About this creation

"Peoples of the Milky Way Galaxy! I, Colonel Gax of the Skull Armada, have an important announcement to make: you are doomed!!"

"As you sit in your armchairs gobbling fried vegetable pieces and dreaming your petty dreams of a larger TV screen, little do you suspect that destruction is at your door: and its name is MAGNOX!"

aside: "Would you imbeciles get out of the shot? You're spoiling my intimidating broadcast!"

"Created using technologies so advanced we haven't even come up with names for them yet, every component of the mighty MAGNOX is designed with but one purpose: Mayhem!"

"Its advanced integrated weapons systems will bring chaos and destruction until all my demands are met... and even then I might carry on just for fun!"

"With armour and forceshields impenetrable to any of your puny weaponry, the MAGNOX will drive your so-called military before it like leaves before a hurricane!"

"So go, my mightiest minion! Go forth and bring the terror of the skull to the galaxy! You will be unbeatable! Invincible!! UNSTOPPABLE!!!"

"Sorry boss. We can't get it started."

This broadcast was brought to you by GaxCom - the friendly face of galactic domination. We would like to leave you with some more simulation images of the MAGNOX from our publicity material.

'Kids - don't skip school. Or else!'

Actually, all I ever wanted was a career in musical theatre.
'The hills are alive... with the sound of mayhem'

Fourth wall: this was built as an entry in Chris Roach's Mech Factory contest! As such there are 6 pieces changed from the basic contest frame:
- single ratchet joint hip changed to double (I don't have any of the other kind)
- plates on the backs of the legs replaced (2x6 with 2x4 on the upper legs 2x8 with 2x6 on the lower legs) to allow the knees to bend a full 90 degrees
- 2x2 plate in the cockpit replaced with a seat
Many thanks to Mark Sandlin for designing the Space Skulls set, it's a great theme to muck around with. I'm quite pleased with the flail - makes for some good action shots, it just takes ages to pose it!

8/10 The only weak parts of this mech are the weapons, and that's about it. It looks quite intimidating!

Veery cool mech the head looks a little bulky though and the weapon is a little weak looking so overall I will give it a 7.5/10

9/10. The 9 is cause nothing is perfect. This is my favorite Mech in the contest, aside from my own of course :P . Love the head, the skeleton chest, the shoulder cannon, everything. Well, except the "flail" thing. Think that could have been improved a bit. Regardless, Nice Mech/funny dialogue!

Awesome! I especially like the rib and skull designs, and the slope on the feet is great. Excellent work and good luck in the contest.

I love the design. How it's part skeletal and part robotic makes it look brilliant.

AWESOME! I must say, you captured the "evil" essence tremendously! I like the articulation, the weapons and the head is pure genius. Great presentation to.
