The Cuckoo of the Prohibited Wastes




Create your own tribe here!






    Under other circumstances Rangis would have found the night calm, almost relaxing even, as a cloudless sky bathed the scorched hillside in moonlight and a light breeze weaved a little fresh air into the ash and smoke of the Prohibited Wastes. The young man nonetheless stopped to adjust the cracked goggles and stained cloth that shielded his face; it would take a gale to clear the air. A small bundle knotted to his side shifted and squirmed, and Rangis adjusted this too, ensuring the cloth was not wrapped too tightly about the child he carried. He still could not bring himself to think of it as his child, though he supposed he felt a father’s love for it, enough at least to spare it the sure death that waited if they returned to his village.

    He carefully picked his way up and down the ragged landscape, thankful for the pale light that revealed gaping pits and fissures, piles of jagged stone and stretches of coiling, thorny vines that waited timelessly to trap and tear the unwary. The night dragged on, the moonlight waned, and each step sent a wave of dull pain up his legs. He hung his head forward and began focussing his narrow, clouded vision only on the ground before him, and so walked into a heavy pole rooted in the cracked earth. The child gave a deep, inhuman wail. Rangis clumsily patted and rocked the bundle as he pulled back his goggles to study the pole, atop which sat the sun-bleached skull of some carnivore of the Wastes. Surely this was a sign that he was on the right path, that the old stories were true... 

    A shadow to his right shifted, and then another to his left, and Rangis soon found himself reflexively scrambling back as his vision filled with grasping hands. The blade he drew from his cloak was plucked from his grasp, his arms and legs were pinned to the ground, a wiry forearm wrapped about his neck; it felt as if an entire war band had ambushed him, so swiftly was he disarmed and overcome. Four malformed faces leered down on him from three equally malformed bodies. 

    “The child...” Rangis rasped, his mind reeling from a lack of oxygen. “My son....” 

    The grip about his neck disappeared as one of the mutants deftly unwrapped the bundle at his side. It pulled the child free with a surprising tenderness. Rangis looked at his son for one last time, the legless child his mate had delivered that very night. It was bizarrely alert for a newborn, its hands grasping those of the mutant who now cradled it, the wide eyes that protruded from its torso fixing on Rangis’ own. And then it was gone, disappearing into the shadows along with its new tribe, leaving Rangis to clumsily pull the goggles back over his wet eyes before he got up and went home.

Customer Customs Round 2

Sometime.... rarely but sometimes people shoot pics of toys I've made as they end up in their collection.... even more rare they make customs of my pieces and shoot pictures for me!!! Well this is time for another round of these. Awesome to see others take on these characters!

First up we have a rough blank CapsuleBot that went out to a good friend and long time trading/buying/selling/commissioning customer in the broadest sense of the word ha!

These pieces show up rough so I think he kinda went with it and made the dome rough too! The rough CapsuleBots are perfect for customizers who are maybe going to be doing some carving and sanding before going to town on it anyways... perfect to paint on or go wild with it. And the arms are articulated via super strong magnets in the shoulder and arm. These show up at your door rough cleaned, meaning I take the main flashing and excess plastic & make 'em balance and the 2" capsule seats. I have plenty of finished ones in the store as well, and if you want a cleaned ready to paint DIY version just shoot me a message.



Next we have some customs you might recognize the style from last time. Walter has customized a couple of See Creatures and.... well... you want to just hear it in his words?





And we have another HERE!






Please if you have either customs or shots of my work amongst your collection... shoot me a message with them and we'll get it up here as well!

Rise of the Beasts!!

This project needs a little shot in the arm....

Personally I really want to see these guys come through! There are just so many possibilities for customization here from paint apps to really digging into the toys and making them your own. This project will go on if the kickstarter doesn't fund... however the per piece cost will likely put them out of range for me to really want to go cutting into them... this is why I am really hoping toy lovers out there who want better toys at retail will back yet another awesome idea.

More JunkBots found on Earth

After two months with no sightings, another couple of robots have been spotted!

If you want a really close look click HERE





IntelBot:
We still don’t know why the NanoBots have been creating these. We caught it masquerading as a piece of litter, and only coming out when the coast was clear. IntelBot gathers data, but for what? We don’t know yet. And he’s still doing it now, even while we’re studying him. Maybe he’s gathering info for new ScrapBots? Who knows!






ScrapperBot:
We can’t be certain of why they’re here, but even JunkBots need repair sometimes. This little one has been observed cutting up pieces of scrap metal and taking them away, probably to fix or build other little machines. The only problem is, he keeps escaping us before we can find out what he does with it all! Maybe he’s removing useful parts for new ScrapBots? Or maybe he’s trying to fix others. Maybe if we catch one like him, we can find out!
