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.

HAHA Don't give me that shit Chris. I know if you didn't have to be all objective and neutral you'd flip your shit over this. But you did get some sneak peaks and flipped your shit then. I'll try and touch her up before the 7th. I did get a chance for a third entry, which I'm very satisfied with so far. I feel very confident with my three entries. All are rather innovative and creative. I wish more DA people did contests. I like doing them.

in all defense i saw them only in teeny-tiny camera view...i have a small phone that normally doesn't see detail.
but i do agree on the contest bits. no one does them enough, and i'm running outta ideas..

true. Jake is always sending me shit. *jake sends me picture> replies with "give me a few minutes">has to move picture to computer* Its fucking annoying. I've got like a 3 inch screen on my phone, but it doesn't show the pictures on the whole screen.
Well I've got ideas. Its not like I can really host contests *has nothing to give as prizes* So I don't mind sharing my ideas and letting you facilitate them.
How would you feel about coming back to the BML? Cause if you come back I can add you and Alex as admins, and we'd keep the much needed odd number of admins. The five of us could be the "knights of the MOC table."

i think i'll stay where i am, group-wise. As nice as the group is, i'd rather just be a guy with slightly higher than higher privileges.
As for the ideas, i'd like to see them over. i've got a new idea now too.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Barrelex [2011-05-08 09:37:28 +0000 UTC]
Alight... We need to keep an odd number of admins, and I want to add as and admin to. But I guess we really don't need five admins, but what I was going for is to have a team where if one person lacks in one area, another person makes up for us, giving the group a crack admin team. Oh well.
Hmmmm where to begin...I think I'll note you about it.

Thanks Greg. I'll have your MOC done sometime soon. I'm actually on a break right now from it. It'll be up later today, I'm not gonna go to bed till I finish it. I think you'll like him, even though it is a little different than regular Helghasts. I'm just glad I'll have a third entry to really solidify my standing in the contest that this beasty is entered in.

Piece by piece...like every MOC I make. It was a bit of a process with this one. I kinda put some forethought into each part before building, so I kinda had an idea of what to do section to section.

How many pieces would you estimate?
OMG That could maybe be a contest or something. Kinda like in 2nd grade when the teacher has a jar of jelly beans or something and asks people to guess. Like, HEY BITCHES. GUESS HOW MANY PIECES WENT INTO THIS BABY!

Oh god I don't know! Its not like I count them as I build it. There's pieces inside of pieces covered up by more pieces, I'd have to take the damn thing apart and put it back together again to find out.
F_U_C_K__T_H_A_T!
Well its not like I can offer any prizes even if I did go through the massive amount of trouble to figure out how many pieces comprise this bitch, so it would all be for nothing. And no one likes nothing.

Rahiden In reply to ??? [2011-04-28 20:48:36 +0000 UTC]
I have a lot of little things to say about this, so perhaps a list would be more appropriate:
1. Jeebus, Dave spews out yet another giant [Barrelex really should put size restrictions in his contests...]. And you complain about lack of pieces
2. I know it's virtually impossible to stand such a large body on a few spindly legs, but perhaps you could make it look like that? You could make a stand that holds her body while the legs dangle down, giving the appearance of them supporting her.
3. Usage of the large masks: Genius.
4. I like the usage of the Piraka spines too, even if it does make her more colourful than ideal. But hey, it's scrap, anything goes.
5. I would say something about the boob-area, but I see that's from Roodaka's design. The Lego designers had no clue about the anatomy of boobs, so I guess it's not your fault that they're pointing the wrong way xD

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Rahiden [2011-05-08 02:41:47 +0000 UTC]
1. Thanks. SHUT UUUUUUPPPPP He'll hear you. Maybe He should put a size limitation on YOH FAYCE!!! You do realize I was barely able to scrounge the right parts together to make this, and I had to do it in what ever color I could find. I keep saying thin, I've got a crap ton of parts, just not the right kind of parts.
2. Yeah I tried getting her on her legs but I just couldn't get that big ass off the ground. I'll make a stand so her body isn't resting on the ground. I'll just have it kind of off the ground, more like a Tarantula.
3. Thanks. I did like you do, stared at a piece too long and had to make something happen with it.
4. Its more than just their spines. its all their torsos to, in the right colors and everything. I tried to get the limb colors on all of them but a few of them I've used on other MOCs.
5. You do realize you can stuff tits into armor yes? I don't think Roodaka was ever supposed to have "boobs" more like "female chest armor.' But yes if you wanted to make bear breasts for bionicles these would work if they were positioned the right way.

Rahiden In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2011-05-08 11:15:12 +0000 UTC]
1. Just trying to give other people a chance
2. Hmm... I can see that you've tried to give her a stand, but making one only ~4 units tall doesn't do much at all If anything it looks like she now has tyres stuck to her body. Ah well, the contest's ended, I guess it doesn't matter too much.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Rahiden [2011-05-08 13:25:27 +0000 UTC]
1..... Nooooooooooooooooo.
2 Well like I said I kept her lower to the ground, more like a tarantula. Her abdomen, thorax and leg placement is more based off of tarantulas anyways than other arachnids. What do you mean by 4 units tall?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rahiden In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2011-05-08 14:41:13 +0000 UTC]
I meant the tyre, being 4 'lego units' (like how you have 4.axles or whatever).
