#lego roboriders

I think this was the last moc I made for a contest for a long while after. This is Silencer, the roborider. A moc I built for a roboriders contest on Instagram in 2016.

Unfortunately you can't turn her into a gun like the actual roboriders

Lego Technic: RoboRiders

Before Bionicle became a great success in Lego, it’s predecessor RoboRiders was released in 2000.

“Quick to build. Action packed functions and great shooting. They come in cans with secret codes to games on the internet.”

There are six cool models so get ready for the RoboRiders! Unfortunately, RoboRiders did not last long, so it was discontinued. This was because unlike Bionicle, RoboRiders did not involve an actual story for fans to listen and be interested in. Wanted them when I was young so I collected them wondering how the future will react when they see these toys exist.

Toa Pohatu va RoboRider Dust.

Did some more photographic stills of Pohatu.

Here we see Pohatu being attacked by Roborider Dust. But thankfully the Toa of Stone managed to defend himself from the wheeled intruder with one good kick.

Starting at it with satisfaction, Pohatu took the front wheel of Dust and walked off to show his fellow Toa.

This shows why Bionicle was way popular than it’s predecessor RoboRiders.

Alright, now that I have figured out the answer to my inability to post images I can finally do this.  I actually took these pics like a month ago but there was an issue with the post and I lost tons of typing in the description and just rage-quitted and wasn't able to post it till now.

Anyways, for anyone who remembers the Lego "Roboriders" (what came right before Bionicle started and right after "Throwbots/Slizers" had ended) this is the combined mode of all 6 of the regular Roboriders which never had any instructions released by Lego.  I actually saw a thread somewhere online that said there used to be instructions on the Lego site but the link lead to an empty page so it got lost in the sands of time I guess.  Well I did find a pic of the combined mode as seen in an old Lego magazine and by just studying it carefully, I managed to build it!  With a few of my own little alterations here and there of course.

I added Dust's last 2 grey wheels in the front and put Onyx's wheels on the back behind both those roborider bodies and I had to pretty much BS the blackish part that Power's head and arms are coming out of cuz it was hard to see in the magazine scan.

I hope my images are helpful enough to anyone else who wants to try and build this amazing piece of art.  He's actually bigger than "The Boss" and I can tell cuz I just bought the Boss on eBay recently and he's freaking awesome!  I'll show pics of him some time soon...
