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.

Okay. I see. The thing is, your newer sculptures don't look as...refined? Yeah, I guess that works. They look a little lumpier and not as detailed as the stuff I saw when I started watching you. Freddy Mercury, Andrew W.K and your Billy Joe Armstrong sculpts all look better IMO. They look smoother and I dunno. Maybe I'm just an idiot and don't know any better, but I'd almost swear that your work comes out looking better when you use Air dry clay instead of super sculpy. Is there any truth to that?

Huh, okay so maybe I'm not crazy. Well to be honest, I stopped following. I liked your stuff that I saw when I first followed is what impressed me to the point of watching. I unwatched cause I didn't think your stuff was as good. I wasn't commenting and wasn't faving. I feel bad cause I know you do some cool stuff, I just don't think your latest stuff is as good. For what ever its worth buddy, I think you should go back to your old materials. I don't think this super sculpey stuff is doing you any favors.

RetardedDogProductns In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2013-03-15 22:17:01 +0000 UTC]

well i'm trying sculpey cause i want to try to do something new. also my old stuff didn't have so much details. now i'm working on a detailed sculpt [link]
i still do from clay. but maybe my stuff are kinda weird is also cause the school work is killing me. also i will try to do a human sculpt one day. And not only i'm doing sculpt for you guys, i also do themfor my self so i can train. The point my old sculpts may be better for you is cause they didn't have as much details but i'm trying to do clothing and stuff so i need sculpey also it's not easy to do sculptures. Also on my old materials it was harder to do a sculpt.

ITS NOT A POKEBALL! ...Hehe Just kidding. I've been told its a pokeball for 2 years now. I'm used to it. Shoulda gone with a different color combo though. Oh well. Red and white looked the best out of the 5 canisters I had(lost the green one )

Green's my favorite color. So I'm a little bummed I lost it. I could always buy the canister from BL if I reeeeealy wanted to. I should invest in getting a bunch more of the lids. They're useful parts actually. Might make a cool light cycle wheel.

Eh, what are ya gonna do? xD

And since I think more people are going to make pokemon jokes, here's the solution: make "forms" of him that look similar to the other Poke Balls (like the Master Ball form is the strongest, the Dusk Ball form does well in darker areas, and the quick ball could be based on speed).

Hope that helps

Nope, nothing's different but the mask. Replaced the slightly painted Huna for a regular one. I have so many of the Metru Masks. I think I got like six of each.

It was subtle, a little bit of silver accents on the forehead divit, and on the sides. Nothing too out there.

[link] 4 actual sets, three characters, that weird quick build thing, and then the accessories kit thing I got.

It's super annoying how the mask was released on 4 characters, and only in one color. That's kind of ridiculous.
