws fold out, the hand and wrist assemble turn 90 degrees and then fold flat against the arm, and then the dark grey claws fold out. It can't really hold onto stuff much, and I'd like to improve that, but for now it is what it is. I'm also starting to not like that extra bit I added to the shield on top. Hmmm… *makes mental note*
Hero Factory and Rocka is property of the Lego Company

Retractable claws.. win, man, win.
Reminds me of Transformers, where the bots can retract their hands into their arms and use blades or guns in their place.. but the hands are still there somewhere. Very nice concept.
The thingy on top isn't so bad.. and in fact from the angle that you took the pic of it makes the arm with the hand out look a little more solid.. and I like that.

I'm actually torn on the claws. I like how the ones used here look, but I didn't like how they couldn't close on anything. So I replaced then with claws closer to my Lewa build, and now the claws can close on stuff, but they don't look as cool. Le sigh. Maybe there'll be some new parts in the next batch of Hero Factory dudes that'll look cool as claws.
But I do love the concept, and I'm glad other people like it too. Don't mind me, I'm just being really critical of my stuff.

I've already made some improvements to the claws. It looks more like it can actually hold stuff.
