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.

Ah, I've got a good deal of those since I got all the barakki and they each had two of them. As for weapons I've got a lot of those ranging from 2004 to about 08. I have three plastic drawers filled to the brim with weapons and armor.

Ah so money is limited. Well at least you get it. I have no income and my parents pay for my cell phone each month which is $50 There's cheaper track phones and what not, but then you've got to count minutes and junk, plus everyone has this number.

Actually I got it between when I sent you this message and now. You remember what I submitted for the first contest? Well I think this is gonna be much better than that. I've got most of it planned out. However if I wasn't so freakin tired right now I'd be working it, but it'll have to wait till later.

His design reminds me of the old slizer sets more than anything, which is wierd. Those guys were before my time.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Lol-Pretzel [2011-03-09 03:42:17 +0000 UTC]

That was the point. I actually pulled that white gear off a white slizer that was in my bionicle pile. I looked at it and thought it'd be perfect for roling up and fitting into a ball.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Rahiden [2011-03-09 03:40:20 +0000 UTC]

I know right? It definitely makes deviations look good and it saved me having to do multiple deviations. If I did this normally that would have been three deviations. All he does is space the photos out so that there's a border. I thing I figured out a good way of doing in the program I use.

So tell me, what do you like most about the design, why does it make you scratch your fake beard?

I hhave, and apparently it was 's design.

I know its really cool. I can almost grow my beard out full so I wouldn't need one of these. But I hate having it grown out on the sides. I just like keeping my goatee.
