Furnok, Bohrok Commander



Furnok is a prototype commander class bohrok, developed for the purpose of commanding local bohrok units in their tasks and acting as an offensive/defensive unit rather than a worker. Unfortunately, one of many flaws was the range and ability to coordinate with other commander class units. Ultimately, he and a number of other prototypes were deactivated and locked away to prevent conflicting with the units that would become the Bahrag queens, who were capable of commanding every bohrok across the island simultaneously.

But when you wake one, you wake them all, and Furnok was no different. Maddened by the conflicting programming and the control signal of the bohrok over the course of their use, he manged to break free, and stalked any land where he could detect bohrok in use. Before he came to his senses and left, he had managed to singlehandedly depose the elemental masters of a land, and forced their matoran into adopting war-games to become strong enough to protect themselves in their absence.

Design wise, this MOC might not be the prettiest, but he boasts a number of interesting features, particularly the flip out shields on both arms, akin to the design of the smaller Bohrok, which flip open when the hands are pushed into his wrists using parts from the old nui rama sets. His other notable features would include the unique features of his weight support system, most of which I developed myself (though great minds think alike, so maybe I wasn’t the first to come up with the same ideas?)

I hope you guys like him, Im not sure Ill improve upon him any further (though I DID have a different cannon design in mind.) but I am open to suggestions.

Side note: I chose his name after poor Will Furno (Furno + Bohrok = Furnok) who’s bike had to be scrapped to finish this despite already using up a spare box XP
