Description
Gravix, suited up in the mechus combat titan(CT) Mechus is equipped with an arsenal of weapons: Dual multi round zamor sphere launchers, two shoulder mounted missile launchers, and when artillery doesn't get the job done he has a laser edge battle sword. Gravix is an experienced pilot and soldier. His ability to drive a CT suit surpasses any of his fellow toa. His skill projectile weapons contributes to this. Mechus is a a custom CT suit made specifically for Gravix's physiology and abilities. Mechus is no lumbering giant. While he isn't as agile and maneuverable as say Mototaur and Ryakk he can definitely move with speed. Mechus has three energy cores that power the suit. Two built into the calves and one smaller one on the back. The ammo for any CT suit when on the battle fieldSeveral things went into inspiring the look feel, and function of this MOC. I was thinking Power loader from aliens seen here [link] for the interface of the two characters, as well as the front cage design, as well as the matrix's APU seen here [link] for some of the look of the Mech over all, all that with a little japanese style mech thrown in with the look of armor and accents. I had Built gravix gravix and thought he would make a good mech pilot. HEHEHE I was right.

yeah. You know the nice thing about that show is there wasn't a bunch of holes in the story. It was a very solid story line. I mean they left a loose end or two, but that was done on purpose. I really hope that the movie that M night shamalan did that's coming soon doesn't suck and totally fuck up the story.

Here's hoping... and I too liked how they tied the plot together so well, seemed like they planned the story from beginning to end before starting it, and concentrated on nailing down the fine details as they went.

Yeah. It wouldn't surprise me if that's what they did. I'm thinking it was originally supposed to be four seasons, one for each element, but the network only gave them three so they had to do the last two in one. A final "air" season would be cool though. It would make sense to do the air season after the war when everything is peaceful and it could be about restoring things, or it could take place several years after the end of the third. There's so much that could be done with it. Nickalodian is kinda stupid when it comes to having hit shows. Look how they killed Invader zim and it ended up being a cult phenomenon. Avatar doesn't have that going on, but it was a huge success. Maybe it was a ratings thing. I don't know.

Well it is good to be finite and self-contained, prolonging the run of a series just to have more episodes to enjoy can damage the series as a whole, whereas soemthing that uses each episode for a specific purpose, that evolves and that crams as much goodness into each episode as possible will be better in the long run.

that's very true. I can agree with that. THough like I said It seemed like they were gonna do four seasons and smushed it down to three. I dunno, its all good to me. I think if they had kept going it would have still been good. THough I could see it getting to the point where it could get "milked" and start sucking. I think they could have gone another season or two without that happening.

Perhaps... it did switch gears rather abruptly towards the end of the second series, with the fall of bai-sing-se and all.

Holy mother of...
This is awesome! Well worth the wait. Though I agree with =TheUltamate about the colours, it makes up for that with it's design. The way Gravix' legs fit into the suit is great, and although his arms may be limited, I think it would look worse if they wrn't attached to the arms.
Does the plate holding Gravix in place flip up? That would be cool.
Oh, and about the panels - all you need is a basic editing program like Paint. Then you just copy and paste what you want in there.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Rahiden [2009-12-21 11:02:57 +0000 UTC]
I told ya it was awesome. Oh you mean that brownish orange and the lime green. Well I think that if you see it in person it doesn't look so bad. The lime green is to accent the see through lime green all over him, and the orangeish color parts are the oned from the 03 sets. The gukko bird and the ussle crab puku. I like the color combination I though that others would to. These are just two shot I've got up. I want to make some detail panels like you do for your MOCs. Once I can do panels I'll post a few detail panels. Plus I want to do a panel with his actionshots and the ones of him with his sword. And yes, Mechys has a sword, though looking at the pictures it looks more like a hockey stick.
Oh you mean the cage that's in front, yah that flips up. He's actually attached by his feet and his Torso. also have some shots of the cage opened so you can see exactly how gravix sits in there.
Okay really that's it. Okay. I'll try that. Thanks Aiden.

HAHA that's funny you should say that. If I were to pair every one from the good set with the bad ones those two would be paired together. Umm I think you're right. Ryakk would end up winning, but gravix would make it costly. Here the model looks bulky and slow, but in the bio world it wouldn't be. Thanks for commenting, though doing it on EVERYTHING isn't necessary my friend.

It was the newest episode of Family Guy where Peter takes over Louis's father's buisness. I love the end where Peter is stuck in the air and they can't figure out how to get him down or at the beging where they were waiting for the scene to start and then they notice that its already started.

Haha that's super cool. I was thinking about doing a thing sort of like that except shorter and wider and for a matoran. I created this super cool arm with 4 cordak blasters but it was too heavy to hold up at all. This is way huger and stronger than mine would ever be. I'm guessing the arm movement would be a bit limited, but looks real big and strong nonetheless.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to hydr0ph0en1x [2009-12-21 03:36:56 +0000 UTC]
So it didn't work out then? I did a prototype where it was basically armor that attached to him, then the secnd time I just went all out. There was no steady progression to getting big like the other two. I was pretty much instantaneous. Umm its got descent movement. There's still a bunch of kinks to work out having gravix holding onto mechus's arm so that he may operate it. If gravix's hand isn't connected to the mechus arm it can rotate all the way and stick out at a 90 degree angle. That's not too bad I guess. Then the torso can twist and bend though its a major hassle. The legs work pretty well. Its a little constrained having gravix's leg insode the mechush thigh. You'll see how he fits in there eventually. He fits in Mechus pretty much like that yellow front loader mech from the second aliens movie. I really need to get the detail shots in a panel like Maplemaster does it so I can post them. I suppose I should ask him how he does that.
