Lego hero factory villain MOC: Core Ripper

Here's my Lego Hero Factory MOC, Core Ripper! Here are 2 pictures of him.


Front view

Back view(Ooh, new back armour! :P)



Name: Core Ripper
Weapons: (Hero) Unknown, possibly a blade he uses in the villain form(villain) Blade, unconsciousness gun, saw blade shield
Colours: Dark red/maroon, red, dark pearl grey/gunmetal grey and black
Personality: Not much is known of Core Ripper's personality when he was a hero, but it was known that he was a very loyal hero to his team. After becoming a villain, he is a vicious, cunning and strong villain. He'll do anything to accomplish his task and destroys anyone that gets in his way.
Affiliation: None
Status: Alive, still out on the loose
Quote:
"I must destroy Surge to avenge Core Hunter!"
Background: Like most heroes, he was built in the hero assembly tower.
Not much is known about his history of being a hero or his mission logs, but he was known for being loyal to the Hero Factory, and he had a best friend-Core Hunter. Core Hunter, who was formerly a hero, was best friends with him, however, due to a glitch Core Hunter had, he left the Hero Factory. Core Ripper, liking Core Hunter, had betrayed Hero Factory as well to follow his friend's footsteps, which gave a huge surprise to them because he had been so loyal and all of the sudden, he betrayed them. After the betrayal, Core Ripper helped Core Hunter collect hero cores after Core Hunter had obsession with collecting hero cores. Although, that did not last very long, as they were separated because Core Hunter got captured by Zack Quickfire. When the breakout happened, Core Hunter escaped, like other villains, and found out about The Doom Box. He told Core Ripper to stay in Makuhero City to guard his small little base while he goes to find the pieces of The Doom Box to destroy Hero Factory. Although not very pleased as he wanted to stay with Core Hunter, he still let him go and find what he needs to. Who would have known that the thing that he wanted was used against himself? Core Ripper was upset and angry upon Core Hunter's death which was caused by Surge, and vowed to destroy Surge to avenge Core Hunter. He wreaked the normal kind of destruction that almost every villain did, but it was only to catch Hero Factory's attention and to get Surge out so that he can rip his hero core off his chest. Unfortunately for him, he hasn't been able to force the hero he really wants out, and perhaps he has to post up some fake missions to drive out all heroes except Surge...
That's it for now and I hoped you like this MOC!

Lego mecha MOC: B8009

Here's my Lego power suit MOC! Here are 3 pictures of it.

Power suit w/ minifigure out of it

I was actually inspired to build this MOC after seeing this kickstarter project and I have to say, the kickstater project looks nice! Anyway, onto the MOC. Now, I can tell you this is NOT my usual building style, but for some reason I went with this today. Usually I would put the studs showing at the front but instead, it is at the back, that's why you see the bottom of the Lego bricks facing towards you on the power suit and the reason for that is so that I can use the holes on the bottom of the minifigure's feet to stick onto the studs.   I could have made some custom Lego power suit arms and legs myself, but I was lazy to, so I used some Hero Factory parts. Then, I built some relatively simple feet to go along with it. Next, what's a power suit without a weapon? That's why I added a blaster on the lower right arm! The other lower arm is a very armoured arm with a fist. After the basic thing was finished, however, I had some problems that I managed to fix and they are:
1. The waist kept dropping off the upper body. I fixed that by using Lego technic bricks to support it(although it made me have to modify it a bit).
2. The part which connects the fist's fingers keeps dropping off. I fixed it by using some sideways building bricks(I love 'em!) and placed a roof tile onto the sideways building bricks.
By the way, my examinations are over!!! :D I'll be back to my normal posting times(post everyday, skip a day or 2 sometimes)! Haven't came up with a story though.That's it for now and I hoped you like this MOC!
