That's just how Rubblemaker rolls. When he builds one small fighter, three more are sure to follow. So here's his quartet of small, one man fighters in the Blacktron 2 livery.
The one in the upper right corner is probably my favorite. What's yours?

Rubblemaker is at it again, this time with the second generation of Blacktron.
I'm pretty sure Rubblemaker has made use of every single new curved piece Lego has made. I've pointed it out before, but it's a bit f=difficult to make curved Blacktron 2 MOCs, simply because of the few curved Trans-neon-green parts there is. And there won't be any more, because Lego has discontinued the colour.The most recent Collectable Minifigure line that Lego released is all about space, in case you haven't heard. and one of them is the Blacktron Mutant.
While perhaps not the greatest minifig to amass an army of, the torso is absolutely a great update on the Blacktron 2 torso. I love it so much.
Now, Jamie Thul has taken the torso, along with another part from another fig from the same CMF line, and created an updated version of the jetpacked Blacktron, who I refer to as "Big Boys"
It is a brilliant combination, and small base for the fig includes another yet another part from a series 26 fig, a 1x2 plate printed with yellow caution stripes from the M-tron!
I've been seeing a lot of crabs popping up on my Flickr feed lately. Apparently there is some Crab-Collab going on. Rubblemaker joins it with a Blacktron 1 crab. Clearly a person with great taste.
I always smile when someone utilizes Bionicle parts well, and the use of the Bohrok head pieces as the crab's legs is brilliant.
A second MOC this year based on the Aerial Intruder? I must have accidentally sacrificed a goat or something. Robert Fillmore brings us this beefy, twin cockpit craft that is clearly an Aerial Intruder on steroids. I love it. I need more of this!
There's no crazy parts usage going on here, it's just a fun, well executed Blacktron 2 creation.
I can't ever recall seeing the magic wand part used on a Blacktron MOC before, but Gaurav Thakur used one on their latest Blacktron ship, titled the BT-12 Crow.
My favorite part, perhaps other than the wand detailing, is the cockpit. With only a finite amount of Trans neon green cockpits available, the builder manages to do something that stands out, yet still fits the Blacktron aesthetic.
This Cosmic Gemini is a truly wonderful new take on the Aerial Intruder. Not a stud to be seen, and curves everywhere. It's a bit challenging to be so curving in Blacktron 2, for there aren't many curvy trans neon green canopies to work with, but Librarian Bot has overcome that small detail and given us this gorgeous ship.
Or in this case, watch out for what may be lurking inside the asteroid field. Gaurav Thakur has been featured before on this blog, And I suspect will again, if creations like this keep popping up in their Flickr stream!
This rather abstract looking squared rover really gives of Borg vibes, don't you think? An old Febrovery build by Walter Whiteside Jr. I guess he couldn't wait a few more days til this years Febrovery?
Apparently Rubblemaker has been busy! I previously posted his Trident, but he had apparently built three more very swooshable looking ships to go along with it!
Its hard to choose a favorite among them, but I'm going to have to go with the one in the back! It's just the most menacing of the lot.
Every so often I build a Vic Viper of my own, and normally, I am quite disappointed in the results. This year, I can finally say I built a Vic Viper that I am happy with.
In case the inspiration wasn't obvious, I was inspired by 6981 Aerial Intruder, and the Millennium Flacon. So I named the ship Aerial Falcon. Inventive, I know.
The combination of the two worked really well in my opinion.
And it's the 15th AnniVVersary of NoVVember, too. And of course, someone, Rubblemaker, had to do a Blacktron VV.
Mind you, it's not quite a proper Viper in my opinion. The prong's aren't prongminent enough, the cockpit is too large.
But it get's bonus points from using a Bionicle part, so that evens things out.
The builder doesn't offer ay description for this Renegade remake, but with a build like this, do they need to?
I suspect it could have been built for SHIPtember, that time of year when builders build SHIPs in a month.
Can a steam engine work in space? I don't think so. Does that make this a silly crossover creation? No. This Blacktron Train by Joseph Joosten perfectly exemplifies this blog. Taking something not Blacktron, dipping it into some black, white, and neon green paint, and voila! It's now coloured Blacktron.
I posted this here MOC of mine to Flickr months ago, but it seems I never be posting it here, where it belongs.
Good thing I waited, for today be TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY! ARRR!
It be a Blacktron coloured boat. Obviously I be replacing the trans neon green with just your regular lime green, but that be a compromise I be willing to make. I didn't do all out and beyond with me other Blacktron Boat, which also be a Bionicle one.
