Our coverage for Bio-Cup 2021 Round 2 continues. Today we're looking back at the main pool and the entries that didn't continue on but still look pretty good. Read on to see em all.
Nyami Nyami Breaches the Kariba Dam by Cameron Subtheme: Africa
This MOC brings together a very cool scene based off an interesting legend. There's some nice landscape depicting the canyon walls and the large dam behind it, but the monster breaking through it is what really catches the eye, and the use of the many hexagon plates as the scales is really well done.
P.Ter the Reformer Subtheme: Eastern Europe & Slavic Countries
This Russian robot looks in need of a recharge. The basic premise of the scene is quite nice, but I really love how smooth and solid that torso design is; real quality stuff there! Also a great tile to use on the head.
Wirebird by Obsessionist Subtheme: Eastern Europe & Slavic Countries
This concept is a little abstract to me; it's supposed to be some sort of futuristic space generator? Still, I really love the shaping of the red pipes and golden weapons, and the firebird head is nicely detailed, so there's still a lot to like here.
Gamma Sucker by Jayfa Subtheme: Latin America
This one is an amazing mixture of a famous legend, futuristic tech, and a Bionicle concept all mixed into one. The steam punk colors and designs really come out, from the ribbed details on the torso to the greeble on the arms to the neon lit eyes on the head... it's all quite fabulous. The goats are doomed in the future.
Mothman 2-77_1 by DanielBrickSon Subtheme: North America
Mothman knows how to chill out in the future. The insect like appearance with the head and antennas are very apparent, but the rest of the body has a very rustic robotic appearance. Sitting atop a crumbling wall also makes for an interesting scene.
Old God, New Life by The Whimsical Brick Subtheme: Oceania and Mairitime Southeast Asia
Makaboteng has an interesting look here with his long slender limbs; I especially like the necklace and detailed deer skull atop his head. The mini deer at his side is also quite clever, and I really like the use of the Slizer faceplate. The scenery is fairly basic, but man that basket design is nice.
Gnowee the Smogwalker by Silvak the Mocist Subtheme: Oceania and Mairitime Southeast Asia
Perhaps this MOC relies a little too much on the cloths to give it is good shaping, but it still has nice details like the pistons and krana in the torso, and the torch is quite neat too.
Minerva: Goddess of eSports by JimiFurno Subtheme: Western Europe
Okay, this is a very clever concept of the future, because of course there'd be a goddess of video games. The chair looks pretty comfortable (I mean, for a Lego figure, anyway) and I like the krana design built into the PC. The goddess herself has a slender but solid build, and I like the colored hair elements. May she bless the best of the gamers.
We have more MOCs from Bio-Cup 2021 Round 2 to feature, so stay tuned for a few more stories!
