Shredwing, yes I said Shredwing. This MOC may seem like a rebuild of Antronz, but it's not. Shredwing is the second character built in the pile the night I made Seawing. I used some parts from my bin. Shredwing started off as a basic build of Antronz who was missing important pieces, like a second wing and armor plating. To make up for that I used spare Barahki armor pieces and added different weapons, then created a set of razor wings from Vahki blades and 2001 Bionicle pieces, making a set of articulated wings. The light up blade in red was a thrill to add.
Who is Shredwing? He is one of the main characters in the Seawing comic, the second most important you could say. Shredwing is a bounty hunter with a back story that proves his character to be more mysterious than you would expect at first glance. He's not a Makuta as many assume, so what is he? That is the mystery of this story.
A little more on the build. This is the first bounty hunter based character I made in my collection. The weapons he wields all apply to his work. A curved blade with a knife balance in his right hand, and a laser sword in the left, connected to a chain with added features that become a bounty harness (I'll speak of that function in another post). He does contain a leech pod in a chest harness, but mostly uses it for scare tactics. In the menacing mechanical wings with no skin, there's an energy which allows Shredwing to float and fly. The wings themselves each have razor clip blades Shredwing uses to threaten his targets, sometimes pinning them to the ground and placing the blade slots over their wrists so they don't dare move while he harnesses them. The blades snip and clip by mind function, these mechanical monstrosities a form of prosthetic. These wings are what gave him his title. He had a different nick name before, that being Claw breaker. I can't get into anymore without spoiling the story. ;P Enjoy the build, as before, I do have some extra art to share for following posts.
