Theme Project

[SONICjr]

I've decided that I have a bit too much money and time on my hands lately, and rather then continueally buying new video games that I'll forget about and never beat, I figure I'm gonna try a theme project. Basically I want to make about 3-8 Zoid Blox models to look like Mega-Man characters. I started with Gutsman already, and he should be done sometime next week(I need to re-apply a coat of paint, or start on it again after applying some primer). Basically Gutsman=Shellkarn. If anybody else knows any blox models that could look like Mega Man rivals post em here. I'm sure it'll be fun just thinking up the ideas. So far the ideas I have are.......

1.) Gutsman/Shellkarn

I'll edit this post as I get the ideas that I like or can find the models without having to order them.

Personally, I think gorilla tron would make a better gutsman rather than Shell Karn.

[genoman59]

but gorilla Tron isnt a "real" blox zoids, he's a hasbro one, wich have a different style.

[SONICjr]

Although Gorilla Tron could make a good Gutsman, Shellkarn is easier and looks more like Gutsman IMO. It has an under-bite like Guts does, and his fists are big, and are easier to paint with Guts color scheme. The only problem with Shellkarn is its height, its not tall like Gutsman is.

[genoman59]

yeah, but that's the good part of blox, it wont be hard to alter, just add one extra blox to it.

[SONICjr]

Thats one of the reasons I chose Blox to do this project with. Their fairly cheap ($10 at most), and I can easily change them to fit my needs, though I'd prefer to keep them in their original state, I'm just going for color Schemes for them right now, I buy some cheap action figures for the heads (for the later bosses that were more cyborg then robot). I'll just have to find a good use for headless toys later.

I have a good half of MM games, but all enemies are human like lol, so its hard to relate. Try Treble as leo repaint, and/or megaman's dog, forgot name, he's red so it makes things easier. Jus have to cut up their heads a little.

Also matrix dragon could be i think X4's 1st lvl boss dragon thing.

In X3 there was a fish, so maybe heavy modded mosa sledge?

Well i can look up all bosses in games, so ill post later a bit.

How could you forget Rush's name?

1.)Gutsman/Shellkarn
2.)StormEagle/BusterEagle
3.)Snakeman/Unenlagia(I'll toss a toy's head in the mouth, just to make it look more like him)

Just remembered, I wanted to use a Cannon Spider for one of the X bosses, but I cant find an image and dont remember his name or which game he was in. Its basically an excuse for me to try find a Cannon Spider, but still, it would fill my needs for the project.

[Skvora]

X4, like 2nd or 3rd priority boss. its electric and a spider, im not sure but, electric spider? or something. but he has hands so

[SONICjr]

Maybe, I dont own the games, I'm going based on memory. I never owned the games, I played em at my cousins house. Most of X's bosses were animal types, so they arent as hard to do, the early bosses that end with "man" are the ones that are harder.

You could do the chameleon guy from megaman X, I think, By using megaleon.

[aqouli]

My fave was X5, in which I beat all of the stage bosses, but couldn't get past the giant black goo guy with the red eye. ;_;

I think the bat guy (who gave you the power to stop time) makes a pretty good Zabat. Their color schemes are almost similar too.

[SONICjr]

I'm trying to find good sprite sheets to use for inspiration to find the best enemies that look like a Zoid type. If anybody knows good sites with megaman sprites sheets tell me.

[SONICjr]

Heres the possibilities I can use if I eliminate the "blox only" idea of the project.

1.)Gutsman/Shellkarn Have
2.)StormEagle/BusterEagle Getting
3.)Snakeman/Unenlagia Maybe
4.)Armored Armadillo/CannonTortoise Have
5.)Flame Mammoth/Elephander Getting
6.)Spark Mamdrill/Gorilla Tron Maybe
7.)BlizzardBuffalo/Dibison Getting
8.)CrushCrawfish/Maccurtis Maybe
9.)NeonTiger/Blade Liger Maybe

I think its a good list of Zoids, and they would look good with the colors of the bosses. Personnaly I think once I finish with painting the ones I have I'll get Elephander, not only cause I have a CP to use with him, but I think the colors of Flame Mammoth would look cool on it.
