Description
Update(3-13-13)I updated Hyder's photos and edited them into my current collage format. The only changes I made to the MOC is removing the painted Kanohi Huna Mask for a non-painted one. There wasn't much difference anyways.Before you say anything, yes I know his sphere shield looks like a .
about the MOC
Hyderbawl(hider ball) was one of my three submissions to 's Return to Scrapworld Contest.
Updated(3-13-13) Hyderbawl was my first ever Matoran build, as well as my first real attempt at the smaller end of the MOCing spectrum. Even though Hyderbawl was retroactively built, he contains only parts dating to 2004 or older. I have no plans to update him using more modern parts.
Scrapworld Bio
Hyderbawl is a Survivor. He's immune to the mutagen and hasn't been killed yet thanks to his sphere shield. When the sphere shields are connected/closed they complete a circuit that gives him special sonar so he can sense what's happening outside of the sphere. The shields are also motorized so he can roll around when they're open. Therefore If its legal I'm gonna classify this as a vehicle to because the shields aren't actually a part of his body, as shown in the third picture.
Personality wise Hyderbawl is very timid, cautious, and kind of cowardice. He gets scared very easily, but when it comes to his friends he will stand up to a fight.
Hyderbawl Was a Ta-metru Matoran before the apocalypse. Because of his astonishing defensive abilities he would travel though the furnaces of ta metru when somethhing would break in them internally and were too hot for most other matoran to go into. Now in scrap world he is a scout/locater for hire/trade for any survivor squad. He helps only people who are not scraps. He most often shadows Piravir since most if not all the survivor squads want to know what he's doing or where he's going. The biggest advantage to Hyderbawl's sphere shields is he can hide in the plainest of sights with his rather inauspicious looking sphere. This allows him to get closer to dangerous characters like piravir and the suffering while still living to report his findings.

Like the Bohroks and other things of the like, I have a soft spot for creatures/characters who can morph or roll up into spheres

I know what you mean. There really needs to be a update to this. Its too bad Lego hasn't done a third constraction theme. I'd love to see what a modern take on something rolling up into a ball would look like with Modern lego parts.
Lego made these lids fit together, so I just had to make use of that.
Thanks for your comment.

Not any more. I finally got a second red lid from another MOCer so the white is coming off and I'll be giving him an update I think.

Well I was thinking of different color types and different body pieces like masks and such also like in some video games when thereΒ is a giant death ball its covered in more armor like spikes and things. or like in yugioh a monster called Thunder ball. Thank you for asking for my input I love bionicles and the mocs you dotheir awesome.

Oh I see what you're saying. Hehe yeah a little rolly dude in a "death ball" would be pretty scary. And I could easily go with different color combos. I never really thought of it, but I could do a whole set of little dudes like this.

Awesome! Also imagine a racing game based off these guys bioniclesΒ would place bets off witch one would win and the game has no rules so its like pod racing mixed with death race. But thank you so much for replying to my messages it really means a lot.

That would be pretty cool, though I imagine it'd be a rough ride inside those balls if they're getting banged around a lot.

It's basically a suit upgrade that Samus can get that allows her to somehow turn into a small metal ball. GIF below.

That's pretty cool. Yeah that's more or less the same thing as this guy. Though he just runs and jumps, closes the shields and viola, ball dude.

I'd have to take him totally apart to do that, so no I can't, but there's not much to him really. Just take a good look at the photos and guess. Or better yet make your own version. I always encourage people to try their own thing instead of copying mine.

I built my own version of Hyderbawl named Serp, which is russian for Sickle. Instead of canister lids, he uses the deathstar thing. Do I have permission to post a pic, considering hes Molotok's sidekick? I would link this as the original inspiration for serp, and give you credit for the idea.
The idea was to make Molotok (hammer) and Serp (sickle)
If you dont want me posting it, i understand.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to hellfire1999 [2014-05-06 23:32:36 +0000 UTC]
Yeah man. You literally just asked questions that fit two of my four rules for using my ideas. I really need to set up a FAQ page when I reinstate my premium membership.
Basically, anything of mine is fair game for non-commercial use if you:
1. Tell me you're going to do it before you do, or in this case post it.
2. Give me Credit for the original idea. Don't steal it as your own.
3.If its fan art, and I like it, allow me to post a copy of it in my own gallery linking back to the original.(that doesn't apply in the case of MOCs inspired by mine.
4. Be respectful with my character/IP.
Its pretty basic stuff.
And I don't think this quite applies. Making a MOC of your own inspired by someone else's MOC isn't really stealing. Hell I'm doing that right now with my own MOC. I told the guy his MOC inspired me, but I would have posted it regardless of whether he liked it or not. Its not like I'm trying to claim the actual idea. So yeah a mention would be nice, but I don't think is absolutely required. I really appreciate you asking before hand though. Thank you.

hellfire1999 In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2014-05-07 00:22:11 +0000 UTC]
cool, man, thanks so much!
I'll give you a mention so you can see the duo together, cause i dont think you're watching me. But its gonna be my first 2 MOCs that anyone outside of my family sees. Since its my self moc and his partner, I'm thinking these ones i'm not gonna ever take apart, but rather constantly add on to them untill Molotok is a full fledged titan and Serp is no longer a junk matoran. Hes currently just kinda random pieces, but it looks cool right now. It would look cooler if he followed an actual color scheme tho.
again, thanks for giving me permission to use your idea. ^^ you're MOCs are some of my absolute favorite bionicle MOCs of all time, followed by Deadpool and the Darksyde dude whos entire name i dont remember. But you three kinda got me back into building MOCs.
also, did you see my response to the piece trade question?
