BRAIN ATTACK Stringer

I’ve waited nine years for this moment…

 

For reasons unknown to us, Nex and Stringer would never see another release after 2012, despite two full waves of sets they could easily have been integrated into. With Bulk growing increasingly orange and Stringer’s lack of unified color scheme, my belief is that Nex and Stringer underperformed in BREAKOUT as the two cheaper sets of the second wave and were cut from the lineup for the remainder of Hero Factory’s run.

 

Until today…

 

With a helmet commissioned from @galva_nize_ I present BRAIN ATTACK Stringer. He is of the same height class as Stormer and Surge and is equipped with a Hero Sword. He also has a scanning apparatus affixed to his arm for performing sonar sweeps and picking up thermal signatures. I went for a more hefty build as Stringer deserves the extra muscle. I have also tried to combine his blue BREAKOUT color scheme and his orange 1.0 colors to create something that honors both.

 

I have taken great lengths to keep the design language of the other BRAIN ATTACK sets:

- Melee weapons

- Silver or Gunmetal secondary color

- Transparent armor piece

- Hero Core Clamp and Visor

 

This build uses a shoulder configuration first used by Beardly_Designs. I don’t think anything else draws inspiration from other MOCs but, if you feel it does, let me know!

 

Building this MOC is honestly a dream come true for me. I’m glad I can finally give Stringer the form he deserves.
