The new Roborider in town is another MOC. (Sorry to say that the gunsel Wilmer had to be sacrificed. He was like a son to me, really he was.) But this new Roborider is chock-full of features. Most notably, it can drop onto all fours and
ride.
And! And! And! He can sit down and ride wheelchair style! The wings act as skid-supports. His head inclines 90° to accommodate both modes. He has wings, which really remind me of the poster art for that movie,
Michael. Hidden worm-gear action provides for a wide range of shoulder rotation
and serves as a suspension for the arm wheels. A transparent blue wheel under his chin gives the impression of a carefully tied, if voluminous, cravat. The only notable flaw (aside from the piebald colors) is the pair of wheels that - pardon my lack of delicacy - dangle between his legs. Sort of like a hamster.
I have no good idea what his name might be. Send your suggestions to
What's my name?![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sIu-63yFZWHrX79w8ZHl-UxwQMTZ2uX2f0Oob4OFlkKn8bwDmnFa2yxTleWQ-3AABSwvw3zKwtzRDZMuKJzSm9dgUeYg=s0-d)
Those pesky Bionicles, with their Olympian haughtines, will rue the day they crowded in on the Roboriders' turf, those ingrates.
Other items in cam-view are the relative newcomers Blaster, Millennium and the Onyx/Power/Frost Comborider, which is not as lame as I thought it might be.
