Description This is my 2nd and main entry to 's Return To Scrapworld Contest.

Bio
Arachne is a reincarnation of The suffering It is unclear to the survivors what exactly happened but it is known that a more resilient mind took over The collective," transforming the male suffering into a female queen. Shortly afterward Arachne assumed control of all scrap zombies in scrap world. Any scrap being that has not broken free from the collective is under her control. Absorbing all six of the piraka gives her the abilities of each element and their powers which reside in each her legs. Like with the suffering, her consciousness resides through out her body by having more than one mind to transfer to. Arachne traded raw power for more speed and sharpened her mind beyond that of the suffering. Upon constructing herself she found roodaka's old body, liking it, she absorbed it and recreated it. Some say that it is Roodaka that took over the suffering, Some say that it was krikka seeing as how there are traces of him, but most survivors are skeptical.
Warning to all survivors Contact with Queen Arachne, while isn't automatically lethal should be avoided. Only toa or titan class survivors should approach Arachne. While dangerous, she is a valuable source of information, and alliances. Your death could mean the salvation of your village.

About the MOC I am submitting her as she is now because I wanted to get something in before the dead line, and will be heading out of town before the deadline. She's not done, but if this is what has to be judged for the contest so be it. The initial concept came from as ~MapleMaster puts it" staring too long at one piece," in this case, the toa Lhikan Mask from the Battle for Metru Nui play set. The bottom of her abdomen features the black Dume Mask from the Tower of Toa playset, then her thorax is built mostly off of the blue Thock mask from the Piraka strong hold set. The initial concept was to use these large masks somehow on a MOC. I'm happy with how those all got used. When I finish her I will add a lot more masks and other faces to really flesh out this "mask" theme. With her human body I took special care to make the color scheme consistent. As stated above it is a slightly modified and recolored Roodaka body. I also kept the back mandibles from the suffering. That was a very important element of the MOC to retain. This was a very tough MOC and I've still got a considerable amount to go if I want to finish her to satisfaction.

Update I added a little more armor to her legs, plus put a Lantern(Modified from ~wolfbossx 's version ) and "Matteo-nette" in her other. I made the puppet Matteo for no real reason, other than that's how it worked out as I built him. I wasn't able to get her to stand on her legs so I put makeshift stands under her to raise her body off the ground. This is my final version of her for this contest.

Thanks for Faving, commenting and what not.

I really need to rebuild this MOC with a proper color scheme and build. This was just a scrap build I threw together for a contest. But the concept is still really sweet.

WTF !!! THAT THING LOOKS SO EPIC !! But still the color scheme is abit to messy, at least for me, if it had only dark colors like black, grey and gunmetal and some dark red and very litle blue, it would had been better.
But still, very cool.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to randomemaster360 [2014-02-11 10:14:05 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. Its messy because it was a scrap/junk MOC. So I just built with what ever I had. I only messed with the color scheme a little bit.

randomemaster360 In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2014-02-11 18:05:16 +0000 UTC]

You welcome. I also have a MOC that is a scrap bot and has a bit messy color scheme, and for a short description it looks like an construction bot that explored and reconstructed itself and in the same time merged with a skeleton and many scrap pieces and it's right arm became a plasma canon. So yeah.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to randomemaster360 [2014-02-12 10:44:26 +0000 UTC]

That's a lot like the predecessor to this MOC The Suffering. This guy gained sentience and then started taking over other creatures and absorbing him into his body. Arachne is technically the same character but kind of morphed into a female entity that reshaped her body to a spiderlike creature.

I know who The Suffering is because unlike other people, I READ the description of a DA pic and not ignore it and come to all sorts of conclusions by only the pic.

To be honest, this was a while ago and I don't remember exactly what "I did." So what do you think I did? Might be the same thing I'm thinking of, might not be.

Do you have the parts to do it? If you do that's one thing, they're not complicated builds at all, but they still require the right parts.

wha tif the one who aproached her was a human child that cross worlds and that had no family would she destroy or care for them?

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to wolf-knight-1 [2012-02-14 04:43:32 +0000 UTC]

That's a good question. I dunno. I would imagine that the mutagen wouldn't work on the human, its something she's never seen before, so she'd probably study it. Though perhaps in not understanding it and its needs would probably accidentally kill it. I'd imagine the scrap would would have many dangerous and toxic things to something as frail as a human. I imagine bionicles, even Matoran are stronger and aren't as fragile as a human, especially a human child.

wolf-knight-1 In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2012-02-14 12:10:02 +0000 UTC]

but what if this said human was inhanced like cybernetics and the powers of a toa would that make it easyer for her? and what if there was a story on that?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to wolf-knight-1 [2012-02-14 12:40:34 +0000 UTC]

Hhmmmmm I still don't think she'd kill it. Or maybe its enhancements would be corrupted by the mutagen since it affects robotics and stuff like that. What do you mean? Did you write a story about this?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

wolf-knight-1 In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2012-02-14 13:14:53 +0000 UTC]

I mean this if the child had technoganic cybernetics as in a bionicles cybernetics like that and the story part is if archne ever encounterd a human child with such inhanments would there be a story on it cause I dont think a comic would work would it

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to wolf-knight-1 [2012-02-14 21:56:06 +0000 UTC]

It could work I suppose. I just was never too keen on the whole bionicle/human crossover thing. In my vision of bionicle, they're robots that took over the earth, wiped out the humans, then evolved into what they are now over thousands or even a million or more years. In that process they "forgot" that they wiped out their creators, completely ravaged the planet, then rebuilt it. But if you are interested in doing a story or comic I'm okay with that. Though scrap world is 's story line. I just built Arachne for his contest. So I'd ask him to before starting anything.

I'm not either. I don't do fan fics or write my own stories. I just kinda go off of something else, like I do with bionicle.
