GUESS WHAT! NEW ABITPT POST! and surprisingly its NOT trains this time

(if youre curious about the random gold elements, theyre placeholders for printed elements that dont exist in studio. so, when i make the wanted list on bricklink to actually part them together, they stand out and i know to replace them with the actual printed elements)

for the past few months i have been re-imagining the four sets in the 90s space theme RoboForce as Exo Force sets. They are both mech themes, so it felt like a natural fit, and this project started like 8 months ago when i realized the robo raptor specifically would fit RIGHT in with the other "animal" exo force sets (the shadow crawler, battle arachnoid, and dark panther respectively)

a big pet peeve of mine when i see people "modernizing" or "re-imagining" or "upgrading" old sets or themes is that they end up doing mainly 2 things: doubling the part count and removing all visible studs. my goal here was to really dive headfirst into the design language of the exo force sets, and replicate it as closely as i could. this included trying my best to use only parts that were available during the themes run and trying to keep each build at a similar part count to the exo force sets of similar sizes. this definitely proved to be a challenge, but, the way i see it, its exactly the same challenge the original set designers faced back in the day: how do you make the most of a limited number of parts

overall i think i did a fantastic job. the builds feel authentically exo force, while still keeping recognizable elements of the original sets. especially when you put them side by side like i have. im so fucking excited to share these this has been MONTHS of work in the making

now all thats left to do is part them together!!! :D they should be done in time for brickfair in baltimore this summer!!!!

I've recently watched Roboforce today, and that was actually a great show. It's free on Tubi to anyone who lives in the US.

This robot named Maxx 89 is my favorite character from that show. I think he's quite silly and has such an adorable design.

The Nacelle Company Reviving ‘Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa’ as Animated Series (EXCLUSIVE)

The Nacelle Company will revive the '90s show 'Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa' as an animated series.

Despite Roboforce coming and going with little fanfare and the Biker Mice from Mars reboot not even out yet (although if it looks as bad as Roboforce does visually I don't see it sticking around for long) the Nacelle Company is pressing forward with their shared universe of misfit toys with a license that most people don't even think was real.

Thanks Doug.

Really, the only successful thing the C.O.W.Boys were apart of was an arcade-only game from Konami in the 90s that was the closest we ever got to Sunset Riders II.

Honestly, I'll forgive a lot if they somehow get the arcade game re-released. Till then, with the same animators that made Roboforce's terrible animation, and the same idea of it being a shared universe, unfavorable comparisons to other remakes from the other side of the ocean are going to be inevitable.
